Meron po akong yeast infection. I am 19 years old and I am not familiar sa case ko. Where should I go? Who should I see? Ob gyn po ba? Anong klaseng treatment po ba ang iu-undergo ko? Malaki po ba expenses? Sana matulungan nyo po ako.


Thank you

Yeast is a fungus that normally lives in the vagina in small numbers. A vaginal yeast infection means that too many yeast cells are growing in the vagina . These infections are very common. Although they can bother you a lot, they are not usually serious. And treatment is simple.

Ito ang mga sintomas na maaari mong maranasan bago dumating ang iyong menstrual period.
- itching or soreness in the vagina
- sometimes causes pain or burning when you urinate or have sex
- Some women also have a thick, clumpy, white discharge that has no odor and looks a little like cottage cheese.

Madali lang itong malunasan sa pamamagitan ng paginom ng mga over the counter drugs (medicines you can buy without a prescription). Maari kang gumamit ng antifungal cream, or a suppository na ilalagay mo sa loob ng iyong vagina, or antifungal tablets na iinumin mo.

Pero ang pinaka mainam mo parin na gawin ay magpakonsulta sa OB GYN para malaman kung ito nga ay vaginal yeast infection. Yeast infections are common during pregnancy. Tandaan, kung ikaw ay buntis wag iinom ng gamot ng walang prescription mula saiyong doctor.
