Is it okay to take monistat 3 days a week and a half from breast lift surgery?

Question

I'm prone to get yeast infections around ovulation and period or when I'm super stressed. My surgery is in 10 days and I only take birth control. Would monistat 3 days be fine?

If it is cream, it should be OK, however, I speak with your surgeon.    I recommend an in-office examination as well as a detailed discussion with a surgeon who you are comfortable with.   Finally, make sure your surgeon is a Double-Board Certified Plastic Surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS), a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgery (ASPS) and the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS).Best,Dr. DesaiBeverly Hills Institute for Aesthetic Plastic SurgeryHarvard Educated, Beverly Hills & Miami Beach TrainedDouble Board-Certified Beverly Hills Plastic Surgeon

It should be fine to take Monistat. Advise your plastic surgeon so that he/she is aware. It is best to inform your surgeon of any and all medications that you take.

W. Tracy Hankins, MD · Answer

It should be fine to take Monistat prior to your surgery, although in general, it is beat to check with your surgeon's office about medications within two weeks of surgery as some medications can affect anesthesia or bleeding tendencies.
