Similarly, food allergies or an allergy to a new soap, detergent or body product can also cause inflammation, itching and burning in and around the vagina — so you want to make sure you know the specific cause before you jump in and self-administer a treatment. Symptoms of a yeast infection include:. Typically, a yeast infection is treated with an over-the-counter treatment, using a combination of a topical cream and a vaginal suppository — both of which contain antifungal agents.
There are a range of effective, active ingredients such as butoconazole Gynazole-1 , clotrimazole Gyne-Lotrimin , miconazole Monistat 3 , and terconazole Terazol 3. These come in short- or long-dose form. We recommend taking the longer-dose forms 7 days , rather than a single-dose or three-day as they seem to be the most effective and the most likely to prevent a recurrence of yeast overgrowth.

The combination could lead to increased levels of warfarin in the body, which could lead to bleeding. Consult your healthcare provider for more information on drug interactions of Vagisil or Monistat. Vagisil is an OTC cream that contains local anesthetics called benzocaine and resorcinol.
It can help relieve vaginal itching, but will not cure an underlying infection. Monistat contains miconazole, an antifungal used to treat vaginal yeast infections. It is available over-the-counter in a variety of formulations for 1-day, 3-day, or 7-day treatment. The internal cream comes with disposable applicators and is used at bedtime. Some formulations of Monistat also contain a tube of miconazole cream to be used externally.
