Yeast Infection Treatment

Drugs which kill yeast are used VAGINAL YEAST INFECTION TREATMENT. There are three ways these yeast treatments are given: Creams rubbed around inside the vagina. Pessaries inserted high up into the vagina where they dissolve and kill the fungus. Tablets which are swallowed and kill the fungus from the inside out.

Courses of yeast infection treatment are short, typically 3 to six days as Candida is not virulent and easily killed.

In a few women - 5 to 10 of every hundred with an episode of yeast infection - there are repeated attacks. These individuals may benefit from longer courses, up to six months, of fungicide tablets by mouth. In addition pantihose and tight jeans or any other clothing which reduces air drying of the vagina are to be avoided, and after defecation the bottom should be wiped from front to back to avoid seeding your vagina with Candida from stool.

Eating half a cup of yogurt with LIVE yogurt cultures in it has been found to help treat yeast infections. And double rinsing your underwear and using an iron to touch up panties before wearing also works in yeast infection treatment.
