Miconazole

You know, the chronic infections are bacterial vaginosis.

Yeast infections are the ones that most women think of right away, partly because they can treat that by going to the pharmacy, right? They can buy Monistat.

So frequently, if they have BV, they still think, "Oh, it must be yeast," and we frequently over-treat for yeast.

And so not only do women not know what infection they have frequently, but doctors also don't know.

W- Still we're not testing, but what we know is that misdiagnosis rates of vaginal infections, 'cause they tend to resemble each other, even between yeast and bacterial vaginosis kinds of i- illnesses or conditions, women don't always know what they're gonna...

What they have, or is this a classic yeast itch, right? Because now there's multiple kinds of fungus also that don't respond to Monistat, you know.

Standard antifungals that are over the counter.

Standard antifungals, right.

And like I was explaining to you, there's percentages, right? Like, there's that very small golden group that's fine usually, that doesn't usually need help or intervention, and then there's all the rest of us that really do.

[laughs] So I'm actually in that group that needs intervention, and I knew it from the time I was young because when I was young, before I was even sexual, I would constantly have yeast infections.

And this is when you had to go to the doctor and get a prescription, right? It w- was Monistat wasn't over the counter.

And here I am, like 12 years old, just like embarrassed, like I don't even know what I did, and having to talk to some weird pediatrician about it.

Yeah.

And um, the styling of, of Mikey Madison was really funny because there was the sexy hotel outfits, but then also it's very funny when they send her to Puerto Rico and she kind of dresses like she's in a Monistat commercial everywhere she goes.

Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.

It was like when you got your nose pierced.

I'm like, "I don't even use Monistat."

Yeah.

I don't like things up my nose.
