Most of the over-the counter vaginal treatments and creams you buy contain the same ingredients to help you cure your yeast infection, many of  these treatments are recommended not only for women, men also can have a yeast infection as well as babies, children, and pregned women.

In the case of a woman, vaginal creams are used not only outside but inside of the vagina with a special applicator  this product usually include when you buy them, this way you can kill off the yeast that is causing you the infection.

This kind of creams is specially created to kill the fungus that is causing the infection and with the applicator you will be able to apply the right dose

Examples of yeast infection creams/treatments:

•     Gyne-Lotrimin or Mycelex (clotrimazole)
•     Gynezol or Femstat (butoconazole)
•     Monistat (miconazole nitrate)
•     Vagistat-1 (tioconazole)

As any other medication or treatment, you have to be sure to read and understand the directions carefully before apply the cream.

Depending on the treatment you choose, you will have to use it at bedtime, or during the day, in the case of bedtime creams, they can be better because in the case of the creams you apply during the day they  can leak out of the vagina and it can be really messy.

In the case of other treatments, they have been designed to be applied around the vulva instead of the inside of the vagina, so they are called “external creams”, this kind of treatments can help you relieve itching, while the antifungal cream helps you to kill of the yeast infection.

Many people ask if they can have sex during a yeast infection, the answer is simple, NO, yeast infections can be very contagious, and this yeast infection cream, as they are oil-based, can damage condoms resulting in pregnancy or contagious.

Other treatments for the yeast infections are the tablets and the suppositories, this contains the same ingredients then the yeast infection creams, so instead of inserting the cream applicator inside of your vagina, you will just insert the tablets or suppositories inside and let them do their job, these also can be better as they won´t leak off as much as the cream treatment, you may hear of these kind of tablets as “ovules” and they include a vaginal inserts.

ADVICE: BEFORE choose any cream, tablet, or treatment, be sure that you have a yeast infection, and in case you do, be sure also to follow the instruction on the package. We advise you this because many people that use yeast infection creams or treatments don´t have a yeast infection or they don´t use the treatment as shown in the instructions.
