Yeast vaginitis is an infection of the vagina caused by a fungus called Candida. Candida is normally present in small amounts and may not cause problems for some women. However, yeast vaginitis does present a problem when symptoms include:
•    Itching in the vagina and or vulva
•    Burning
•    Soreness
•    Pain during intercourse and or urination
•    Vaginal discharge
Women with the above symptoms should be treated immediately and consult with a doctor before any treatment. Some treatments can be done at home with over-the-counter or prescription medication and can clear within a week. However, if another unrelated symptom is present, you should consult with your doctor since it may be an indication that some other disease has weakened your immune system.
Here are some solutions to getting rid of your yeast infection:
•    Some over-the-counter medications can be used to treat vaginal yeast infections. Remedies such as Miconazole (Monistat-Derm, Monistat Vaginal), Tioconazole (Vagistat Vaginal), Butoconazole (Femstat) and Clotrimazole (Femizole-7, Gyne-Lotrimin), all of which can be massaged into your vagina and surrounding tissues for 1-7 days, depending on the instructions. If there is some irritation to the area, discontinue immediately and consult your doctor.
•    Other than creams, other vaginal yeast infection treatments include lotions, pills, troches (lozenges), and vaginal suppositories. Azole medications are a family of anti-fungal drugs that blocks estrogen production, a crucial material of the yeast cell wall. Preventing estrogen levels actually helps the yeast cell wall become leaky and the yeast dies.
•    If you get yeast infections often, then you may want to buy Diflucan. This prescription drug is available online and is effective at treating yeast infections FOREVER.
•    Treating thrush and other superficial candidal infections, are treated with polynene antifugrals include nystatin and amphotericin B. Doctors reserve the amphotericin for more serious systemic fungal infections
With proper treatment, most candidal infections disappear without further problems. Yeast infections and thrush generally clear in 1-2 weeks; however, for those with weaker immune systems, if infections re-occur it may be harder to treat. If you fall under this category, then you may be a perfect candidate for Diflucan.
