Yeast Infection Suppository Okay After Hysterectomy?
A MyEndometriosisTeam Member asked a question 💭

UPDATE: My dr contacted me back and said I’m ok to use a regular cream for yeast infection. Others may get a different answer.

I had a hysterectomy/excision surgery 2.5 weeks ago and I'm 99% sure I have a yeast infection.

Maybe that's why? Either way, sorry if you don't like the cream!

Since I live near Detroit, MI, Canada is like an hour or hour and half and I used to go there and buy my daughter's formula (when she was a baby obviously) bc the cost of that was insanely cheaper! I found that out by accident when we were there for a day and ran out.
