Yeast Infection Creams

Yeast infection creams are one of several ways to get rid of a vaginal yeast infection. If you are experiencing symptoms of a yeast infection for the first time, consult your doctor before using any yeast infection creams. Both prescription and over the counter yeast infection creams are available.

Vaginal yeast infections are caused by an overgrowth of the yeast Candida albicans. Yeast is present normally in the vagina. The healthy bacteria found in the body help keep the yeast in check. When something happens to reduce the healthy bacteria such as use of antibiotics and steroids, the yeast is allowed to grow. Yeast likes a warm and moist environment. Avoid wearing tight fitting underwear or pants and change out of wet swimwear or workout clothes as soon as possible.


Yeast infection symptoms include extreme itching and a irritated vagina with pain while urinating or having sex. Sometimes there is a cottage cheese like discharge but it has no smell. If you are experiencing these symptoms for the first time, you should consult your doctor for a definitive diagnosis. If you are like 50% of women who have a recurring yeast infection, you already know the symptoms and can get some over the counter yeast infection creams to treat the infection.

There are also some things you can do at home to treat a vaginal yeast infection. Yogurt is widely used as a yeast infection cream. Use sugar free, plain yogurt with active cultures and spread it on the labia for immediate relief. You can dip a tampon in the yogurt and place in the vagina a couple of times a day. You can also put the yogurt in a tampon applicator and insert in the vagina. Be sure to wear a pad to catch the leakage.
