See a Doctor

Since the symptoms of a yeast infection can be similar to those of other conditions, it is important to consult your family doctor or gynaecologist, especially if this is your first yeast infection.

You should also see your doctor if:

  • you have frequent yeast infections or the infection returns in less than two months;
  • you are pregnant or breastfeeding;
  • you frequently change your sex partners or have several;
  • you are under 12 years old;
  • you have a temperature, and experience chills, nausea or vomiting;
  • your vaginal discharge has an unusual odour;
  • you have abdominal pain;
  • you have had an allergic reaction to other drugs prescribed for yeast infections;
  • your symptoms do not improve in three days or do not disappear after a week;
  • you are taking any other drugs.
