Gel For Yeast Infection

Gel for yeast infection is a type of yeast infection treatment that some women prefer over cream-type products. Users often find gel products easier and less messy to use. Typically, an applicator is included with the product, making insertion of the gel treatment into the vagina simple and easy. Some homeopathic yeast infection gel products, such as YeastGuard Advanced gel treatment, contain tea tree oil, witch hazel or other ingredients that may ease the symptoms that accompany yeast infections. Others, such as Probiotic Pearls Women's Yeast Balance, may rely on the power of probiotics to help support vaginal health. 

In most women, yeast infection causes symptoms such as irritation, itching and burning on the vulva and/or in the vagina. The vulva may become swollen and red, and the vagina may be sore and painful. A rash may develop. Additionally, vaginal discharge may be present and may be thick, white and odorless, or it can be watery. Although some yeast infections may require medical intervention, many are treatable with home yeast infection treatments. 

If over-the-counter medications for yeast infection fail to clear up the symptoms you're experiencing or your symptoms are severe, see a doctor at MinuteClinic for treatment. Your doctor can help determine which type of yeast infection treatment regimen, including gel for yeast infection, is most appropriate for your needs. In some instances, prescription gel for yeast infection may be recommended. This gel may contain special prescription-strength ingredients to help combat yeast infection symptoms.
