Yeast infections are treated and cured with anti-fungal medication. Monistat cream is available over the counter or you can get a prescription for Fluconazole (brand name: Diflucan). All you have to do is visit your doctor and get a prescription for some medication.
You could also get some yogurt from the store. Yogurt can help balance the "good" bacteria and the "bad" bacteria in the vagina because it contains live culture in it.
Yeast infections are VERY common! And, they are not always caused by sex. Taking antibiotics can cause yeast infections and is one of the main causes for yeast infections.
Good luck!

A yeast infection is VERY common and VERY curable. Vaginal yeast infection (yeast vaginitis) 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 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.

Yes, vaginal yeast infections are very common. You can get over the counter anti-fungal medication. They make many different kinds.
It is also helpful to try and keep the area clean and dry. Wear cotton panties and try to wear panties as less as possible. Yeast grows in a warm, dry climate. Just think of the layers of clothing we have there. I always sleep without any thing under my gown. Also eating a serving of yogurt everyday helps to prevent getting it again.
You can also get a prescription medication, diflucan from your doctor. It is a pill you take and clears it up pretty quickly.
Hope this helped.

Hello, I'm on the second week and seeing definite improvement on my yeast infection symptoms:

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
