Dr. Jeff Livingston answered

Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Obgyn treatment: The first step is to confirm that it is a yeast infection. Often other infections are misdiagnosed. Then your doctor can determine which anti fungal treatment is appropriate. Then they can test to make sure that it is working and if not change the treatment plan
