question: ive had a yeast infection for 12 days. i tryd monistat 1 and cause major pain and didnt work. then i went to the gyn and she gave me Fluconazole which seems to not be really working. This is my 1st infection and the only thing ive been doing different is im on a high protein diet and i take oxyelite pro. could this be the cause of the infection? Also i am expected to start my monthly cycle next week could that be a reason for it taking too long to clear?
