A member asked:

How long does it take for a yeast infection to turn into sepsis?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Adrian Baudy IV answered

Not Really: It is very unlikely for candidal vulovaginitis to progress to sepsis. In fact i couldn't find any case studies in the quick pubmed study that i did.

I was prescribed 2 doses of 150mg fluconazole to treat a vaginal yeast infection (my second yeast infection this year). However, its only a mild infection, so is 1 pill effective enough or should I take both? If so, should I take every other day?
