Help- first yeast infection?

So I think I have my first yeast infection... i researched the symptoms and they match!

What is the easiest quickest way to cure this? Whats the best way?



I just finished having my period (TMI, im sorry) and this appeared the last day, is it from tampons? Does anyone else get this after their period?

Re: Help- first yeast infection?

Iused to get them right before my period, then once I got my period it cleared up.

Go buy Monistat..they have a one day and a 3 day treatment (I think the 3 day is better). THere is also an anti itch cream that comes with it. Helps with the intching and burning if you have any.

Hope it clears up for you soon!

Re: Help- first yeast infection?

call your doctor. there is a pill called diflucan he can give you - it's ONE pill and the symptoms will go away within 2-3 days.

i get them when i take Z-pac...so now my doc always prescribes me the yeast pill whenever he gives me zpac...unfortunately, it's the only thing that knocks out my bronchitis....when i get it!

I'd call your doctor. I had what I thought was a yeast infection a few years ago..self treated it and it got worse! Ended up being a bacterial infection which has some very similar symptoms. Feel better
