I have a slight yeast infection and took Diflucan, I get my period in 6 days, can I use a tampon? Last month I got my first yeast infection right before my period and I used a pad the whole time while using monistat. But this time I have a full 6 days before my period and I took a pill, shouldn’t i be okay to use a tampon? Thanks.
Can I use a tampon 6 days after taking Diflucan?

if you really want to get rid of yeast infection forever then you must follow these tips:
1) Eat yogurt!!!! It contains helpful bacteria (live cultures, including acidophilus and bifidus) that destroy yeast. Use only plain yogurt with active cultures.
2) Douche with a solution of 1 to 3 tbsp. vinegar in a quart of water. Repeat once a day while having symptoms, but no longer than a week.
3) Decrease or eliminate sugar and sugary foods. Sugar promotes yeast growth.
4) Use a garlic clove as a suppository. Garlic contains a natural anti-fungal agent.
5) Try gentian violet. It’s a traditional remedy for yeast and other infections, and can be found in pharmacies. Swab the area with it once or twice a day. Make sure to use a thick pad – it stains everything.
6) Use an herbal douche. Combine equal amounts of sage, raspberry and comfrey with 1/4 part goldenseal. This can be combined with cider vinegar.
7) You must use herbal treatment. In that case Yeastrol is really good (probably the best) product that gets rid of yeast infection comparatively fast and makes you feel more confident knowing that it wont reappear again!
And of course it is better if you use full course (5 months – if I remember correctly). For me it worked very fast + I dont get yeast infections anymore…
I do not know if any pharmacies carry Yeastrol but I do know that you should purchase it directly from the manufacturer and read more about the product here http://www.yeastrol.com/?aid=221781
good luck!

If it’s an internal yeast infection, I wouldn’t use tampons. That might aggravate the infection and make it worse. Best to just use pads until it’s all cleared up.
You should probably be okay. I usually use pads just to be safe.
If I were you, I would use the pads this time, too.
Well I know the reason you’re not supposed to with monistat is because it can soak up the medication but since diffucan is a pill it might not be an issue. Plus too, it’s 6 days after so it should be fine anyway!
