Suggest Treatment For Severe Yeast Infection
Hi. How are you? I am 27 years old and this is my first yeast infection. Needless to say it was one of the most scariest experiences of my life. I purchase the Candid B V gel today and I began using it. My questions therefore are 1. How effective is it 2. Can stress have caused my yeast infection 3. How long does a yeast infection usually last? I eagerly await your response. Thank you

Hi,
Usually yeast infection spreads through sexual intercourse & also stress plays a major role. Women who tend to take poor diet, compromised immune system leading to diseases like diabetes and HIV infection, sleep deprived, illness etc are at high risk.
I would advice you to:
1. Maintain good hygiene and wash your vagina with soap warm water regularly
2. Avoid feminine products
3. Use soft cotton undergarments
4. Candid B V gel as you are already using, continue the same. It's very effective for yeast infection & will be cured in 7 - 14 days.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Yogapriya Vasudevan, General & Family Physician
