Avatar f tn Plain natural yoghurt. Dunk a tampon (non aplicator kind) into the yoghurt, get a decent amount on there and insert then leave in for a hour or so. Dont put it too far up, its best to sit down while its in, watch tv or something and then remove...u will need to put a liner on after taking out. If its not gone by the next day, repeat. Ive never had to do this more than twice.
Avatar f tn I had one towards the end of my pregnancy. I bought monistat 3 inserts at walgreens. It started working right away! A home remedy is plain yogurt!
Avatar f tn So, I'm in my first trimester and pregnancy is already making me experience the wonderful world of yeast infections. I went to the doctor to make sure it is indeed a yeast infection and it is. He didn't prescribe me anything because he said it's too early and to wait until the second trimester, but I've heard of natural remedies, such as the garlic clove in the vagina that cures yeast infections. Has anyone tried this during pregnancy? Is it safe?
Avatar f tn It helps when you have yeast infections or to prevent yeast infections.
Avatar f tn When you douche you have chances of upsetting your natural ph balance which risks infection. Since you are pregnant to u are more prone to yeast infections and bv as well. So I think it's just a bad combination. There could be other reasons as well.
Avatar f tn I have been having complications with yeast infections, someone suggested taking a natural supplemental probiotic, since I can't stomach yogurt, has anyone ever done so while pregnant? I've read online and can't seem to get a straight answer.
Avatar n tn yeast infection!
Avatar f tn Is anybody getting yeast infections as often as you cure them? Im 6 months pregnant and I have never had this many yeast infections in my life. I only bathe with dial soap and the doctor said I shouldnt take baths, nothing but showers. Can anybody help me with some remedies or something to help with the yeast infections ??
Avatar f tn If you have a yeast infection the doc told me that Monstat is good to use while pregnant but I would have it checked out by the doc 1st b/c that's what I thought I had 2 & it wasn't that. I had Bacterial Vaginouses. Don't ask what that is I have no clue. I get the weirdest things down below. I am always getting UTI's and I was tested positive for the Group B Strep too. Lucky me, right.
Avatar f tn What is ok to take for a yeast infection? I don't go to the Dr. Til Tuesday. I heard the one time fluconazole pill cause birth defects. Don't know how true it is just wanna be safe. Or should I try monistat 7. Im scared to take any kind of pills while pregnant I don't even take Tylenol I use home remedies. Im a ftm & curious.
Avatar f tn Has anyone had multiple yeast/BV infections? I've had 3 so far and I think I'm having another! I'm going to ob tomorrow and I'm sure I'll get some meds. It's frustrating. Anyone Else?!?! Please help.
324372 tn?1222820202 Hi Lexima about your question on Monistat. I've never used while being PREGNANT.... but recently I got a yeast Infection from the increased amount of discharge due to pregnancy and MY OB/GYN prescribed a medicine that is 3 day regimen and work GREAT, the name is TERCONAZOLE Vaginal Cream. I was also prescribed this 3day regimen medicine for yeast infection for my first pregnancy which was from another OB/GYN. BEST OF LUCK, I HOPE I'M NOT RESPONDING LATE TO YOUR QUESTION.
Avatar f tn Also regular Greek yogurt it has to be cold once it dries up wash it off at least 3 times a day or insert it into your vagina wear a pad n it will bring down the yeast n wash up you may want to get a big bucket bc being pregnant you can continuously have yeast infections
Avatar f tn Nope can't do that stuff no more while pregnant. Sounds like a yeast infection which is normal to get while pregnant u need to speak with ur Dr to get the cream and antibiotic that is safe for ur baby.
Avatar n tn The dreaded BV!!! Hate it, I have suffered with BV for years on and off. Home remedies I was advised about from my nurse was bathing using no scented oils etc just salt in the water. The salt helps bring ur bodys ph level back to normal! Works for me.Also garlic tablets also help !!!!
Avatar f tn I too struggle with yeast infections while pregnant. Everytime I would have sex I'd get one too. It's like I'm allergic to my husband when I'm pregnant!! LOL!! I would always shower in the morning before work. And I would only use a feminine was wash by like Monistat or Massengil (I know I spelled that wrong) that is hypoallergenic. When I would get home from work, I would always take a bath. Nothing long.
1138188 tn?1312341243 I am 23 weeks pregnant and seem to be getting recurring yeast infections! I have used the OTC medications and honestly have never really been comfortable with it! I am wondering if there is any other at home treatment i can try thet will be safe for my baby and I?
Avatar f tn t use over the counter creams or douches while using natural remedies these can upset the balance and will have an impact on your natural treatment. No drinking alcohol or smoking these create acidic buildup in the body. These are thought to be the root cause of bv. Starting eating more green vegetables and take a vegetable supplement. Cut out as many processed foods as you can.
Avatar f tn I get them often and even more so being pregnant, there are some natural remedies that help, (these were suggested by my doctor) however I know they might sound a bit odd, first try plain yogurt down there, this can soothe any itching. Another is wash yourself out with white vinegar in warm water and after youve gotten all the discharge clean out with normal water (this helps regulate the ph balance).
Avatar n tn s disease is usually not a disease treated successfully with just herbal remedies, including Supraglan. Generally, herbal remedies for Cushing's disease are most beneficial as adjuncts to traditional remedies. Supraglan is fine as an adjunct to traditional therapy and ideally may even help reduce the amount of traditional medication that your dog requires, but there are no guarantees.
385161 tn?1270081218 I keep getting infections and its driving me nuts!!! I have always been a very healthy person before pregancy i never had any of these infections, most of them i'd never even heard of help!! When I was 6 weeks pregnant i got my first yeast infection....then after the monistat i still had discharge and was diagnosed with bacterial vaginosis, i was given vaginal inserts again (this time prescription for bv.) so i finished that up and got another yeast infection....
Avatar m tn I have been having recurrent yeast infections for the past 8 months (about once a month) and I noticed that the very first time I ever got it it was very painful and itchy, but as its progressed over the past 7 months, they have decreased in severity and intensity. I have one right now and its not very itchy at all, just the usual discharge which also isn't very much.
Avatar m tn No douching. Cotton underwear. No underwear at night. No soaps. No antibiotics. Stopped taking the pill 3 weeks ago. My doc said dietary changes and probiotics don't have any evidence for yeast infections. Although I have tried to take probiotics. I have done some of the natural remedies, but no effect. Maybe the garlic will work. I'm 27 so I can't use my parents insurance. This just doesn't seem normal. To have such a PROLONGED problem with this.
Avatar f tn Could be a yeast infection. Yogurt is good for yeast infections but if it's that bad, you need medication. I would call your Dr. Don't wait it will only get worse.
