(I've also had an yeast infection before but that was years ago) after i finish the treatment completely and if i still see the discharge what should i do??

Hello candy123,
Welcome again to EmpowHER. Thank you for reaching out to our community with your questions.
I must redirect you to your physician, who prescribed this treatment plan.
I suggest you continue with applying the gel for the full seven days as directed. If you continue to see the discharge on day 8, reach out to your physician's office. I could not find any information on how long it takes for the discharge to disappear.
Does your physician know that you are taking oral contraceptives? Generally, medications that suppress the immune system.
Regards,
