Hi,
Thanks for the query. I understand your concern.
Yeast infection is a fungal infection of genitals. Most of the times local anti fungal ointments/ vaginal pessaries can manage such infection in early stages. But as the infection goes on over long time ...
- Need of oral anti fungal medicines is needed... that too medication taken by both sex partners at a same time for the length of period as suggested by treating doctor is advisable/ avoiding sex till cure is mandatory.
- Genital hygiene
& cleanliness of undergarments is of utmost importance.
-Preventive , prolonged use of vaginal pessaries helps in total irradiation of the infection.
-Treatment of HIV with specific drugs & antioxidants should be continued under expert guidance.
Thanks.
