Getting Help for Yeast Infections | Duke Health

Vaginal yeast infections are one of the most common problems that affect women. According to Dr. Mark Lachiewicz, a gynecologist at Duke Health, a yeast infection occurs when the balance between healthy bacteria and yeast is disturbed. Common symptoms include vaginal discharge, itching, irritation or pain, redness, and swelling. Over-the-counter products that include anti-fungal medication may provide some relief, however, it’s best to check with your doctor first. See a doctor if this is your first experience with a year infection, if you’re pregnant had sex with a new partner, or if over-the-counter products didn’t work. Your doctor may be able to provide a more effective treatment.
