Note that: If the yeast infection doesn't respond to over the counter treatment, prescription medication will likely be necessary. Similarly, if the symptoms return after two months of being treated, you should contact the doctor for professional treatment rather than resorting again to home treatment.

If this is the first time you have experienced a yeast infection, you should schedule an appointment to have the condition treated by a doctor instead of resorting to home treatment

Answer 4

yeast occurs naturally in the vagina, it plays a role. The so called infection, is just an over growth, usually caused by changing the pH balance in the vagina. Antibiotic therapy, tub baths, using a hot tub, eating too many high acid foods can all cause an over growth of yeast in the vagina which becomes uncomfortable. There are many products in your local drugstore that will curb the yeast and bring your vaginal pH back into balance, like Monistat, Vagisil, and many others, take your pick. Eating yogurt regularly will assist in preventing future yeast infections.

Answer 5

Changing your diet, cutting out Bread, mushrooms, chocolate, cutting back on dairy foods too and anything containing Yeast can help too! Don't drink wine either.. I often go down with yeast infections after drinking that. Other than that do as these other guys say.. See either your doctor who will prescribe something like Canesten or get an over the counter remedy.

Answer 6

Vaginal yeast infection (yeast vaginitis) and vulvitis cause symptoms that are nonspecific, which means that aside from the yeast infection, other conditions can cause the identical symptoms. The most common symptom of a vaginal yeast infection is itching in the vaginal and/or vulvar area. Other symptoms of vaginal yeast infection and vulvitis include:

burning,
soreness,
pain during intercourse and/or urination, and
vaginal discharge. Vaginal discharge is not always present, but when it occurs, the discharge is odorless and typically has a whitish, thick appearance and texture, like cottage cheese.

Vulvitis can also cause local pain in addition ot the above symptoms. Pain in the vulvar area is referred to as vulvodynia.

In up to 5% of women, yeast vulvovaginitis may cause a recurrent problem. A recurrent yeast infection occurs when a woman has four or more infections in one year that are not related to antibiotic use. Recurrent yeast infections may be related to an underlying medical condition and may require more aggressive treatment.


How are vaginal yeast infections and vulvitis diagnosed?
Vaginal yeast infection (yeast vaginitis) is suggested when a cheesy white discharge is noted over the walls of the vagina, but the symptoms of vaginal yeast infection are nonspecific and may be a result of other conditions. To firmly establish the diagnosis and to rule out any other causes of the symptoms, your doctor may take a specimen scraped from the affected area for microscopic analysis or for culture in the laboratory. Identification of yeast under a microscope, when possible, is the least expensive and most rapid and accurate way to establish the diagnosis.

Vaginal yeast infection (yeast vaginitis) and vulvitis may be treated with antifungal medications that are applied topically in and around the vagina or with antifungal medications taken by mouth. Sometimes, mixed infections with more than one microbe can require combinations of treatments. Topically applied antifungal creams include butoconazole (Femstat 3), clotrimazole (Lotrimin), miconazole (Monistat), and terconazole (Terazol 3). The over-the-counter topical treatments are an option for some women when yeast is the cause of the infection. However, it should be noted that infection other than yeast can cause similar symptoms. These include bacterial vaginosis, Chlamydia, and gonorrhea. If symptoms are not eliminated by over-the-counter products, patients should see their doctor for evaluation. Clotrimazole (Lotrimin, Mycelex), miconazole (Monistat; Micatin), terconazole (Terazol), and nystatin (Mycostatin) are other antifungal medications that are also available as vaginal tablets.

Oral medications for yeast vaginitis and vulvitis include fluconazole (Diflucan). Most doctors prefer to treat vaginal yeast infections with vaginal tablets or suppositories rather than oral medications. Oral antifungal medication can cause side effects such as headache, nausea, and abdominal pain , while vaginal treatment is unlikely to cause these side effects. Oral antifungal medications are also not recommended for use during pregnancy.

Answer 7

Yes, there are OTC as well as Rx antifungals available. That white discharge is the overgrowth of the yeast.

Answer 8

Over the counter products messy. Call doctor, they might prescribe Diflucan, i 1pill 1 day works wonders. Don't know what causes the discharge.
