It’s safe to self-treat a yeast infection if you’ve had a yeast infection in the past and have similar symptoms. It’s also fine to do if you’ve spoken with a healthcare professional, they confirm your symptoms are related to a yeast infection, and they recommend treatment. To use the test, take a swab of your vagina and then apply the swab to the test strip. Results are ready in two minutes. If the strip shows that your vaginal pH is elevated, you can treat it using the included itch cream and a three-day yeast infection treatment. However, if this treatment doesn’t work, you may want to see a healthcare provider. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC). Updated July 22, 2021. Accessed November 6, 2021. https://www.cdc.gov/std/treatment-guidelines/candidiasis.htmYeast infections are most accurately diagnosed with a combination of a physical exam (to look for signs of irritation and abnormal discharge) and a culture, in which a sample taken from your vagina is tested in a lab to determine how much yeast is present. With an at-home test, you swab yourself. This should only be done if you have symptoms. Some testing companies will send your sample for analysis at Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA)- or College of American Pathologists (CAP)-certified labs, which meet national testing standards.
