What is a yeast infection?
Yeast infections are a type of fungal infection that can affect the vagina and vulva. They're caused by an overgrowth of a type of fungus called Candida, which is normally present in the body in small amounts.
If you think you might have a yeast infection, don't worry—they're actually pretty common, and they're usually easy to treat. Have chronic yeast infections? Our providers understand how frustrating that might be and can help with those too!
Yeast infection symptoms can vary from patient to patient, but typically include:
- Discomfort and itchiness around the vaginal opening
- Thick, white, cottage cheese-like vaginal discharge
- Painful urination
- Painful vaginal sex
How can I get rid of a yeast infection fast?
Yeast infections are best treated with a prescribed oral antifungal tablet, usually called fluconazole, or an over the counter, short-term course of vaginal cream or suppositories, which are small cone-shaped medications that are inserted directly into the vagina. With oral treatment, you will generally notice an improvement in 24 hours and see total relief in 3 to 7 days.
The most commonly prescribed medications for yeast infections are:
- Fluconazole (Diflucan), an antifungal pill taken orally
- Butoconazole (Gynazole), an antifungal cream applied to the infected area
After you fill out our intake form on your phone or computer, your Hey Jane provider will evaluate the whole picture. They’ll connect the dots between different factors to diagnose your yeast infection and provide a range of treatment options that address both your lifestyle and medical needs. This includes discussing your history of prior infections, your current symptoms, and what has or hasn’t worked for you in the past.
How long does it take to treat a yeast infection?
The length of treatment for a yeast infection can vary based on how severe your symptoms are and the specific treatment prescribed. With oral treatment, you will generally notice an improvement in 24 hours and see total relief in 3 to 7 days.
How long does it take to treat a yeast infection?
If you're experiencing severe itching, vulvar swelling and redness, fever, persistent symptoms after treatment, or pelvic pain, your provider might recommend a more aggressive treatment plan, including in person care.
Some individuals are more prone to recurrent yeast infections. If you experience frequent infections, your healthcare provider might suggest further evaluation to identify any underlying causes. They may also recommend preventive strategies to reduce the risk of future infections.
Because untreated yeast infections can lead to serious, life-threatening infections of the bloodstream, we recommend treating yeast infections sooner rather than later. If you are experiencing persistent symptoms after yeast infection treatment, or find that you are having frequent infections despite treatment, you should seek in-person medical attention, as you may need a more intensive treatment method.

Ready to get started?
We currently treat patients 18+ who are in CA, CO, CT, DE, DC, HI, IL, ME, MD, MA, MN, NH, NJ, NM, NY, OR, RI, VT, VA, or WA, and will be expanding to more states in the future.
You’ll answer questions about your current symptoms, medical history, and any additional considerations. Your Hey Jane provider will assess your symptoms to help diagnose the infection before prescribing a treatment or recommending a path forward that works for you.
We’re here to help. You can talk with a provider about your options via chat or a quick phone call.
Still have questions?
We’ll ask you questions to evaluate the most likely cause of your symptoms. Based on your answers and your medical history, our team of experienced providers work together to get you feeling better! We are always just a message away.
At this time, we do not offer testing for STIs. If you think you have been exposed, or need testing, we can help direct you where to go.
We accept select insurance plans and offer cash-pay patients an income-based sliding scale pricing for our vaginal infection consultations. You can also pay for your consultation with your HSA or FSA if you’d like.
Your payment covers your provider’s time and unlimited messaging with the Hey Jane team for the length of your prescription. We will send your prescription to your local pharmacy of choice for fast, easy pickup, or you can use online pharmacies like Alto or Capsule that ship directly to your door.
You will pay the pharmacy directly for the cost of medication. Costs can vary depending on what specific treatment is prescribed and whether or not you use insurance. In many cases, medication can be as low as $0 with insurance. If you don’t have insurance or are worried about costs, your provider can help you find a more affordable option.
Hey Jane does not offer home delivery at this time for vaginal infection treatments including medication for UTIs, yeast infections, bacterial vaginosis (BV), and herpes outbreaks. Your provider will send your prescription to your preferred local pharmacy for pickup. Some pharmacies have their own delivery services, so we recommend giving yours a call if you’re curious!
When too much yeast grows on your skin or other areas, it can cause an infection, also called candidiasis. Anyone can get a yeast infection, and it’s more likely to happen if you:
- Have had a yeast infection before
- Are sexually active
- Use spermicides or diaphragms
Super common! In fact yeast infections are one of the most common causes of vaginal/vulvar itching and discharge.
Yes, there are. Some people find that boric acid suppositories can help balance the pH of their vaginas, and make it harder for yeast to grow. Some studies also suggest that probiotics can help with yeast, while others say not so much. Probiotics do not hurt though!
Sometimes your body will even treat yeast on its own, but the fastest way to get rid of a yeast infection is with antifungals.
BV is caused by an imbalance of naturally occurring bacteria while yeast infections are caused by an overgrowth of yeast in the vagina.
Yeast infection symptoms often include:
- Discomfort and itchiness around the vaginal opening
- Thick, white, cottage cheese-like vaginal discharge
- Painful urination
- Painful vaginal sex
BV symptoms often include:
- Thin, white, or gray vaginal discharge
- Unusual vaginal odor
- Itchiness around the vaginal opening
- Burning during urination
Definitely not! While Hey Jane only offers prescription treatments for yeast infections at this time, other over-the-counter remedies like Monistat can be found at your local pharmacy.
While both types of treatments work equally well, prescription-strength treatments typically improve symptoms within 1 day. It usually takes 3+ days to get symptom relief from over-the-counter options. If you’re looking to feel better fast, prescription medications may be a better treatment option for you.
Recurring yeast infections can be tricky! Some medications and frequent intercourse can increase the risk for developing a yeast infection, but it can also be related to genetics.
To prevent future yeast infections, here are some tips:
- Wear loose, cotton underwear that is breathable
- Try taking boric acid suppositories to help maintain a healthy pH balance in and around your vagina which can make it harder for yeast to grow. We recommend Love Wellness or Boric Life
- Refrain from using scented products in or on your genitals
- Remove and replace clothing that gets wet with dry if possible—yeast loves warm and damp!
If you have tried over-the-counter remedies which have not helped, or if you develop pelvic pain, fevers or chills.
While using birth control doesn’t necessarily cause yeast infections, it can increase your risk of developing one.
If you’re someone who gets yeast infections frequently, using IUDs, diaphragms, sponges, and birth control that contains estrogen can increase your chances of developing a yeast infection. If you experience yeast infections often and are looking to find the right birth control for you, we’d be happy to talk more about your options!
