Jill’s Yeast Solution

A Yeast Infection Story By Jill

About

A little blog setup to discuss my story of yeast infections, yeast/candida problems, etc.

The over-the-counter topical products are an option for some people when yeast is the cause of the infection. However, one should note that infection other than yeast can cause very similar symptoms. These include bacterial vaginosis, chlamydia, and gonorrhea. If symptoms are not eliminated by over-the-counter products, patients should see their doctor/medical practicioner for evaluation.

Antifungal medications that are also available as vaginal tablets include:

clotrimazole (Lotrimin, Mycelex),

miconazole (Monistat; Micatin),

terconazole (Terazol), and

nystatin (Mycostatin)

Oral medications for yeast vaginitis and vulvitis include fluconazole (Diflucan).

Most MDs prefer to treat vaginal yeast infections with vaginal tablets or suppositories rather than oral meds. Oral antifungal medication can cause some not so fun 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.
