If you are a woman that's looking on the Internet for "Medications For Yeast Infections", then I've got some advise for you. I advise you to go see your primary doctor. There is a lot of information on the Internet on this subject. But no information is better than what a licensed family physician can give you. Now that I have that out of the way, (That was my disclaimer...), let's get into it!
There are several different medications that you can take to help you either treat or prevent a yeast infection. They all work! But just like any medication out there, there are side effects. In this article I am going to list the most popular or widely used treatments for yeast infections, or candidiasis. I am going to list the pros and the cons of using each. So that you, the customer can get a better idea about which one you might decide to use. You ready? OK!
Anti fungal medications - These medicines are the standard of care issued when a woman has a vaginal yeast infection. There are 2 types of anti-fungal medicines: Anti fungal suppository creams taken vaginally and those taken orally.
Anti fungal suppository creams are inserted into the vagina and they begin to work almost immediately. The great thing about these suppositories is that they only the affect the affected area. They have a 80 to 90% cure rate. Some of the side effects of this type of treatment are:
Vaginal itching, burning or discharge.
Headaches.
Stomach pains.
For anti-fungal medicines taken orally you have the same cure rate of 80 to 90%. The only difference in this type of treatment is the application. Oral anti-fungal medicines are usually given as a matter of preference. If the woman doesn't want to take the suppository, then the medicine is given orally. But bear in mind, this type of medicine takes longer to be effective, and the vaginal treatment mentioned from above may still be prescribed in addition to the oral one.
Some of the side effects of the oral anti-fungal medications are;
Diarrhea
Constipation
Nausea
As you can see, there are pros and cons to taking any kind of anti-fungal yeast infections treatment prescribed or over the counter. The main problem with these treatments is that they not only kill the overgrowth of "bad fungi' in your body, they also kill the "good." Your body has an abundance of both good and bad fungi.
Killing all fungi in your body is not a good thing because when you do this you throw the body out of balance. That's why you have recurring yeast infections sometimes 3 to 6 months later. In order to fix this problem you must learn to use more natural ways to cure these yeast infections.
Now that you know about some of the medications for yeast infections, you should also learn about some of the more natural ways to cure yeast infections. These more natural ways do not involve anti-fungal creams and suppositories. They do not involve killing every fungi in your body and throwing your whole body out of whack!
