Q: I just got my first yeast infection from not changing wet clothes and too tight undergarments, so I instantly purchased Monistat 3 and talked to my mother and doctor. It's 8:30 pm, and I've waited as the directions said until before I go to bed to insert the medicine. However, I'm a teenager and I nibble on food all the time!

I don't have any other symptoms besides a 'fishy' smell that becomes more strong during intercourse.

Q: Hi, my daughter was being treated for a UTI but, the doctors said that if the symptons did not go away, it may be a yeast infection. They have not gone away, and she does not want to go back to the doctors, because she read on the internet that they have to do a vaginal exam, is that true? It is her first yeast infection, what is the risk of using Monostat without first consulting a doctor? Thanks so much
