Most of the vaginal yeast infection symptoms can be relieved within 1 or 2 weeks by topical or oral antifungal medications. But as I mentioned before in  Causes of Vaginal Yeast Infection  the main cause of vaginal yeast infection is disturbance in inner balance of microorganism. So after antifungal treatment yeast infection do tend to recur in 5 - 10% of the cases.

Following antifungal treatments are available for treating vaginal yeast infections-

VAGINAL TABLETS :

• Clotrimazole (Lotrimin)
• Terconazole (Terazol)
• Miconazole (Monistate, Monazole) and
• Nystatin (Mycostatin)

TOPICAL CREAMS :

• Butoconazole (Femstat)
• Clotrimazole (Lotrimin)
• Terconazole (Terazol)

Single dose of oral Fluconazole  (Diflucan Oral) also useful in treating yeast infections. Most of the Doctors prefer topical treatments like vaginal tab. creams, ointments over oral treatment because oral antifungal medication can cause adverse effects like nausea, vomiting, headache and abdominal cramps.


PRECAUTIONS:

• Pregnant women should consult Gynecologist before using these treatments specially oral Fluconazole.
• Any women who experiences symptoms of vaginal infection for first time, should take specialist advice for diagnosing right disease that it is yeast infection or S.T.D.
• It is not necessary to treat male sex partner for all the cases of yeast infection but if he experiences itching or redness on glance penis then both the partners should take treatment for yeast infection.
• Keep external genital organs dry and clean.
• Change tampons and sanitary pads frequently.
• Wear loose and cotton underwear instead of nylon.
• Dibetics should keep tight control over blood sugar level.
