| Yeast Infections |
|
The fungus candida albicans is present in the vagina all the time. Factors such as hormonal changes, diabetes, antibiotics, and spermicides can trigger an overgrowth of the fungus. This condition, called a yeast infection (candidiasis), is often accompanied by vaginal inflammation and terrible itching. The symptoms of yeast infection could also be indicative of more serious medical conditions. Get a professional diagnosis from your physician before initiating treatment with over the counter products. OTC compounds for treating yeast infections of the vagina (candidiasis) include butoconazole (Femstat 3), clotrimazole (Gyne-Lotrimin, Mycelex), and miconazole (Monistat). Local anesthetics specifically formulated for vaginal use may relieve the itching. |
