yeast infections are very much curable . most vaginal yeast infections can be treated with an over-the-counter vaginal cream or suppository. Vaginal creams are typically placed inside the vagina with an applicator to kill off the yeast that causes infections. these antifungal creams usually come with an applicator . common examples include Mycelex(clotrimazole) , Femstat( butoconazole) , monistat (mucanozole nitrate). in a dose of three to five days. Some of the same medications (such as clotrimazole and miconazole) are manufactured in vaginal tablets or suppositories to treat yeast infections. You insert these into the vagina and let them dissolve
avoid using any fragrant body washes or any harsh soaps and intercourse during treatment course .Be sure you actually do have a yeast infection before you start treatment.
