It depends: It depends on the type of infection.Herpes, gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, etc. All require a prescription. Douching only risks washing the infection up into your uterus and tubes and can make the situation worse. If you have a yeast infection the over the counter antifungal (yeast) medicines work. Trich is another std that requires a prescription.

Diagnosis: You first need to know the type of infection before any treatment can be decided upon.
