Vaginal Yeast Infection Treatment & Symptoms

Frequently asked questions

About Amazon One Medical

What are your telehealth options for vaginal yeast infection treatment?

Amazon One Medical offers multiple ways to get care from the comfort of your own home.

If you're a One Medical member and you live in a state where One Medical has offices, you can schedule Remote Visits with One Medical providers, which are billable to you or your health insurance. As a member, you can also get 24/7 on-demand virtual care with Treat Me Now or Urgent Video Chat via the One Medical app at no extra cost, no matter where you live in the United States.

If you're not a One Medical member, you can start a one-time virtual visit with Pay-per-visit. Pay-per-visit offers 2 types of telehealth for Amazon customers: video visits and message-only visits. Video visits are available from $49 in all 50 states and D.C. Message-only visits are available from $29 in 36+ states.*

To see your Pay-per-visit options for this condition, start a one-time virtual visit and choose your state.

*State availability varies by condition. Prices subject to change.

Can I use my health insurance for Amazon One Medical Pay-per-visit?

Amazon One Medical doesn't accept health insurance for Pay-per-visit care. You can submit a claim to your insurance provider for reimbursement, but we can’t guarantee they’ll reimburse you for your one-time virtual visit.

If you normally use insurance to pay for your medications, you can do that with medications prescribed through all Amazon One Medical services. Amazon Pharmacy accepts most insurance plans. For other pharmacies, please talk with your pharmacy directly about insurance coverage. The cost of medication isn’t included in the cost of your visit.

What happens if my provider can't diagnose or treat my health issue through Pay-per-visit?

If your provider can’t diagnose or treat your health issue through Pay-per-visit, they may recommend that you see a primary care provider or a specialist for in-person care. If that happens, you won't be charged.

Can I communicate with a provider after I get my Pay-per-visit treatment plan?

Yes. When you use Pay-per-visit, you can message with One Medical providers within your personal dashboard for an additional 2 weeks (14 days) at no extra cost. This complimentary communication window allows you time to:

• Ask follow-up questions about any prescriptions or over-the-counter medications in your treatment plan

• Connect with a provider if you think your treatment needs to be adjusted

• Tell a provider if you're experiencing side effects from your medication

• Tell a provider if there's an issue getting your prescription from the pharmacy

• Let the One Medical care team know that you're feeling better

Your secure, HIPAA-compliant message will be received by the first available provider, who will be able to review your visit’s treatment plan and any follow-up correspondence. If you still need treatment adjustments or have questions after the 14-day communication window, you'll need to start a new visit.

What if I want to refill my medication?

If your provider didn't include refills with a prescription when they sent your treatment plan through Pay-per-visit, you'll need to start a new one-time virtual visit to request another prescription.

There are many reasons why a provider may decide that prescription refills aren't medically appropriate. For example, they may want to assess how well a medication is working and whether or not it needs to be adjusted before you continue with the same treatment.

About yeast infections

What can trigger vaginal yeast infections?

Yeast infections are associated with recent antibiotic use, high blood sugar (if you have diabetes), and immunocompromising health conditions.

And because vaginal yeast infections can be influenced by hormones, symptoms are often worse in the week before you get your menstrual period. Pregnancy is also a major risk factor.

What's the difference between a vaginal yeast infection and bacterial vaginosis (BV)?

Vaginal yeast infections and BV are both types of vaginitis, which is the general name for inflammation of the vagina or vulva. BV is the most common type of vaginitis, followed by vaginal yeast infections, then trichomoniasis (also known as trich).

Vaginal yeast infections and BV have some overlapping symptoms, like itchiness and discomfort, but BV is associated with a fishy odor, while yeast discharge is odorless. BV discharge also tends to be thin, grayish, or foamy, while yeast infection discharge tends to be thick, white, or like cottage cheese.

You're in the right place to get vaginal yeast infection treatment. If you think you have BV, we recommend that you start from Amazon One Medical's Bacterial vaginosis (BV) page. If you think you have trich, you'll need to see a primary care provider for lab testing.

Can I get yeast infection treatment for another part of my body through Pay-per-visit?

Yes. If you're experiencing a fungal skin infection, we recommend that you start from Amazon One Medical's Rash and skin infections page.

Yeast can become overgrown in many places, including in the mouth (called thrush or oral candidiasis) and in skin folds like the armpit.

Can I be treated for frequent or recurring yeast infections through Pay-per-visit?

No. If you've been treated for 3 or more vaginal yeast infections within the past 12 months, you'll need to see a primary care provider for a vaginal swab. This can help determine what kind of Candida is causing your yeast infections.

Recurrent yeast infections may require specialized medications.
