I cant afford to go to the doctor but I did notice he tells me all the time that i have a yeast infection. I havent been to the doctor in two years but I have just realized I get a yeast infection right before my menustration. Why does it say on the instructions to not use monistat if your not sure you have it. Could you do any more harm to yourself if you do try and cure yourself. I spend 20.00 dollars a month on this stuff. Thats less then going to my doctor.

I understand what you are going through – I also fight yeast infections constantly and used to get about one a month, right around my period. My doctor tested me for hyperglycemia and diabetes – increased blood sugar can feed yeast infections (as can any sugar). I would have your doctor do that for you.
In my case, I am not diabetic – just yeast infection prone. Lots of things can trigger them – sex, certain types of condom, too much sugar in my diet, messing up my birth control pills, and more. I control it by being careful about all those things, and also by 1-2 yogurts a day (make sure it has live active cultures) and taking acidophilus, an OTC vitamin similar to yogurt. (And the occasional Monistat – I’m down to one about 1 every six months. Another tip – use the 7 day – it’s more of a pain but MUCH more effective and cheaper)
Also – do you take a lot of antacids? Stomach acid helps control yeast – and atacids eliminate stomach acid. I have stomach problems and have to be careful how many antacids I take, or yeast will flare up.
It is very important you confirm with a doctor that you are suffering from yeast infections, and not another medical problem/STD/etc.
Good luck!
