Vaginal infections are common and may occur once or multiple times in a lifetime. Most are due to an imbalance of the natural bacteria–yeast ecosystem in the vagina, often involving a fungus called Candida.
Also known as vaginal candidiasis / yeast infection, they can cause itching, burning, irritation, abnormal discharge, and discomfort during urination or sexual activity. At Nakshatra Clinic, Baner, Pune, we provide advanced diagnosis and effective treatment for all types of vaginal infections.
Treatment Options for Vaginal Infections
Topical Antifungal Medications
Creams or ointments like clotrimazole, miconazole, nystatin reduce fungal overgrowth, relieve itching/irritation, and restore normal flora—ideal for mild to moderate yeast infections.
Oral Antifungal Medications
For severe or recurrent infections, oral antifungals target yeast systemically—effective in preventing recurrence while rebalancing the vaginal microbiome.
Antibiotics for Bacterial Vaginosis
If the cause is bacterial overgrowth, metronidazole or clindamycin helps restore healthy balance and reduces discharge, odor, and irritation.
Lifestyle & Hygiene Management
Breathable clothing, avoiding scented products, and guided hygiene reduce recurrences and support long-term vaginal health.
Personalized Treatment Plans
Tailored by Baner, Pune gynecologists based on infection type, severity, and health history—to speed recovery and prevent repeat infections.
Post-Menopausal Vaginal Atrophy
When low estrogen is the driver, topical estrogen or hormonal therapy restores the lining, eases dryness, and lowers infection risk.
