Successful Yeast Infection Treatment - There is Danger with The Wrong Diagnosis

By Eloy Ochoa


There are many different factors you must think about that will determine the best method of treatment. There could be highly recommended alternate courses of action as a result of one or more of those factors. The person most suited to determine your best course of action is your doctor. It's easy to be misled by all of the non-prescription Candidiasis medications you can buy at your local pharmacy. A recent study of women who self-diagnosed their supposed yeast infection found that only 33% were correct. Don't you think that is a terrible error rate? 66% were wrong!

There are so many reasons why a pregnant woman must never treat herself when she develops a yeast infection and it is much safer to get the point of view of a gynecologist. OTC medications and self-diagnosis of a yeast infection are some things that a pregnant woman should never do. The best solution - the only solution - is for you to let your doctor diagnose and treat your infection. It's pretty certain that during a pregnancy no orally administered drugs will be prescribed.

If you have a vaginal yeast infection, the normal treatment consists of antifungal creams and suppositories. A simple yeast infection can usually be treated and cleared up in seven days. It bears repeating, because it's so important - don't try to diagnose and treat a yeast infection on your own during your pregnancy, but see your doctor immediately.

You can find alternative types of yeast infection treatments, and one such treatment is boric acid capsules specifically as a vaginal suppository. A lot of women use boric acid when their other antifungal medications haven't gotten rid of their vaginal yeast infection. This natural remedy is not recommended for someone who is pregnant and has a vaginal yeast infection. As we repeatedly stress, if you are pregnant and develop a vaginal yeast infection, you MUST visit your doctor or gynecologist. Even though we told you about the alternative treatment, boric acid capsules, we still encourage you to visit your doctor, especially if your infection did not respond to your first treatment. It could be something totally not related to a yeast infection. It's easy to confuse the symptoms of other infections with those of a yeast infection. This is one of the problems when you diagnose yourself.

What are some of the recommended situations that should be cause for seeing your doctor for suspected vaginal yeast infections? You must see your doctor if you are pregnant because he or she will probably use a different treatment. Secondly, if this is the first time you have had a suspected yeast infection, you must visit your doctor. Most women get yeast infections as a result of taking antibiotics. If you are experiencing recurrent yeast infections, and you haven't been taking antibiotics, then it is very important for you to go to your local health clinic or physician. Sexually transmitted infections must be evaluated and treated by your doctor. Don't try to treat it yourself.

There is a very high mortality rate for systemic Candidiasis and this is especially so if the disease has been left untreated for a long period of time. A normal yeast overgrowth, which is most commonly caused by antibiotic use, is not to be confused with a systemic case of yeast infection. A yeast overgrowth in your intestinal tract is not the same thing as a chronic, systemic yeast infection. The most critical development to avoid at all costs is letting the yeast infection enter your blood stream..
