Vaginal Yeast Infection
Vaginal Yeast Infection is one of the most common infections in the genital area. With the disruption of the vaginal flora, the acidic pH of the area changes, creating ideal conditions for fungal growth. Fungal infections can recur and become chronic despite repeated treatment. In such cases, trying to restore the vaginal flora will be the most effective treatment for chronic yeast infections.
What Disrupts Vaginal Flora
While the use of antibiotics kills harmful bacteria, it also destroys beneficial bacteria. Therefore, antibiotics should be consumed under the supervision of a doctor as much as the disease requires. In addition, unsupervised antibiotic medication carries the risk of disrupting the vaginal flora as it will cause the death of bacteria that make the vagina acidic. In addition, the vaginal flora can be disrupted for both physiological and external reasons.
Physiological causes include weak immune system, stress, diabetes and insulin resistance, and hormonal changes. External factors that negatively affect the vaginal flora include the wrong choice of panties, nylon-containing underwear, intensive use of sanitary napkins, excessive vaginal cleaning, and the use of the wrong cleaning products.

Laser technology in chronic fungus treatment offers the most comfortable solution for many patients in recent years. With the most recent laser technologies in our clinic, it is possible to get rid of vaginal yeast infections in a short time.
The most obvious symptom of a vaginal yeast infection is intense itching in the genital area. It also causes a white cheese-like discharge. Irritation, swelling, redness, and dryness are observed in the patient’s genital area due to itching and scratching. It can cause vaginal dryness, which can lead to pain and soreness during sex.
In fungal infections, it is recommended to first identify the underlying problem and to change the lifestyle. If necessary, concomitant treatment is given and probiotics are used to strengthen the flora. In addition to medical treatments such as medication, suppositories, and creams, permanent intervention to the infection can be achieved with laser and PRP methods in chronic cases.
Treatment For Vaginal Yeast Infection With Laser
In chronic cases where the flora is impaired, the acidic structure is restored by renewing the vaginal wall with laser treatment. In some patients, it is useful to support this treatment with PRP. PRP offers a very effective solution, especially in dryness caused by vaginal fungus. Usually, once a month, an average of three sessions will be sufficient for most patients. Both laser and PRP sessions are painless and take about twenty minutes in the clinic, allowing you to return to your normal life immediately.
