Vaginal yeast infections are a common fungal infection that 75% of people with vaginas will have in their lifetime. Also called vulvovaginal candidiasis or vaginal candidiasis, they can cause symptoms like vaginal itching, vaginal irritation, vaginal redness and swollen vulva. They may also cause a thick, white vaginal discharge, a sensation of burning while peeing or pain during sex.
Vaginal yeast infections happen when the balance of bacteria and yeast in the vagina becomes disrupted, causing a specific type of yeast—candida—to overgrow. Conditions that can trigger this growth include:
This depends on the infection’s severity. Some mild cases may go away on their own after a few days. But most require treatment. With the right treatment, moderate-to-severe infections usually go away after 1 to 2 weeks. If left untreated, these infections are more likely to keep happening—and get worse.
A urinary tract infection (UTI) is a common condition that can also trigger symptoms like frequent or painful urination (dysuria) and painful intercourse. Here’s how to tell these similar medical conditions apart:
You can have a UTI and yeast infection at the same time. In some cases, antibiotics prescribed to treat UTIs can make a yeast infection more likely. Talk to a medical provider to make sure you have the proper treatment.
Dr. B offers oral and vaginal suppository antifungal medications that restore natural bacteria and yeast to appropriate levels. The vaginal yeast infection pills (Fluconazole and its brand equivalent, Diflucan) and vaginal suppositories (Miconazole and Terconazole) are equally effective.
The oral treatments Fluconazole and Diflucan are taken by mouth and often cure a yeast infection in a single dose. The vaginal suppositories Miconazole and Terconazole are inserted into the vagina using an applicator.
Common side effects of oral treatments include stomach pain, nausea, diarrhea and dizziness. All of these side effects are usually mild.
Common side effects of vaginal suppositories include headache, stomach cramps and an itchy vagina. In rare cases, vaginal suppository medication can cause an allergic reaction or liver disease. Seek medical help if you experience symptoms such as irregular heartbeat, continuous vomiting, yellowing eyes or skin, dark urine or itching and swelling of the face, tongue or throat.
Medication for a yeast infection may interact with other medications, including Clopidogrel, Asunaprevir, Flibanserin, Lemborexant and Warfarin. To avoid an interaction, talk to your medical provider about your medical history and provide a complete list of your current prescriptions.
