Hello.

Thanks for writing to us.

Yes, you can use monist to cure rectal yeast infection.

Usually it happens after a course of antibiotics.

Other than this, you can have probiotics, yoghurt and garlic for an earlier relief.

If the symptoms do not subside in a week, then other oral antifungal agents might be needed to be prescribed by your gynaecologist.

If still there is no relief then other causes of rectal itching need to be ruled out.

I hope my answer and recommendations are adequate and helpful. Waiting for your further follow up queries if any.

Wishing you good health.

Regards.

Hello.

Thanks for writing again.

It is unlikely to have a rectal yeast infection after hemorrhoids when you have been doing sitz bath with ebson salt.

Usually it is seen after taking a course of antibiotics.

The itching you are having might be due to the dryness of skin due to warm sitz bath or the healing haemorrhoids might also cause itching.

You need to reconsider your diagnosis.

If it is due to healing haemorrhoids then a local steriod (cortisone) based antiseptic cream will be more helpful.

You can apply vaseline to overcome the dryness.

Hope I have answered your query.

Wishing you an early recovery.

Regards,
