A yeast infection, also known as candidiasis, is a fungal infection caused by an overgrowth of the Candida fungus. It often affects areas such as the vagina, mouth, throat, and skin folds, causing symptoms such as itching, burning, redness, and abnormal discharge.
Over the counter treatment options
In some cases over-the-counter (OTC) anti-fungal creams which are easily accessible, can be applied directly to the affected area for effective treatment. They work by eliminating the fungal overgrowth, relieving symptoms and promoting healing.
Natural remedies for yeast infection
Below are some natural remedies that you can use for the relief of yeast infection symptoms:
1. Yogurt: Apply plain, unsweetened yogurt to restore beneficial bacteria.
2. Garlic: Topical use for its antifungal properties.
3. Tea Tree Oil: Diluted application for relief.
4. Coconut Oil: Soothes itching and irritation.
5. Probiotics: Support a healthy balance.

In general, the medical practitioners at 247 Medical, accept most of the well known medical aids (and not the medical insurance). Different rules apply for different medical aids and different practitioners (for example, the GPs take most medical aid plans on Discovery, but are not yet on the Smart Plan or Key Care Networks, whereas the Dentists accept both Smart Plan and Key Care). For the avoidance of doubt, please call us in advance of your appointment and enquire about your specific medical aid and medical aid plan.
