Suggest Treatment For Yeast Infection

Hi I am 1week into my antibiotics 1 week left to go. I am just starting to have symptoms of a yeast infection. Want to take something to make sure does not get any worse. I am also eating lots of yogurt to help. I don't want to take the 1 day pill to many side affects.

Hi,

Usually yeast infection spreads through sexual intercourse and stress. Intake of poor diet, compromised immune system, sleep deprivation, etc., play a major role. I would advise you to:
1. Maintain good hygiene and wash your vagina with soap warm water regularly
2. Avoid feminine products
3. Use soft cotton undergarments
4. Candid B V gel is very effective for yeast infection and will be cured in 7 - 14 days

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Yogapriya Vasudevan, General & Family Physician
