What Is a Yeast Infection?
10. Stronger Treatment
In cases of a complex yeast infection, stronger treatment will likely be required. The patient may need long course vaginal therapy, which typically involves taking anti-fungal medication for up to 6 months. This can involve oral medication, although this is also not recommended for pregnant women.
Another potential treatment is azole resistant therapy. This is a treatment that involves inserting a boric acid capsule directly into the patient’s vagina. This method is only recommended when other medications are not working. The patient may also be given medication to help treat some of the symptoms that can be caused by a yeast infection.
