If you are interested in the topic "treating for yeast infection while trying to conceive", it's because you already have a yeast infection and are planning to have a baby, or, you are already pregnant.
This article also assumes that you understand the basics of what a yeast infection is.
The key question you will be asking is; "can I still conceive if I have a yeast infection"? The answer is yes.
A yeast infection in itself won't prevent you from getting pregnant.
What may make conceiving more difficult is the use of cream remedies which are applied inside the vagina to combat the yeast infection.
This thick cream may affect the number of sperm reaching the egg, thus reducing your chances of conceiving.
But, a word of caution.
There is a high probability that you will pass the yeast infection to your partner during unprotected sex.
The best advice, if you are trying to conceive, is to abstain from sex until the infection is completely gone.
This is the most sensible approach, since having sex with a yeast infection can be extremely uncomfortable, not to say very painful, anyway.
But of course, then, you will want to get cured as quickly as possible.
Now what if you are already pregnant? Once again the yeast infection in itself won't harm your unborn baby.
But you have to be even more careful here, because you really don't want to be taking drugs that may affect the health of your unborn child.
Your doctor or medical practitioner will be able to help here, probably by advising locally applied creams etc.
But here is the real problem, whether you are already pregnant or trying to conceive.
Most prescription and over-the-counter remedies are drug-based.
Many of these can have side effects for both you and your unborn baby.
Now, while these drugs can be very effective in the short term, many are treating the local symptoms and not the root causes.
So that the infection can re-occur.
Also, it is known that the yeast infection can become immune over time to some of these drugs.
What this means is that many women have multiple yeast infections over many, many years.
So you now have a dilemma; if you want to conceive, and follow the "no sex" rule, then you will want to get cured very quickly.
But this doesn't always happen with conventional drugs.
And if you are already pregnant, you definitely don't want to pose any risks to your unborn child through taking certain drugs.
The safest and quickest route is to take a 100% natural approach to a full cure.
Very many women worldwide are reporting great success using this approach.
They are not only reporting permanent cures but in very quick time.
