There are many medications over the counter that can cure yeast infection such as: diflucan/fluconazole, gyno pevaryl, gyno daktarin and more. But if you are prone to have recurrent yeast infections then it is best to see a doctor for better advice.

First, make sure it is a yeast infection. You can pick up kits to test for common infections. If it is an over production of yeast, an OTC remedy should take care of it (ask a pharmacist if you need assistance). Once it's gone, it's all in maintaining the proper bacteria/yeast ratio.

The most common cause of imbalances is the misconception that women must use douches. Plain water works just fine, and doesn't upset the natural balance. Get a shower head on a hose, and forget the chemicals. This is advice given by a femaleob/gyn, and I've seen it be truthful for over 30 years.

Yeast infections are caused by an overgrowth of Candida, which is a fungus that is normally found on the skin in small amounts. They can be treated with over the counter creams or pills. If the infection does not clear up with over the counter remedies, a doctor may need to prescribe a stronger, prescription medication.

If one has a yeast infection then it is popularly considered worthwhile eating plain live yogurt. This is supposed to help. It is also worth going to the pharmacist to get a treatment from them.

i had yeast infection before, it troubled me so much, i tried some home remedies, but without any help, things i tried:

1. Yogurt

2. Coconut Oil

3. Apple Cider Vinegar

4. Garlic

5. Cranberries

6. Boric Acid

that's the drug resistance of antibiotics, you may try an alternative treatment-chinese herb medicine, it is called fu yan pill, i tried it and was cured totally from origin.

also you need to do good preventions, or you will get the infection again in the future.

don't douch too often with medical liquid, pay attention to personal hygiene are necessary.
