A member asked:

What can be used to treat vaginal yeast infection?

14 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

OTC yeast creams: Vaginal yeast infections are treated with over the counter yeast creams, such as monistat. See your doctor, however, if there is no improvement or worsening after treatment as there could be other infections occurring that mimic a yeast infection.
