Vaginal Yeast Infections
Many effective medications for yeast infections are readily available over the counter. These typically come in the form of anti-fungal creams, suppositories, or ointments, which are applied directly to the affected area. These topical medications usually need to be applied for up to seven days to completely clear up the infection and prevent its recurrence.
Symptoms of a Vaginal Yeast Infection
Yeast infection symptoms can range from mild to moderate in their severity. If you’re experiencing a vaginal yeast infection, you may notice itching and discomfort of the vagina or vulva, which can be quite bothersome. Another common symptom is pain or a burning sensation, especially while urinating or during sexual activity, indicating irritation in the affected areas.
Additionally, the vulva might appear red and swollen, and you might observe a vaginal rash. A characteristic sign of a vaginal yeast infection is a distinct discharge that is typically thick, white, and odorless, often described as having an appearance similar to cottage cheese.
Vaginal Yeast Infections Treatment
At HomeTown Urgent Care clinics, the medical provider attending to you will begin by asking several questions to gain a thorough understanding of your current symptoms and your complete medical history. Following this discussion, a full medical exam will be conducted to check your general health and accurately diagnose your condition, ensuring that the prescribed treatment is appropriate and effective for your specific case.
Another common and often convenient yeast infection treatment is fluconazole, which comes in a pill form. This is a prescription-only medication, and sometimes just a single oral dose is all that is needed to effectively fight the infection, offering a quick and straightforward solution for many women.
