Pink discharge when using monistat

Adrianna145 · 04-04-2008, 03:06 PM

Hi guys,
I am using Monistat 7 for a yeast infection. After the first application I started getting a pink discharge. Its really light but it has me a little worried. I am pretty sure that the med is working for the yeast infection but whats with the pink discharge?
Does anyone have a good reason for this?

Thanks

::::UPDATE::::

I gave a call to the monistat people just to ask if this happened often...the lady wouldn't give me a straight answer but did advise to stop using the monistat and go see a doctor. I don't have the money or time for that right now but I think I will try one more night to see if the pink discharge will go back to normal on its own.

I hope you realize that when I say "pink" I mean that my discharge is mixed with a little bit of blood.

Anyhow, I would like any opinions on whats going on ...reasons for whats happening..
.....or if you think that the reason this happened is because I don't have a yeast infection in the first place....

It's peachish pink with dark bits (clotted blood) and it started last night as I inserted my last dose of the 3 dose monistat.... I'm scared and tomorrow morning I am going to see a doc.

Any new news on your part Adrianna145?

Yes, that has happened to me as well, but I never stopped using it or bothered to call the doctor. It was, for me, just a tinge of pink but I personally believe that the OTC cures are very strong, maybe too strong, and not necessarily right for everyone. Monistat burns me like crazy when I use it, also. I hate it.

My gyn advises against using them (the OTC kind) and to always call the office for a script. Which I've done ever since.

Let us know what the doc says, it will be good info to share.
