Hi,
Welcome To HCM & Thanks For Asking Your Query Here

Burning around your vagina and rectum might be related to yeast infection but it may be caused by many other reasons including bacterial and viral infections , an STD etc
have you got examined by a gynecologist or you have self diagnosed Yourself for a yeast infection , because After a UTI there are high chances of Developing bacterial Vaginosis (BV) , which needs further treatment
using monistat in improper way may also cause dry and irritating skin around genitals

self diagnosis and treatment won't work and strongly not recommended and
I would strongly suggest you to see Your Gynecologist , she will examine you thoroughly and may go for vaginal swab culture to determine the exact cause of infection

I hope it help
Thanks & Get well Soon
