Q&A: Should I treat a yeast infection if I only have one symptom?
Question by liz n: Should I treat a yeast infection if I only have one symptom?
I am 8 months pregnant, I just treated a yeast infection a month ago with Monistat 3, and it worked fine. My only symptom is itching. I do not want to pay for the doctor to test for a yeast infection. So should I assume it is a yeast infection and treat it with Monistat again since it has worked before?

Well, you COULD – but I’d call the doctor first to make sure it’s okay, and they don’t want to check you just to be safe.
You might not have one, you could be producing a lot of discharge, which can seriously irritate your delicate parts.
They sell yeast infection test kits around the same area. Ask the pharmacist if you don’t see it.
But the bottom line is, call the doctor anyway. At this stage you don’t want to take the liberty to self-medicate with anything.

I quite yeast and sugar, upped my vitamin and vegetable intake. How long until I recover (just a ball park)?
Any holistic suggestions?

There is a supplement called Candida Cleanse that works great. Anything that contains garlic or oil of oregano helps. How long it takes to recover varies, usually one to two weeks because you are experiencing what is known as a “die off” effect.
