I first had symptoms of a yeast infection about a week ago, itching and soreness in labia and vaginal area, clear discharge. I treated it with the drug store brand,1-day, over-the-counter yeast infection treatment (tioconazole). The symptoms got better at first, and I no longer have any discharge, but I am now having much more intense soreness and itching of the labia and vaginal opening. I’m very red and swollen down there. Should I treat with another over-the-counter medication (I’ve been reading that the 1 day treatment is not the best)? Is there something that it could be that is not a yeast infection?

I'm on antibiotics & now have a yeast infection. Tonite I wiped myself and it hurt. There was blood on the toilet paper and when I looked there was a tear (or cut or slice) on my labia. Could dryness cause this? Would the yeast infection cause the dryness? I haven't had sex or put anything down near there to cause it. Any ideas? Serious answers only.

I was just diagnosed with my first Yeast Infection yesterday. The doctor prescribed an oral tablet and the vaginal cream stuff. Anyway, I'm a bit nervous to use the cream internally. I've only been applying the cream on the labia, but I am going to try to insert the cream tonight… but my question is, Will the cream ooze out throughout the night? If not, what happens to it? Does it dissolve?
Thank you!
