Yeast Infection Treatment

[Guest guest]

A yeast infection can become a very uncomfortable sensation for most people.

This type of infection is very common, affecting nearly seventy-five percent of

the female population. This infection is caused by a type of yeast-like fungus

called Candida, which is naturally present in our bodies in small quantities.

Its numbers are carefully regulated by bacteria in our bodies. If this bacterial

balance is disrupted, the yeast could be allowed to grow uncontrollably, causing

an infection.

Most yeast infections can be treated at home with over-the-counter or

prescription medication and can clear up in less than a week. This is assuming

that your immune system has not been compromised by another form of disease,

such as HIV or Lyme disease. Treatment can come in cream, pill, or vaginal

suppository form. You should consult your physician first to find which form of

treatment is right for you.

If you have a weak immune system, your doctor may treat minimal infections with

homecare, but if the infection becomes serious, you may need IV medication given

at the hospital.

There are many forms of antifungal creams available for purchase. These products

should be massaged into the vaginal area and surrounding tissue for one to seven

days, depending on the product. You should consult with a doctor first before

beginning any form of treatment.

You should also be careful when using any form of antifungal cream. There have

been a number of cases in which these medications have shown little or no effect

on yeast infections. This is because the yeast has grown a resistance to the

medication. This occurs when the medication is overused, which is why it is

important to only use this product when you have been positively diagnosed with

yeast infection. If you are suffering from your first yeast infection, you

should consult a doctor in order to accurately diagnose the situation.
