I'm getting rid of a vaginal yeast infection, what causes it and what to do?

Yeast: Vaginal yeast infections are caused by a fungus called candida. Some tx options include vaginal cream, ointment or suppository for sev. Days (7 to 14 days sometimes). Otc meds include Monistat (miconzole), vagistat-1 (tioconazole), femstat (buoconazole), Gyne-Lotrimin or mycelex( clotrimazole). Otc meds don’t work ? See your dr. S/he may order diflucan (fluconazole).

Fungus among us: A yeast infection occurs due to changes in the vaginal pH(acidity/alkalinity scale). They occur more frequently in diabetics,and frequent douchers who alter the pH by washing out the bacteria that stabilizes the vaginal pH.
