Fast and Discrete Yeast Infection Treatment — No Appointment Needed
Ottawa and Orleans Pharmacist Minor Ailments Service
Yeast Infections: What You Need to Know
Yeast infections, also known as vaginal candidiasis, are a common condition caused by an overgrowth of the fungus Candida albicans. Symptoms may include itching, burning, irritation, and thick white discharge. While not usually serious, they can be uncomfortable and disruptive to daily life.
Most yeast infections can be effectively treated with antifungal medication. Getting care early can help relieve symptoms quickly and prevent recurrence.
If you’re in the Ottawa and Orleans area and think you may have a yeast infection, Centrum Pharmacy can help — no doctor’s appointment needed.
