Check out the yeast link at www.hufa.org.  I don't know if monilia is a yeast related problem but if you have a yeast problem, it makes everything worse.

I am going to assume here you are referring to a dose of Diflucan for a vaginal yeast infection. Diflucan is taken in a single one time dose and you will usually see improvement in 24 to 48 hours. Above answerer is giving dosing instructions for other types of yeast.

I had this problem also.  I ended up going to an endocrinologist for an unrelated problem.  I mentioned it when he said, "Do you have any other questions?"  He determined that I had vaginal and gastro-intestinal yeast.  He prescribed a drug called Diflucan that you normally take for a vaginal yeast infection.   His reasoning was that if you get rid of the yeast in that entire area, it is more effecacious.  I took one pill a day for an entire year, getting  blood testing every three months to make sure it wasn't damaging my liver.  I haven't had the problem since I stopped the medication in 1990, and my liver is fine.  If you don't want to seek the services of a physician, the advice given above about limiting your sugar, and intake of fermented foods is also a good way to control it, but doesn't completely stop the overgrowth of yeast in the body.

Yeast is a naturally occurring flora found in the vaginal tract.  I suspect the condom changes the pH of your vagina making it more favorable for yeast to replicate too much and cause an infection.  I would NOT douche after sex as this may make the problem even worse!  Other thoughts:  You may have an allergy to the compound of the condom - try the latex version.  Also if you are using the spermicide type then try the type without.  If you need more lubrication, then there are lubricants that are compatible with condoms at local drugs stores.  Lastly you might try adding some yogurt to your diet.  There are active cultures (bacteria) in the yogurt that can help keep yeast organism at bay.  Good luck.

Get an anti fungal cream. They're available at the drugstore (ask your pharmacist) or at the grocery store. DO NOT use crystal violet dye. My dad (true story, I'm sorry to say) who's a scientist used some because he read it would kill jock itch. It turned his balls and dick purple and made the fungus mutate. To this day, I wish I'd seen the doctor's face when daddy dropped trou! :-)

Remember a fungus is better prevented once it disappears otherwise no drugs help -\n\nAvoid moisture\n\nAvoid antibactirals (antibactrials kill normal bacteria on your body this allows fungus to grow more)\n\nIf you are using too much body sprays stop that - they have antibacterials.\n\nGo to emedicine via google search and you can read some good stuff.\n\nThese are two drugs from emedicine -\n\nDrug Name\n Terbinafine (Lamisil) -- Inhibits squalene epoxidase, which decreases ergosterol synthesis, causing fungal cell death. Use medication until symptoms significantly improve. Duration of treatment should be >1 wk but not >4 wk. \nAdult Dose Apply bid 1-4 wk \nPediatric Dose <12 years: Not established\n>12 years: Apply as in adults \nContraindications Documented hypersensitivity \nInteractions None reported \nPregnancy C - Safety for use during pregnancy has not been established.  \nPrecautions Discontinue use if sensitivity or irritation occurs; for external use only; avoid contact with eyes \nDrug Name\n Clotrimazole (Mycelex, Lotrimin-AF) -- Broad-spectrum antifungal agent that inhibits yeast growth by altering cell membrane permeability, causing fungal cell death. Reevaluate diagnosis if no clinical improvement after 4 wk. \nAdult Dose Gently massage into affected area and surrounding skin areas bid for 2-6 wk \nPediatric Dose Children: Not established\nAdolescents: Apply as in adults \nContraindications Documented hypersensitivity \nInteractions None reported \nPregnancy B - Usually safe but benefits must outweigh the risks.  \nPrecautions For external use only; avoid contact with eyes; if irritation or sensitivity develops, discontinue use

what are you using? monistat? if so and its not working, you have a different kind of yeast infection. ask for the pill that gets rid of yeast infections, i can't remember the name, but they will know what you are talking about. it works like a charm. monistat doesn't work on all types of yeast infections. on the rare occassion that i get one the pill is the only thing that will work for it, because I don't get the common one. If that doesn't work try using a different soap down there. you might be sensitive to the kind of soap that you use, try summers eve intimate cleanser, it is very gentle and made for that area.

Yes, as well as any antibiotic that will kill of the natural bacteria in your vagina.\n\nIf you develop any signs of yeast infection (itching, cheesy white discharge) tell your physician right away. He/she will probably recommend Monistat over the counter or a generic equivalent. Yes, you can go ahead and get it from the drug store and not consult your doctor, but it is in you best interest to keep him/her abreast of any changes in your health.

