For most yeast infections you can get over the counter medication from your local pharmacy (rite aid, walgreens, target etc). You can choose to get it in the form of pills, or cream that you have to apply vaginally for a week. If you see a doctor, you can get a prescription pill that only requires you to take it once (e.g. fluconazole). However, if you have a resistant strain (if otc medication doesnt help) you need to get stronger prescription cream, such as terconazole.
Call you OB and ask which yeast infection medications they recommend, as far as I know you can use all of the over the counter cream type medicines to clear up the yeast infection ~pawsalmighty ps.. avoid sex until the infection is cleared or you will get it back again.
If you are sure that you have a yeast infection then you can go to your local drug store and get monistat 7 day treatment don't use the 1 or 3 day treatments because you are pregnant the infection may take longer to go away if you are not sure that you have a yeast infection call your doctors office and ask them what you should do your doctor should at least have time to talk to you on the phone hope this helps Good Luck and God Bless!! The pharmacist should know what you can use if you are sure it is a yeast infection. Putting live yogurt in your vaginal area helps too.

why do you have a yeast infection?
Hydrocortisone will not treat a yeast infection, and can make it worse.
Yeast infection = Candidiasis (Filipinos also use the English term).
If you think that you have a yeast infection it's best to go to your doctor to confirm - especially if sexually active in case it is something more serious. You can use an over-the-counter yeast infection treatment once you know that it is a yeast infection.
it's a yeast infection. ask your doctor to recommend a safe product to use that won't affect the pregnancy. do not take any oral medications for yeast infections if you are pregnant unless your doctor prescribes them.
The medication clyndamiacin may be prescribed for a yeast infection, however prolonged use may lead to a yeast infection. This medication can be prescribed both vaginally and orally. Vaginal prescriptions are used for bacterial vaginosis.
You should only take medicines with the advice of a doctor if you are pregnant.
Yes, you can use yeast infection cream while using NuvaRing. There's no need to remove the ring for treatment.
You definitely need a bath during yeast infection otherwise it turn for the worst, you need to clean your vaginal area properly to clean out the discharge and perhaps the cream (if you use any) so as to make way for fresh application. What you can avoid are very perfumed soaps/shower gels for they are also known to cause yeast infection in some women.
Candida albicans, the bacteria that causes a yeast infection is present in everyone, both men and women, even if they are perfectly healthy. The problem arises when the Candida has an overgrowth, which leads to a yeast infection. It is definitely possible for men to get a yeast infection and then pass it onto you. The penis is vulnerable a yeast infection, though chances are significantly lower than that of a woman's. It is possible that the man did not sleep with anyone else as sexual intercourse is only one of the many other possible causes of yeast infection in men. The man may have a weakened immune system, or took antibiotics that killed the good bacteria that are needed to keep the yeast infection from manifesting. Penile yeast infection can also happen with the use of condoms that contain nonxynol-9, so check the label to see if the chemical is present. Simply put, the man may have contracted the yeast infection without sexual intercourse. It may very well be the other causes. To add onto the facts, 75% of women will get a yeast infection at least once in their lifetime, so it may be possible that you have contracted it on your own without the man playing any part in it.
The test determined that she had a yeast infection. After you have prepared the basic ingredients add the yeast suspension to the dough and knead.
