Question

She will do a pap, or check your cervical mucus and your v****a to determine if you do have a yeast infection then will give you some medicine for it.

Answer 5

If you think you have an infection its always smart to go to the DR. All she will do is take a swab and test it..only takes a miute. If you'd rather not go You can buy the monistat packs at the store and use them and it will clear everything up...your doc would give you antibiotics to take so it would be easier but its up to you.

Answer 6

if it is severe, you have to go to a gynecologist, but a way to prevent that is to not wear alot of nylon underwear or douche too much down there for your v****a needs moisture, you don't necesarily need to go to a doctor, if you go to the store they have over the counter creams for that, treat it now before the infection reaches your bladder thus becomes a urinary tract infection, which is a little nasy, you pee blood and it hurts to urinate :)

Answer 8

go online. read up on yeast infections and see if you have the symptoms. read up on over the counter treatments for yeast infections and see if it would be effective for YOU to use. you know your body.

if you are scared to do the over the counter stuff, just go see a doctor. the doctor will take a sample and analyze it to see what is wrong..if there's anything wrong of course.