Hey, I didn't got to the doctor or the emergency for my vaginal  problem either.  Money and insurance is also a problem fo me.  Here is what i did to solve my problem.  I went to the stor and bought some cheap Hydrocortisone Cream 1% Anti ich cream for the outer part and put it on 3-4 times a day.  Just a smal amount will do.  I went to the Vitamin Store and bout something from there.  They keep it in the fridge.  It is called Gy-Na.Tren.  It is safe, effective and natural beneficial flora L. acidolpilus, NAS super strain in veggie and gelitain capsules for yeast overgrowth.  It has two 14-capsule bottles, ome you take orally and the othe vaginally.  It works I am sure of it.

It sounds like you have a vaginal infection... such as a yeast infection.\n\nI would recommend seeing a doctor if this is your first encounter with a yeast infectiong.  I know it can be embarassing but it's important to know for sure what it is so you can have it treated. \n\nIf it is a yeast infection and your doctor confirms it, you will be able to tell what it is next time and just go buy Monostat (or other over the counter treatment).\n\nResearch has shown that daily ingestion of yogurt containing the bacterium Lactobacillus acidophilus helps in the prevention and treatment of candidal vaginitis (a.k.a. yeast infections).\n\n\nHope that helps.

Vaginal yeast infections commonly occur during pregnancy, probably related to the high estrogen levels. Consistently high estrogen is the most likely reason that treatment takes longer to cure a yeast infection during pregnancy.\n\nThe Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that only vaginal medications, such as cream or vaginal suppositories, be used for yeast infection treatment during pregnancy. Treatment takes longer than usual during pregnancy; 7 days of medication is recommended.\nIf you are pregnant, do not use these nonprescription medications without first discussing your condition with your health professional.\n\nDiflucan is NOT safe to take during pregnancy.

Monistat cream or Diflucan pill, but if you get them frequently you should try to find out why. There could be an underlying medical condition that is causing them like diabetes.  I can tell you that I used to get them alot and stopped wearing panties and rarely get them.  Also, when I was on antidepressants I got them more.   I've heard sticking a whole peeled garlic clove up there every night for a week or so, removing in the morning, helps.

No it will not go away, you need to see the OB/GYN for an anti-fungal.\n\nI don't understand why you are scared to talk to your mom. Many young women and women in general get yeast infections, and you have one.\n\nDon't wait, it will get worse and then you will regret not getting to the doctor sooner.

Hi, i had the same problem for long years, and one day i decided to act on it and stop taking prescription medication.\nI found GSE (grapefruit seed extract) i've been taking it now for 6 months, just 2 tablets a day. No prescription, no side effect, and safe for long term use. I'm eating everything. Of course i stopped eating all kinds of high fructose corn syrop things and hydrogenated oils and eating healthy yet very well. Ever since that day i've never had any yeast problems. GSE cleans up your body and keeps you from getting all kinds of infections and inflamations etc... you might want to try it... it's cheap too. I can help you more with this if you like let me know.

The best person to see would be a qualified and reputable Naturopath who deals with women's issues - not your GP. Modern medicine only goes so far with candida and isn't a permanent soloution.\n\nThe best natural things to do that have worked for me are to :\n\n* Cut down on your sugar intake - sugar encourages yeast to grow in your body\n\n* Avoid ANYTHING with yeast - especially bread! Check all processed foods ingredient lists to make sure they're ok.\nEg. Original flavour doritos are fine but Nacho Cheese doritos have yeast plus a whole heap of other things.\n\n* If you must eat bread try corn tortilla's or eat sourdough bread that creates it's own yeast and doesn't have any added. Always avoid white starchy processed bread.\n\n* Avoid any foods that may have mould in them, aged cheeses (stick to younger ones like mozzarella) mushrooms etc\n\n* Take acidpholous tablets (available at your chemist in the refrigerated section) They help to promote good bacteria in your body.\n\n* Drink heaps of water\n\n* Avoid alcohol - it does the same thing as sugar\n\n* Avoid any cured or pickled foods - eg ham, salami - essentially the more processed food is the worse it is for candida\n\n* Not sure where you live but I'm in Australia where we have a priduct called Vegemite which is essentially made out of a yeast extract - avoid anything like this (similar to marmite and promite)\n\nFinally, eat heaps of vegetables! \n\nHave a look at the sites listed in the sources section. Good Luck!
