Common Questions and Answers about Yeast infection yogurt tampon

yeast-infection

If you ladies go to google or yahoo and type in tampon dipped in yogurt for yeast infection, you'll see what I saw. Theres no way I would consider that. *shutters* lol I wonder who thought of that anyways. I'm going to try vagisil and if it doesnt help within 3 days I'll try something else. Trying to avoid the doctor right now. So, maybe itll help.

Okay, this may be TMI...but I am confused...Okay, I came down with a yeast infection on Tuesday because of some antibiotics I was on last week to prevent my onset of strep throat getting any worse. Okay, well I called the doc and they said that Monistat (sp) will be fine to take at 19 weeks. Well I took that Tuesday night around 11pm, I expected it to take around 24 hours to work. Well, 24 hours was 2 days ago! I am not sure if it is safe for me to take another dose.

I had a friend recommend using panty liners to prevent yeast infection just change them frequently like you would a pad or tampon.

Good afternoon all. I thnk i have a yeast infection i have been pretty itchy far two days now and there is white stuff in the fold if my vagina (sorry tmi) i have had only one before and i didnt even know i had it. My questions are: 1. Can i self medicate for this or must i call my doc tommorrow 2. i am also on the pill if i can self med. then will it interfer with that? 3. what brand is good?

Just don't have sexual intercourse. Wash your genital area frequently with a nonscented gel , like summers eve.

If you want to hear something funny, I even get yeast infections with condoms too. Make sure you treat your anus area too. the yeast sometimes spreads there and needs cream. make sure you wash often when treating yourself to help get rid of it faster and better and you'll feel less ithing too. also, you can use pantiliners throughout the day as the yeast cream starts to come down, so that you can help not reinfect yourself.

not to be gross but do you think you have a yeast infection and you got yeast on your finger thinking it was cotton from the tampon? i dont really think a tampon would disinigrate like that. i also think if it were still in there, you would feel it (a "thickness" in there). def. keep your eye on it. you may need to call your dr. especially since you are itching and stuff.

I read on a website that an at home remedy for yeast infections was to put yogurt in an empty tampon applicator, freeze it, then insert into your vagina. Is this something that would really work? It just seems very strange to me.

I have a yeast infection but don’t want to take any prescription meds. Does anyone know of a natural alternative I can use?

It's an ointment that you squeeze into a tube that is used like a tampon. It works for me. I've also heard of putting plain yogurt right onto the infection. I've never used that method before but hey, it might actually work. I also use extra strength vagisil. It burns but i was at the point that i'd rather feel a burning sensation rather that a painful itchy feeling. Make yogurt a part of your daily diet to help prevent anymore yeast infections.

i get bacterial vaginosis alot-its very common, the gel is probley metrogel- it works great but you should have been told that anti-biotics can cause a yeast infection and just eating yogurt with active cultures will solve this problem. The way my dr explained it to me is if there is an odor of fishlike than its an infection.

Yogurt helps, but I don't think it will make it go away unless you do a tampon of yogurt. You can look up home remidies(spelling) for yeast infections. Or try another monistat treatment.

When I had a yeast infection, I went to the gyn and he gave me a cream to use for 3 nights. I did it, thought it went away and had sex with BF a couple of times. Well my symptoms came back because BF was then infected. Guys dont show symptoms of it, so you never know. I went back to the doctor, he said no sex for 2 weeks gave me a cream and 1 pill for me to take and 1 pill for BF to take. Finally it worked.

But it's like an herbal remedy, so it's not harmful at all. As for the yeast infections, some antibiotics taken over a period of time can cause yeast infections. My mother suffers with these often and she has started taking a probiotic. It evens out the good and bad bacteria in your vagina. Also, if you douche, stop. This rids your downstairs of ALL bacteria, good and bad. And you need the good. I've never heard of anyone being allergic to semen, but I guess thats always a possibility.

After about 3 months I did a bit of research and realised I had a yeast infection but I was still too embarrassed but I found canesten so I used that but nothing happened and I even tried garlic cloves and inserting a tampon with natural plain yogurt but still no results.

I'm not so sure about eating the yogurt but I was told by a female dr that dipping a tampon in natural yogurt and inserting it works! Probably not the nicest thing to do anytime never mind actually being safe during pregnancy!

