Suggest Treatment For Yeast Infection At The Penis
I had yeast infection at Penis I used fluconazole and antibiotic and applied coconut oil. But it reoccur now. But doctor preferred me B complex forte with vitamin c and antibiotic. Yet I didn t used antibiotic, but by clotrimazole cream symptoms reduced. What should I do to cured permanent and should take anti fungal medicine or not?
You should take anti fungal medicine for prescribed duration. Clotrimazole cream will reduce the symptoms. The medications should not be stopped if the symptoms reduce. It has to be taken for prescribed duration so that reinfection does not occur. If the infection is severe, you need to take oral fluconazole usually once a week for a month. Apart from medications, maintenance of strict hygiene near the affected area is ver important. Fungus thrive in humid conditions. Try to keep the area clean, dry most of the times. Hope the above information helps you. Thanks for writing into healthcaremagic.
