Candida Question #57 Should I Visit A Doctor Or Take OTC Medication For Yeast Infection?

That’s a good question. That really depends on how chronic or severe your condition is and whether you’ve had it before, if it’s recurring, if it’s acute, there are many considerations here. If it’s acute and you haven’t really had it before, you can try some home remedies or some over-the-counter treatments. If it’s chronic and recurring, you’re best to get checked out and make sure that you get a resolution of this problem before it gets out of hand. You don’t want to have a chronic condition recurring, try home treatment, and just drive it further into the body.

I’ve seen many women with acute thrush issues, home treat, go to the doctor, get chronic treatment, then go back and home treat and end up with conditions like endometriosis, which I find quite often linked up with chronic recurring thrush.

So you can treat at home, but if there’s no resolution, you need to get checked out and a proper diagnosis before you can consider proper treatment. Once you know what you’re dealing with, then you can treat them more adequately or work out whether you want to have conventional medical treatment or natural treatment.

Naturally, I’m going to recommend natural treatment. And in my book, Candida Crusher, in Chapter 5, you can read all about this. There are many solutions and I’ve helped many thousands of women with vaginal infections overcome this problem with natural treatment. If that’s the avenue you wish to explore, then I applaud you for taking that step because you can get a good result with natural treatment without having to resort to pharmaceutical drugs and many women have.

So the choice is yours. Don’t let people push you into making decisions that you may later regret. Pharmaceutical drugs do work, but they work at a big price; a lot of side effects and suppression of symptoms and ultimately no cure. So it’s your call. You think about it.

Candida Question #56 I Have Discharge But No Itching Could It Be Yeast Infection?

Of course it could be. You don’t necessarily have to have itching when you’ve got a yeast infection. Some yeast infections can drive women absolutely crazy and involve lots of itching. Others can involve more discharge and have minimal or no itching.

But to be on the safe side, I recommend you get diagnosed properly. It would pay to go and have a smear done. Go and see your doctor or gynecologist and get checked out properly to assess what is going on. There could be all sorts of conditions. You could have bacterial vaginosis, it could be Candida, and it could be all sorts of different conditions. First get a diagnosis before you think about treatment.

It could be a yeast infection and a good way is to get checked out. So, I think that’s probably a clever thing for you to do. Then once you’ve worked out what you’ve got, you’re going to be in a better position to know how to treat that particular condition.

For more information, have a look at my book, Candida Crusher. You can read a lot more about that in Chapter 3. I hope that answers your question. Thank you.

Candida Question #55 Is Fishy Smell Associated With Yeast Infection?

Not really. You shouldn’t have a fish briny sort of vaginal sort of smell with a yeast infection. A yeast infection smell is more of a musty sort of smell. It can be a cheesy discharge and a lot of itch.

When I think of a fish smell, I’m thinking more about bacterial vaginosis, which tends to have a different type of watery, profuse, gray sort of discharge with that fish brine smell. So you should not really have a fishy smell with a Candida infection. But you can have a strong odor, though, which may be misconstrued as a fish smell, but not really. So I hope that answers your question.

My book explains quite a lot about this whole thing, and in Chapter 3, you can read about the diagnosing, testing, and identifying of yeast infections. There’s a whole section on the different types of vaginal afflictions, including inflammations and conditions affecting the vagina. You can read all about those, Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, Herpes, Candida, Bacterial Vaginosis, and I explain all the signs and symptoms, what you’re likely to experience, if there’s any discharge, the odor, what kind of itch you’re likely to get, it’s all in the book. So you can read a lot more about that in Candida Crusher.

Hope that answers your question. Thank you.
