I think I have a vaginal yeast infection. I recognize the symptoms. Can I get something at the pharmacy?

Yes, you can purchase over-the-counter products at the pharmacy to treat a vaginal yeast infection. Some common symptoms of a yeast infection include itching of the vulva and vaginal entrance, thick and creamy discharge, and vaginal burning during urination. You can choose between antifungal creams like Canesten or Monistat, or you can ask the pharmacist for fluconazole capsules. Both topical and oral treatments are effective, and symptoms usually improve within 7 days of starting treatment. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.
