Can I use Canesten Vaginal Cream if it’s my first time having symptoms like vaginal itching, burning, or discharge, without seeing a doctor?
It’s best not to use Canesten Vaginal Cream without consulting a doctor if you have these symptoms for the first time. Such symptoms can be caused by different infections, not just a yeast infection. A doctor can confirm the cause and recommend the proper treatment. Once a yeast infection has been properly diagnosed before, you can usually use Canesten safely for future episodes.
