I had yeast infection also with bladder infection. My doctor did the
same as "Me" did. Antibotic and monistat! He told me the reason you
douch after your period is there may be left over blood that start the
bacteria building back up to start another infection, so monthly
douching washes you out. Then my doctor said to use another tube of
monistat after I was cleaned out to make sure it was completely
gone.WHAT A RELIEF! None since I did this!
