Common Symptoms of a Vaginal Yeast Infection
A vaginal yeast infection, also called vulvovaginal candidiasis, occurs when Candida yeast grows excessively in the vagina. Symptoms can vary and may include:
- Vaginal or vulvar itching
- Burning or irritation
- Redness or swelling around the vulva
- Vaginal soreness or discomfort
- Thick or unusual vaginal discharge
- Discomfort during urination
- Discomfort during sexual intercourse
These symptoms are not always caused by a yeast infection. Bacterial vaginosis, sexually transmitted infections, skin conditions, and other medical conditions can cause similar symptoms. Your healthcare provider will review your symptoms and medical history before recommending treatment.
How Online Yeast Infection Treatment Works
1. Complete Your Online Medical Evaluation
Tell us about your symptoms, when they started, previous yeast infections, current medications, allergies, pregnancy status, and other information relevant to your care.
2. Physician Review
A licensed healthcare provider reviews your information to determine whether your symptoms are consistent with a vaginal yeast infection and whether telehealth treatment is appropriate.
3. Receive Your Treatment Plan
If treatment is medically appropriate, your provider may prescribe medication or recommend another course of care based on your individual circumstances.
4. Pick Up Your Medication
When a prescription is issued, it may be sent to your selected pharmacy for pickup. Pharmacy processing times and medication availability may vary.
Prescription Treatment for Vaginal Yeast Infections
Antifungal medications are commonly used to treat vaginal yeast infections. The appropriate treatment depends on your symptoms, medical history, previous infections, current medications, and other individual factors.
Fluconazole (Generic Diflucan®)
Fluconazole is an oral antifungal medication that may be prescribed for certain vaginal yeast infections when medically appropriate.
Your healthcare provider will determine whether fluconazole or another treatment is appropriate for you. Completing an online medical visit does not guarantee a prescription or a specific medication.
Can I Get Yeast Infection Treatment Online?
Some vaginal yeast infections can be evaluated and treated through telehealth. If your symptoms and medical history are consistent with a yeast infection, a licensed healthcare provider can determine whether prescription treatment is appropriate.
However, vaginal symptoms can have several different causes. Your provider may recommend testing or an in-person examination if your symptoms are unusual, severe, recurrent, or not clearly consistent with a yeast infection.
Yeast Infection vs. Bacterial Vaginosis
Yeast infections and bacterial vaginosis (BV) are different conditions, although some symptoms may overlap. A yeast infection is generally caused by an overgrowth of Candida yeast, while bacterial vaginosis occurs when the normal balance of bacteria in the vagina changes.
Because vaginal itching, discharge, odor, and irritation can have multiple causes, it is important to provide accurate information about your symptoms during your medical evaluation.
When Should I Seek In-Person Medical Care?
Online treatment may not be appropriate for every patient. Your healthcare provider may recommend additional testing or in-person care depending on your symptoms and medical history.
Seek prompt medical attention for concerning symptoms such as:
- Severe or rapidly worsening symptoms
- Fever or chills
- Significant pelvic or abdominal pain
- Unexplained vaginal bleeding
- Sores, blisters, or other unusual genital symptoms
- Symptoms that repeatedly return after treatment
- Symptoms that do not improve with treatment
If you believe you are experiencing a medical emergency, seek immediate medical care.
