Yeast Infection - Springfield, OH

Oh boy do I undertand the strains of not being able to pay the Dr bills :( I would call my OB/GYN and talk to his/her nurse. Tell them what is going on and that you don't have the money for a Dr visit. My OB/GYN would just call in a RX for me. Hope that helps

I've always had success with otc treatments. However, if this is your first yeast infection you should consult a doctor to confirm - if you've had them before then go ahead and treat it as you have in the past. Keep using the cream that comes with them for several days after your symptoms clear up or it will probably just return a few days later. I wouldn't expect complete relief any faster than a week, no matter what the package says.

if it is a yeast infection..... it could go away on it's own BUT i know how annoying it could be..... yes the over the counter are the same as at the dr's. i worked for an ob-gyn office for 5 yrs. also, eat yougert....believe me, the lactobasillis(sp?) in youngertwill help the yeasties go away fast. hope you feel better soon

There is an OTC test you can take to determine if it is a yeast infection. I've never used it, but I've seen the commercials for it. I've used Monistat in the past when I've had yeast infections. It's very messy, so be prepared for that. Yeast infections are no fun! Hopefully you'll get relief soon.

Yes, it depends on which kind you use (1 day, 3 day, and so on), but I usually buy the Monistat 1 that you can use anytime, but right before bed is best, and it clears up in about 3 days for me! Hope this helps, I know those are MISERABLE!
