Monistat 7 and bleeding

leekee816

Hi ladies! Last week I was prescribed Monistat 7 for a yeast infection. After using it for two days, I woke up to bleeding (going back to my original post regarding bleeding after a BM). Even though the bleeding was just what was on the tissue and slowed to spotting, I still went to the ER. They said don't do anything vaginally until I had a checkup. The baby was fine and I was fine. They couldn't explain the bleeding. Yesterday, I had my follow up and everything was fine. I asked about continuing my prescription. They said it was fine and to just be careful with the applicator. I was as careful as possible, but same thing happened this morning. I called Walgreens, who state not to continue using until I talk to my doctor. I didn't freak about about the blood this time, since I know I'm ok, but has anyone else had this experience with monistat 7?

Yep! I just got over a yeast infection and used Monistat 7. I had some pinkish discharge for 3 days while using it. I called my doctor, and his nurse said that was OK, as long as it wasn't "period-like bleeding." She said the applicator and medication probably irritated my cervix. I stopped using the treatment, and the pink discharge stopped. They tell you to call your doctor just to be cautious.

Thank you for responding. It's all gone and I'll be calling my doctor on Monday to find alternative ways to treat it. I can't take another morning of waking up to bleeding. I had a feeling that the Monistat was doing it. It probably affected me different since I'm extremely sensitive.
