Yeast infections are common—but persistent or recurrent cases often signal deeper imbalances in gut microbiome, hormones, or immunity. At Patients Medical in New York City, we go beyond symptom suppression. Our integrative model combines conventional testing with functional evaluation to address triggers, support microbiome balance, and restore your health long-term.
We don’t just calm the itch—we explore why your system allowed it in the first place.
A yeast infection—typically overgrowth of Candida albicans—causes inflammation in the vagina or other mucosal sites, leading to irritation and discomfort. Not all Candida overgrowth is symptomatic, but when it is, it signals an underlying imbalance.
Yes—occasionally mild infections may resolve without treatment. But when persistent or recurrent, addressing only symptoms often leads to bouncing back. Chronic imbalance in gut flora, immune suppression, hormonal shifts, antibiotic use, or stress are often at fault.
We aim to uncover why your microbiome is out of balance:
We use cutting-edge labs to identify triggers:
An anti-inflammatory, low-sugar diet empowers gut balance and limits Candida proliferation. We personalize meal plans and may include probiotic foods like kefir or fermented vegetables.
Useful for severe or recurrent cases:
We integrate lifestyle and functional solutions:
For persistent cases:
Topical azoles (e.g., clotrimazole, miconazole) or oral fluconazole
We use these in combination with natural strategies—never standalone.

Mild cases sometimes do, but most require treatment—especially if they’re recurrent.

Probiotics help—but full resolution often requires a multi-step, whole-body approach.
Balance blood sugar, support gut health, avoid synthetic fragrances or tight clothing, and manage stress.
Yes—especially if they have diabetes or their partner has recurring infections.
Not exactly, but partners can pass yeast back and forth during intimacy.
Yes. They can wipe out healthy gut flora, giving yeast a chance to overgrow.
You may still have imbalances. We use functional tests to detect subtle overgrowths that traditional labs miss.
Sometimes. But pairing it with antifungal therapy, gut healing, and hormonal balance yields better results.
