For many the first point of call is a doctor. Te doctor will then send you to a pharmacist, who will give you two options. A topical creme or a tablet. More recently pharmacists have been telling their customers to use both. However many women don't feel comfortable with entrusting their bodies with a doctor. Some women feel comfortable discussing the vaginal yeast infection issue with their doctor, but don't want to use pharmaceutical products to treat their vaginal yeast infection.

If you do want to visit your doctor or are afraid of using a natural or home remedy then by all means do so. The point is, you have a choice.
