Yeast infections, although common, can be frustrating and persistent, especially when treated with conventional medications alone. At Patients Medical in New York City, we go beyond simple symptom relief. Our integrative approach combines conventional, holistic, and functional medicine to understand the root causes of your yeast infection and manage or prevent it naturally. We treat the whole person—not just the symptoms.
A yeast infection, also known as candidiasis, occurs when there is an overgrowth of the Candida fungus, often Candida albicans, in areas like the vagina, mouth (oral thrush), or skin. While small amounts of Candida naturally exist in the body, factors like a weakened immune system, hormonal imbalances, or certain medications can trigger an overgrowth.
There are different types of yeast infections:

We offer a comprehensive, natural treatment plan to manage yeast infections, focusing on the root causes:
A personalized diet can help balance gut health and reduce yeast overgrowth, including:
Custom IVs with Vitamin C, glutathione, B vitamins, and magnesium help strengthen the immune system, support detoxification, and reduce inflammation.
We recommend evidence-based supplements, such as:

Stress is a significant contributor to yeast infections, so we offer:
Using bioidentical hormone therapy, we address imbalances that could trigger or worsen yeast infections, especially in women going through menopause or those on birth control.

We developed a 3-month integrative plan for Sarah that included:
Three months later, Sarah’s yeast infections were significantly reduced, and she regained her confidence. Her gut health and immune system had improved, and she felt healthier overall.

Yes, yeast infections can often be managed and prevented with dietary changes, probiotics, antifungal herbs, and stress management.
A healthcare provider can diagnose yeast infections through swab tests, blood tests, or urine analysis. If symptoms persist, it may be necessary to rule out other conditions.
Absolutely! A diet low in sugar and refined carbs can help prevent yeast overgrowth, while foods like probiotics, garlic, and coconut oil can help restore balance.
Yes, recurrent infections are common and may be linked to underlying factors such as gut imbalances, hormonal changes, or stress.
Chronic stress can weaken the immune system, making it easier for yeast to overgrow. Stress reduction is an important part of treatment.
Probiotics help restore the balance of good bacteria in the body, which can prevent yeast overgrowth, particularly in the gut and vaginal areas.
Yes, hormonal changes during pregnancy, menopause, or with birth control use can alter the vaginal environment, increasing the risk of yeast infections.
Prevention involves maintaining a healthy immune system, a balanced diet, managing stress, and avoiding overuse of antibiotics.
While we are an out-of-network provider, we offer superbills to assist with reimbursement. Lab tests may be partially covered by insurance.