For five days straight I soaked a tampon in PLAIN white yogurt and switched tampons every four hours. It adds the good bacteria back into the mix. Trust me, it works. This helps the BV and the yeast. Hope this helps.

Do they help minimize the chances of getting yeast infections? I've been getting yeast infections for a year now, only during the summer time in new york city.When I'm at school in buffalo I'm fine. Is it the humidity? I never use to get infections before...is it because of my diet? I also think I'm lactose intolerant. It's really annoying and uncomfortable. I go visit the gyno everytime....I've tried creams. anything else others have tried to prevent these infections are most welcomed.

Antibotics does causebad yeast infections,but my DR told me to eat yogurt before I start to take the meds next time and I went and bought some and so far I haven't gotten a yeast infection good luck;)

I am 21 weeks pregnant and I thought I had a yeast infection and several obgyn visits ago I told my doctor that I get them a lot so she prescribed me some cream. The time before when I thought I had one it turned out not to be and so I didn't use the cream, but this time I did. You insert it vaginally and push like you would if it was a tampon. Sorry it this is too much info, but have no other way to describe. I have been having a lot of discharge...which is usual being pregnant...

I have never had a vaginal infection or been to the gyno, I now know that I should have gotten checked out for this. Anyway I thought it was a yeast infection. The same day that my partner had gone down on me, I cut myself pretty bad shaving down there. I read that damage to the membranes down there can cause a yeast infection, so I didn't worry too much. Within the next week or 2 I had one small cut in my vaginal fold.

Did anyone know that taking antibiotics for any kind of infection will sometimes give u a yeast infection. Did anyone know that yogurt with live active yeast cultures will help ease a yeast infection by directly putting plain yogurt on the genital area, where it will replace the natural bacteria that should be in the vagina but was killed off by antibiotics or bacteria killing antibodies found in the body. Did anyone know there are lots of reasons why a female will get yeast infections.

There was 20 pills i am currently still taking this medication, however i believe now i have a new problem I now have a yeast infection and i am married and I believe i have given my infection to my husband too, How can one prevent this reoccuring infections? what is the best treatment for the yeast infection? I also have reoccuring yeast infections around menstration time why is this? How or what should i be doing differently? Is there other treatments for yeast than creams?

My wife and I got married in January, we havent had sex in, well without pain, in 1 1/2 years. A previous doctor couldnt pick up a yeast infection. Kept telling her the pain she's been having down there was because she was "raw." I wont get into that and the pain i'd like to deliver to that doctor's face. But anyway, we have seen a specialist in Hershey PA twice over the last 2 months. He prescribed Spornox, Itraconozale...spelling on both?

As for the common belief that lots of yeast and sugar in the diet can make one more prone to get a yeast infection or make an existing infection worse, I have had experiences that confirm it. Drinking alcohol in excessive amounts always makes my yeast infection WAY worse. Also, cutting sugars, yeasts, vinagars, etc out of my diet wipes the infection out temporarily, until I start to reintroduce the carbohydtrates.

This may sound crazy, but the only time I seem to get a yeast infection is after receiving oral sex. If my boyfriend goes down 3 or 4 nights in a row I start developing one. I was just wondering if anyone else has expierencied this, or knows if there could possibly be something in his mouth causing this. (Obviously I would notice and not let him go there if is something I could see) Any suggestions would be great.

If you are clear, or you cant wait, try natural sugar-free yogurt with live bio-cultures...maybe on a tampon and insert it or even just on a finger. My last yeast infection was cause i was antibiotics and the thrush medication that always works, wasnt working, so i used the yogurt and after a few days it really helped. Use some on your partner too and see if that helps him. Also, drink only water and plenty of it...i find that if my urine is too acidic it irritates the itchyness even more.

I know this sounds crazy but we discovered that if we both eat yogurt every day the yeast infections are non-existant. Completely gone! We also discovered something else interesting: My husband is asthmatic and his inhaler kills certain bacteria in his throat which apparently can occasionally cause a yeast infection in his throat. Eating the yogurt also took care of his sore throats!

so i'm almost 100% positive i have a yeast infection right now (actually... i think it started about 2 weeks ago). however i'm in china right now and i don't think they sell monistat here. i've only ever used monistat for yeast infections... and i really don't know what they have in china (i don't just wanna use any antifungal...
