<human>: I think I have a yeast infection. I ve had them before, but usually when I am taking antibiotics. I have not taken antibiotics recently but the symptoms are the same. My gynecologist has an appointment available Wednesday. But I m in the midst of a 7 day treatment cycle with monistat (tonight is night 3). So I am not sure if I should cancel this appointment? It s my well woman exam, but can I even have a pap smear while I m getting treatment for a yeast infection?
<bot>: Hello, Here are some best working guidelines to handle yeast infection:- Chat Doctor. -Get prescription of antibiotic (as penicillin group or others), antifungal medications from your doctor for best recovery.-Avoid vaginal sex if active.-Maintain hygiene at its best.-Discuss need of vaginal swab test with your doctor. You can have Pap smear while getting treatment of the same. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
