Recovery Timeline & Prevention
Most women experience significant symptom relief within 24-48 hours of starting antifungal treatment, with complete resolution typically occurring within 3-7 days. According to the CDC, it's important to complete the full course of medication even if symptoms improve. To prevent recurrence, wear breathable cotton underwear, avoid douching, limit antibiotic use when possible, and maintain good blood sugar control if diabetic.
