Why does monistat lose effectiveness over time for individuals with chronic or recurrent vaginosis or yeast infections?

The vagina has a normal pH which is the acid-base balance that gives the environment that the normal vaginal flora can exist and survive. This normal flora is composed of bacteria and yeast. Essentially they eat each other and keep the proper balance in the vagina.

For vaginal yeast infections in America they have vaginal inserts that can kill these infections. If unable to do this try using a tampon that has been soaked in real Greek yogurt inserted daily for three days. Using this approach daily for 3 days can help if nothing else is available.

If you take various acidic foods eventually your body will develop a vaginal pH lower then 4.5 and you develop a vaginal yeast infection. This is noted by a vicious itching, and a thick white discharge; with a thick white stain on you panties.

However I am assuming you are asking about a yeast infection in the vagina. Again without a medical history and proper medical examination there is not much I can tell you personally.

In the more sophisticated drug stores you should be able to find a gel that returns the vagina to it’s natural pH. In America one such gel is called “Rephresh.”

In my practice this is a common female complaint so I will explain why women get this, and how to avoid it in the future.

Monistat is a medicine for a yeast infection of the vagina. There are three types. The one day, 3day, and 7 day type. From what I’ve heard the one day does not really work. The 3 day does as does the seven day does too, but takes longer to function.

This pH is 4.5–5.5 here is where all is normal and neither will overcome the other. Pick up that pH by opening your vagina in a bath and water with soap enters. The pH of water is 7.0, and the soap is generally alkaline raising the pH well above 5.5 and causing recurrent bacterial infections known as BV or bacterial vaginosis. This usually has a watery, moist whiteish discharge that may be accompanied by a fishy odor, this is caused by an trichamonis infection and can be treated with and some slight itching, as well as a constant stain on your panties.
