What Is a Yeast Infection?
A yeast infection (vaginal candidiasis) is a common fungal infection caused by an overgrowth of Candida, a type of yeast that naturally lives in the body. When the balance of bacteria and yeast in the vagina is disrupted, Candida can multiply and cause uncomfortable symptoms. Yeast infections are extremely common. Approximately 75% of women will experience at least one yeast infection in their lifetime, and nearly half will have two or more. While yeast infections are not sexually transmitted, they can cause significant discomfort and are best treated promptly. Men can also develop yeast infections (candidal balanitis), typically on the head of the penis, though this is less common.
Common Yeast Infection Symptoms
Yeast infection symptoms can range from mild to severe. If you are experiencing any of the following, book a virtual appointment for assessment and treatment:
- Vaginal itching or irritation
- Burning sensation, especially during urination or intercourse
- Redness and swelling of the vulva
- Thick, white, cottage cheese-like vaginal discharge (usually odourless)
- Soreness or pain in the vaginal area
- Watery vaginal discharge in some cases
- Rash on the vulva or surrounding skin
What Causes Yeast Infections?
Several factors can disrupt the natural balance of vaginal flora and lead to a yeast infection:
- Antibiotic use, which kills beneficial bacteria that keep yeast in check
- Hormonal changes from pregnancy, birth control pills, or hormone therapy
- Uncontrolled diabetes or high blood sugar levels
- Weakened immune system from illness or medications
- Wearing tight, non-breathable clothing or wet swimwear for extended periods
- Douching or using scented feminine hygiene products
- Stress and lack of sleep, which can impair immune function
- High sugar diet, which may promote yeast growth
How Online Yeast Infection Treatment Works
Getting yeast infection treatment online is discreet and efficient: Step 1: Book a virtual appointment in under 2 minutes. Step 2: Consult with a licensed doctor via secure video or chat. Discuss your symptoms, medical history, and any previous yeast infections. Step 3: Receive your diagnosis and prescription. If antifungal medication is appropriate, your doctor issues a prescription you can fill at your preferred Alberta pharmacy. Step 4: Begin treatment right away. Most patients experience significant relief within 1 to 3 days. Prescriptions can be filled at any Alberta pharmacy including Shoppers Drug Mart, Rexall, Safeway, Walmart, Costco, and local pharmacies.
Treatment Options for Yeast Infections
Treatment depends on the severity of the infection and whether it is a first-time or recurrent episode:
- Fluconazole (Diflucan): A single-dose oral antifungal pill that is highly effective for most uncomplicated yeast infections
- Topical antifungal creams (such as clotrimazole or miconazole) applied directly to the affected area
- Antifungal suppositories inserted vaginally for localized treatment
- Multi-dose fluconazole regimens for recurrent or complicated infections
- Longer courses of topical antifungals (7 to 14 days) for severe cases
- Boric acid suppositories may be recommended for recurrent infections that do not respond to standard treatment
- Probiotic supplements to help restore healthy vaginal flora
Prevention Tips and When to See a Doctor
You can reduce your risk of yeast infections with these preventive measures. See a doctor if symptoms do not improve within 3 days of treatment or if you experience 4 or more infections per year:
- Wear breathable cotton underwear and avoid tight-fitting clothing
- Change out of wet swimwear and workout clothes promptly
- Avoid douching, scented tampons, and fragranced feminine washes
- Take probiotics, especially during or after antibiotic use
- Manage blood sugar levels if you have diabetes
- Practice good hygiene but avoid over-washing the vaginal area
- Consider switching birth control methods if infections are recurrent
