Yeast Infection Medical
Treatments
Yeast
infections can be medically treated with a wide range of
options. Some options that a doctor would prescribe a
patient with this infection would be lotions, creams, vaginal
suppositories and pills. Treatments come in many
different forms, but are often used orally through an
antibiotic of some sort.
The most common used drug to treat yeast
infections is in the antifungal family. Drugs like, azole,
nystatin and amphotercin are good medications used to treat the
infection. These medications do their job by forming holes in
the yeast wall to kill the bacteria.
If not treated properly the infection can come
back or never fully go away. That is why proper treatment is
so important and needs to be applied as prescribed. Most yeast
infections can be clear within 2 weeks. The women that are
prone to diseases in general have a hard time getting the infection
to die. These women normally have a low immune system and the
infection tends to come back.
There are vaginal and oral
treatments. Monistat vaginal therapy treatment is an over the
counter treatment that is inserted in the vagina. It can
alleviate the pain you are experiencing.
If you get a vaginal yeast infection often (such
as once a month or 3 times in 6 months) you should talk to your
doctor. Even if the treatment seems to be working, continue to
use it for the full time. Anti-fungal medications are used to
treat and cure yeast infections. Some of the following are
anti-fungal treatments, which include Butoconazole, Nizoral,
Diflucan, Monista, Terazol, Gyne-Lotrimi, Clotrimazole also known
as Mycelex-7, Nystatint, Sporanox, Vagistat, Yeast No More,
Tioconazole and Vitaklenz.
Oral treatments can only be prescribed by a
doctor. Relieve most symptoms rapidly. This treatment can
take up to 24 hours before feeling complete relief.
These treatments can be used 1 to 2 times a day
for up to 7 days and can help the symptoms within 3 to 4
days. Before using any of these treatments consult your
doctor, so he/she can advise you the best treatment to use for
you.
If you are nursing a baby or a female under the
age of 12 or pregnant or have never had a yeast infection before,
it is imperative that you see a doctor before taking any
medication. All medications should be kept away from children
and are only for vaginal use. Please do not insert in the
mouth or eyes.
Consult your doctor immediately if you
experience symptoms such as, fever, very foul smell in discharge,
shoulder pain, back pain and lower abdomen pain after taking these
medications.
