For 5% of women their yeast infection treatment wont cure their yeast infection after one treatment. In-fact, they go on to try numerous treatments while suffering from recurrent yeast infections. Find out the reason why yeast infection treatments dont work first time.
This article is for information purposes only and is in no way a substitute for a doctors diagnosis.
The main reason why an over the counter yeast infection cure doesnt work is because its only treating one symptom. If your vagina is the only place on your body that is infected by a yeast infection then an over the counter treatment should work first time.
If the cause of your vaginal yeast infection is somewhere else then your vagina will just get re-infected every time you stop your treatment. It wont matter how many times you treat yourself or how powerful the treatment is, you will continually get re-infected until you treat your Candida yeast overgrowth from the source. This is usually in your intestines.
An intestinal yeast infection will re-infect your vagina when the Candia overgrowth works its way through your digestive and urinary tracts. If the Candida has gotten into your blood then the Candida will stop off at your vagina as it is a perfect, warm, moist place where the Candida loves to live.
Another reason why your yeast infection will return after a course of treatment is the yeast in your vagina is resistant to the medication you have used. This can happen if you have used the same medication in the past. The Candida yeast will mutate to fight against the anti fungal medication if it is getting used to it.
This will make the yeast infection difficult to cure, and all the treatment does is cure the itching and burning while youre using it, and make the yeast more resistant.
If you have self diagnosed yourself then you could be treating another bacterial infection instead of a yeast infection. This is why its important that you visit your doctor at the first sign of any symptoms so you can get a correct diagnosis.
