There are two steps - firstly medicate. There are creams available and also pessaries (which is really a big pill you insert into your vagina). There is a new medication out which is an oral pill - but try the pessary first. The creams and pessaries are available over the counter from a pharmacy. Then you need to make changes to stop the candida reoccuring. Things like how you wipe, your underwear and clothes and such. Always wipe front to back. Wear cotton underwear. Don't wear underwear to bed. Avoid tight clothes like jeans. Wash your bath towel every day or every-other-day. Change your sheets regularly. Make sure your sexual partner is not infected and re-infecting you. If it doesn't clear up, see a doctor.

Also avoid any food containing yeast as this contributes to the infection. You will need to check supermarket food labels carefully.

There are a couple of treatments for Candidiasis....Once this is diagnosed by a Physcian (can be oral, known as Thrush, Topical or Genital) Treatment usually involves an Anti-Fungal, Dukes Mixture is used for treatment of Thrush, whereas Monostat and Difulcan are generally used in the treatment of topical and genital. For topical and genital it is important to keep affected areas as clean, cool, and dry as possible. Yeast proliferates in warm and moist areas.

I found garlic to be the best, fasting can be good (I like the lemonade fast). Psyillium seed husk as well are a good supplement.
