Yeast infections from a to z

When to see a doctor

Since the symptoms of yeast infections can be similar to those of more serious conditions, seeing your family doctor or your gynecologist is important, especially if this is your first yeast infection.

You should also see your doctor if:

• You have frequent yeast infections, or if your infection returns in less than 2 months
• You are pregnant or nursing
• You have multiple sexual partners or change partners often
• You are under 12 years of age
• You have fever, chills, nausea, or vomiting
• You have a foul-smelling discharge
• You feel abdominal pain
• You have had an allergic reaction to other VYI medications
• There is no improvement in your symptoms within three days, or they have not disappeared within seven days
