Q: is it safe to have sex when you've discovered that you have a yeast infection? Would having a yeast infection affect your spouse during sexual intercourse?

Asked by: Anonymous

A: The question you have asked is one that should be addressed by your doctor. He/she knows your health circumstances and history, and can best advise you in this matter. If you are using Monistat, We recommend that you avoid vaginal intercourse to allow the vagina to heal. This product may damage condoms and diaphragms and may cause them to fail. Therefore, you should wait three days after treatment to resume using condoms or your diaphragm. The word “treatment” in this instance refers to when you finished taking your last dose of the product.
