Once your yeast clears, the job is only half done. The other half is maintenance. There is more than a 50% chance that yeast may recur after clearance. Recurrence of yeast infection is one of the most common and challenging issues in women's health.
The regular yeast treatment drugs, like the antifungals, cannot be used for maintenance purposes, because you are not supposed to use an antifungal drug when there is no yeast infection. Repeated use of antifungal medications can cause serious side effects.
However, the NeuEve Yeast Clear is different. It is not a drug, but a food-grade natural product. It's okay to use it for maintenance, and it is safe without side effects, like taking cranberry extract for preventing UTIs. Yeast Clear can be used for maintenance to prevent yeast from returning.
If you have regular menstrual periods, you can use Yeast Clear once a week for maintenance, skipping the menstrual week, even if you do not have yeast symptoms. If you are postmenopausal or premenopausal but have been on birth control pills or patches, and do not have a regular period, you can use Yeast Clear once every 10 days. One pack of 3 suppositories is sufficient for one month of maintenance. You can subscribe to Yeast Clear to receive it monthly and get a 17% subscription discount.
We suggest continuing the maintenance for 3 months. If yeast does not return within 3 months, you may be yeast-free for a long time.
During vaginal yeast clearance, the yeast may hide in the gut as a reservoir. When you stop the maintenance, it may come back to reinfect the vagina, causing yeast recurrence. You can take Yeast Reset pills to clear yeast inside the gut, eliminating the hidden yeast at its source.
While you are on maintenance, you can add a probiotic supplement to help restore a healthy vaginal microbiome, which includes protective Lactobacillus bacteria. This article provides details: To clear yeast, when should I take probiotics to be most beneficial?
There are two methods for long-term maintenance against yeast recurrence.
1. “Continuous” plan:
This plan is to use Yeast Clear one pack per month continuously without stopping, like a continuation of the short-term maintenance plan. If you choose this plan, you can subscribe to Yeast Clear monthly. There are no side effects for the long-term use of NeuEve Yeast Clear because it is all-natural and food-grade.
2. “Use as-needed” plan:
This plan is to stop the short-term maintenance after 3 months and keep two packs of Yeast Clear in the refrigerator for future use in case Yeast comes back. It may be too big an effort to continue using the Yeast Clear every month. In case you ever get Yeast again and need Yeast Clear to clear it, you will have the product handy in the refrigerator. The product can last many years if stored in a refrigerator.
3. How to choose the right plan?
If your yeast is really bad and very hard to clear, you should use the “Continuous” plan because you do not want a really bad yeast infection to come back that is difficult to clear. Continuous use of the Yeast Clear suppository once a week is simple and is a small effort. However, if your yeast is not so bad or is easy to clear, you may use the “Use as-needed” plan, because it is simpler and more economical.
