Hello,
Treatment for vaginal yeast infection include anti fungal medications like cream, ointment or tablet.
Your doctor will examine your vagina for signs of infection and may collect a sample of vaginal discharge for examination but for uncomplicated infection will probably not.
Frequent symptoms of yeast infection include:
change of vaginal discharge,
itching, burning,
pain during sex.
To reduce risk of vaginal yeast infection try to avoid douching, change wet clothes, wear cotton underwear.
Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
