Finding a Yeast Infection Cure That Will Work Fast

Remy Jirek

Introduction
A yeast infection cure that can work fast is what most women are looking for when they realize they have an infection. Some slight infections can go away on their own, but most infections will benefit from the use of an over the counter treatment. Monistat is one of the popular over the counter vaginal infection treatments. After discussing the symptoms with their physician many women choose to continue at home treatment on their own for future yeast infection outbreaks.


You've got it, now get rid of it…fast! You know the symptoms; you've been there before. You're hoping that you're mistaken. It's just a little irritation and itching in your vagina. Could be caused by a lot of things. Jeans too tight, over-use of bubble baths. It will go away on its own, right?

Wrong. Once the candida fungus takes hold and over-runs your vagina, you must seek a medicinal cure for the yeast infection. Nothing else works. Yes, a visit to the gynecologist can be costly for such a common woman's complaint. "Back in the day," a decade ago, seeing a physician was the only way to acquire a yeast infection cure. Effective treatment was available by prescription only. Today, however, yeast infection cures are readily available at any drug store. These medications aren't inexpensive, but they are less expensive than prescription medications.

What Medications Cure Yeast Infections?

The top-seller among over-the-counter yeast infection cures is Monistat. This medication is administered vaginally and eliminates the over-abundance of candida fungus. Monistat was once available only by prescription and was the "gold standard" of yeast infection cures. The FDA approved Monistat for non-prescription sale. It's the exact same formula of the formerly-prescribed Monistat and comes in a cream or suppositories. It's thought that yeast infections are so common and so easily detected, women can basically diagnose themselves and also treat themselves with Monistat and similar products.

As convenient as it may be that women can seek their own yeast infection cure without a doctor's visit, it isn't always this easy. If you use Monistat as directed and achieve no relief, this is definitely the time to see your gynecologist. Two things may have happened: either you've mis-diagnosed yourself and are suffering from some other type of vaginal infection, or you have a particularly stubborn strain of candida that needs expert treatment.

Yeast infection cures available by prescription include Terazol 7, Clotrimazole, Terconazole, and Diflucan. All three medications work a lot harder than Monistat, necessary for severe and/or chronic yeast infections.

Terazol 7 is available is available in cream form or as a suppository. Both forms are used for seven days with excellent outcome. Clotrimazole is an all-around anti-fungal agent that's effective as a vaginal yeast infection cure, as well as curing fungal infections of the skin like "jock itch," and mouth fungal infections like "thrush." Like Terazol 7, Clotrimazole works by eliminating the candida over-flow. Depending upon the infection being treated, it's available as a skin cream, lotion, liquid solution, lozenge, vaginal cream and vaginal tablet. When a medication of this magnitude is needed, you will see improvements only after at least one week. Terconazole, also know as Terazol 3, is the exact same drug as Terazol 7, except that it is used only for three days as a yeast infection cure. Your gynecologist will advise you about whether you need to use Terazol 7 or Terazol 3, depending upon the severity of your infection.

Diflucan is the "new kid on the block" as a yeast infection cure. It's not a cream, lotion or suppository; it's a pill that you take only once and you can tell that candida farewell! Diflucan does have some side effects including abdominal cramping, headache, and fatigue. Since you take this pill only once, many sufferers feel that it's worth putting up with the side effects for a day or two rather than prolong matters with creams and suppositories.
