Research Notes on How to Get Rid of a Yeast Infection


Yeast Infections are caused by candida albicans, which is a fungus. They are a very common occurrence in women, and can be treated easily with an antifungal medication either prescribed by a doctor or purchased over-the-counter.1 In addition, there are some common home remedies which include utilizing yogurt or garlic on the infected area.2 Below are some resources that suggest methods for treating a yeast infection.

Fast Facts:

  • The oral medication fluconazole can also be an effective treatment.1
  • Antifungal medications come in creams, ointments and suppositories, which are inserted into the vagina.1
  • Using these medications if you don't have a yeast infection can lead to a future infection that may be hard to treat.
