Which yeast infection treatment is right for me?

Remember, the only way to know for sure if your symptoms are being caused by a yeast infection is to visit your doctor. Your doctor can confirm that you have a yeast infection, and make sure you get the right treatment that works fast, the first time you take it. Before you talk to your doctor, think about what kind of a treatment you would prefer. Here are some questions you can ask yourself about what you would prefer in a yeast infection treatment:

  • How quickly would you like your yeast infection medication to start providing you with relief?
  • Is it important that your yeast infection treatment can be used at any time of the day?
  • Is the convenience of a single-dose treatment an important factor to you when using a yeast infection medication?
  • Are you concerned about your yeast infection treatment interacting with other medications?
  • Are you concerned about the side effects of your yeast infection treatment?
  • Would you like your yeast infection treatment to be covered by your health insurance plan?
