Does Monistat 7-day work as a topical treatment for males?

If so, how long should it be applied and how often?

If not, what other treatment(s) works?

Thanks a lot.
Sorry, not THRUSH. Just the Penile Infection.

Typically a yeast infection is treated with Flucanozole or something similar (it is an oral med) in men… The cream probably will not work…

My mum has just been put on some yeast free diet, and she was asking me to find out if she could still drink white wine. anyone have any answers?

Wine is filtered to remove the yeast but she should check with whoever put her on that diet to be sure.

I have took a pregnancy test 3 weeks ago. but it also followed with yeast infection so could it give me a false positive?

there is no such thing as false positive its either negative or positive and no a yeast infection will not do that

My dog has a yeast infection in his ear. We’ve tried everything to help the little guy but nothing seems to work. We’ve taking him to several vets and he’s had several antibiotics but they only seem to make it worse. Do you know of any home remedies that are safe and effective for curing this yeast infection in his ear? By the way, he won’t eat yogurt, tried that already.

Some dogs with chronic yeast infections in the ear require systemic anti fungal medications. Usually an external ear canal infection is treated topically but if his is not resolving with just tropicals ask your doctor about oral anti fungals. Also some dogs with chronic ear infections or yeast infections of the skin should have there thyroid level checked. Chronic ear and skin infections can be an indication of hypothyroidism. Food allergy’s can also exacerbate ear and skin yeast infections. If your vet is not covering all the bases maybe you should seek advise from another one.
ADDITIONAL: Yeast in the ear of a dog is malasseziapachydermatitis, vaginal yeast infections are caused by candida albicans. They are similar oragnisims but not the same.

my 2 month old niece had a yeat infection in her mouth a while back what causes this? and can adults get them?

A yeast infection in the mouth is called thrush. It is pretty common in babies-seems more so with those breast fed (but this is NOT a reason to stop breastfeeding!). Everyone has "normal flora" it is the bacteria and yeast that live on and in all of us–skin, mouth, nose, vagina etc. When one organism overgrows the others you have an infection. Babies who are breast fed likely pick up the yeast from the mothers breast (their normal flora) and since they don’t have a lot of bacteria yet to keep things in check, they yeast overgrows. Adults can get thrush usually those who are immune challenged such as HIV/AIDS patients, diabetics get it because they have a lower immune system and because yeast loves sugar-which diabetics spill more of. If you take steroids like prednisone or inhaled steroids for asthma you are prone to having it too-that is why they recommend washing your mouth out after using inhalers.

Is there any kind of pills for yeast infections, because i have one and i have tried to you the cream and pill aplicators. But i just can’t do it. Im 16 and im scared to put it up there. so is there any oral medicines or pill for yeast infections? if so please tell me.

There is but you have to get it from a doctor. They will want to check you first to make sure it isn’t a bacterial infection. They have the same symptoms.

i think i have one between my butt cheeks.what is the treatment

Anywhere moisture and warmth are present, a yeast infection can develop. You should ask a pharmacist for medication advised, but since you’re not likely to do that, miconazol, clotrimazole, or any anti-fungal cream/ointment should take care of it. Good luck.


Agree with starting over. Both are signs that your body is tired and is not fighting off bacteria.
Watch your diet, increase fluids and keep in mind that if you take antibiotics, it can cause a yeast infection as well.

I took my dog to the vets last week (he is a 1 year old pug if this helps), as he was suffering with his skin. The vet originally thought he had a bacterial skin infection and treated with a weeks worth of antibiotics. The symptoms did not improve, so I returned to the vets again today. The vet decided to do a skin scraping which tested for mites, yeast infections and tapeworm. The results came back showing the dog has demodex mites with a secondary yeast infection.

The vet has given me a course of antibiotics to clear the yeast infection, 2 types of ear treatments to cure a yeast outbreak in the ear, and 3 months worth of mite treatments, which he is confident will clear his symptoms.

The dog suffers badly with itching and has caused patches in his fur through obsessvie licking.

Does anyone know the possible cause of this and suggest any ways in which I can help him/prevent them from returning or offer me any advice? Thank you

Demodex mites generally live without any problems on dogs throughout their lives. They acquire the mites from their mothers as a pup. But like the first answer stated, an underlying immune disorder can start to cause problems for the dog. Normally once a dog is cured of the infection it will not get reinfected. But a dog with an underlying immune disorder will be very hard to cure. Perhaps once you clear up the yeast infection then it will be much easier to permanently rid him of the demodex infection.

I’ve heard wiping the inside of their ear with diluted white vinegar can rid a pup’s yeast infection. How diluted? And do you do this daily until it’s cleared up? I’ve had dogs in the past that have had yeast infections in their ears, and know the symptoms well. I’ve never tried this home remedy but it sounds much better than medications and ear drops with who knows what in them. Anybody try this and did it work?
I have no problem taking her to the vet, I was just asking if anyone has heard of this and if it worked. My dogs are fed homemade food and I prefer to keep them on homeopathic/home remedies.
Thank you, Ruth for answering my question. ;-)

I have been using this method for years! If his ears are extremely inflammed and have strong odor already, he probably does need an antibiotic ear flush @ the Vet. If not, you can use and eye dropper and put 3-4 drops each into the canal, fold the ear down, and massgae foe about 30 seconds. Then use an ear cleaner with NO alchohol and throroughly clean his ears. (I use Ark Naturals Ears All Right) For preventative measures, put 3-4 drop (dependning on how large he is) in each ear bi-weekly. This neautralizes the yeast and prevents buildup. I have a Sibe who is allergice to whest gluten, and he used to get infections into the canal. Ever since I started with the vinegar (4 years ago) he hasn’t had a single infection!!! You could try using
ADDED: I would highly suggest getting him onto a wheat free diet (low gluten as well), as wheat is the #1 culprit for causing yeast infections. I rotate my dogs between Innova and Merrick along with Raw additives and probiotics.
