Detailed Answer:
Hello and I hope I can help you today.

I am assuming you are asking about treatments for yeast infection.

Yeast (Candida) infections of the vagina and vulva are common causes of vaginal itching, redness and discharge. You should be familiar with the symptoms and sure of your diagnosis otherwise I would recommend a GYN doctors evaluation before attempting to treat yourself.

Yeast is a kind of fungal infection and it treated with creams, suppositories or similar products placed in the vagina. All of these products should contain an antifungal medicine- the names of the medicine in the ingredients should end with -azole. Clotrimazole, Miconazole, and Terconazole are some examples. A pill of a medication called Fluconazole is also sold over the counter in some countries as a one dose pill of 150 mg. All these treatments will usually cure symptoms of a yeast infection within 7 days of treatment.

If I misunderstood your question, or if you need any clarification, please do not hesitate to contact me further.

I appreciate your use of Healthcaremagic.com and I hope I was able to answer your question and that this information was helpful.

Best wishes, Dr. Brown
