For those who are not pregnant, and you had yeast infections before and can recognize the symptoms, you can treat yourself at home with over-the-counter medications (those that do not require a prescription). You can use an antifungal cream, or a suppository that you put into your vagina, or antifungal tablets that you swallow. If your symptoms are mild, you may want to wait to see if they clear up on their own before trying a medication.Yeast infections are common during pregnancy. Please consult a doctor before using any yeast infection medications on your own if you are pregnant. Note that the oils in some antifungal creams or suppository weaken latex, so don’t depend on condoms or diaphragms for birth control if you are on these medications. For recurrent yeast infections, infections that occur more often than four times a year, see your doctor to see if there may be underlying health problems causing the frequent infections such as diabetes.
