yeast-infection

Avatar f tn 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 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 am 16 weeks and I have been constantly keeping a yeast infection with this pregnancy. I took the meds the doctor prescribe but it goes away and come right back. Is it normal or should I try some home remedies? I didn't have this while pregnant with my son.

Avatar f tn ) Also the symptoms of the infection cause you to itch pretty bad both on the inside and outside of your vagina, when left untreated it can even begin to sting or burn. during the time that I was pregnant I DID get yeast infections and you can get them while pregnant however my symptoms were mild compared to the other time I had them and discharge was a whitish clear color.
Avatar f tn has one experienced this? What natural remedies can i use or food i cn eat or stop eating to atleast make it better...I'm dying of the itchiness!!!
Avatar m tn There are some natural remedies such as inserting garlic, lemon juice and yogurt but generally putting anything into the vagina worries me as it can compound the problem. Question, can you call your mom and perhaps see a gyno under their insurance?? Just for second opinion?
Avatar f tn Good Morning All- I am looking for natural flea and tick remedies. After a lot of research, I am afraid of the treatments I have been getting from our vet through the years. They work, but my fear is the toxins that come with them. Does anyone out there have any suggestions for natural remedies that really work. Thanks and have a great day.
Avatar f tn Douching upsets the natural balance of bacteria and yeast in your vagina and will cause infections. 2. Avoid bread and sugary foods as much as possible. If there is yeast in your vagina it is in the rest of your body too and sugar will just feed it. 3. Use condoms if you have sex. You CAN give a yeast infection to a guy (they usually get no symptoms) and then he will just keep passing it back to you. 4. Eat yogurt with live cultures in it - sugar free is best, but any kind helps. 5.
Avatar f tn i dont know of any home remedies..
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 f tn how do i safely treat yeast infection? Is there a natural supplement to help during pregnancy?
Avatar f tn My most helpful things: 1) Anti-inflamatory diet. Can't say enough good about this. No stabbing pain since the diet change. I have lost 10 lbs. and feel really good. 2) Pro-biotics. 40 bucks at a health food store. Re-introducing all the good bacteria that the anti-biotics destroyed along with the bad. I feel like it is restoreing my immune system. 3) Calcium Benzonite Clay. (or healing clay) also from a Health Food Store. Applied to the breast like a poltice. Draws the infection out.
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 m so glad you are interested in natural remedies for yeast infections, because although sometimes it is okay to use antifungal medications, it's preferable to avoid them for a multitude of reasons. Basically, you have a garlic clove, you peel the crusty skin off of it, cut off the dry parts and insert. It doesn't have anywhere to go, and if you bear down like you are having a bowel movement or urinating it is likely to come out (though, you might have to reach up and grab it...
Avatar f tn 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 ??

Sometimes its tacky, sometimes its clear, sometimes its really really dry, sometimes it smells BAD!! Sometimes it smells like yeast. It acts up when i have sex also. Please someone tell me what to do. Im to broke to go to a doctor.
Avatar n tn My gf gets yeast infections regularly and has been told her body doesn't produce enough friendly bacteria. So, we think the two of these tie together. It affects our sex life and I know there are remedies to increase the friendly bacteria, can you recommend some good ones?
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.

Avatar f tn I began having constant UTI/Kidney infections and then I would get a yeast infection. I went to the natural health food store here in my town and I was told to take a pro biotic and that should help. I take PB 8, it works great and I also try to drink at least one glass of cranberry juice per day and eat lots of yogurt especially when your taking your antibiotic so it can replace the good bacteria so you don't get yeast infections. Here is the link for the PB 8, it works great http://www.
Avatar m tn i know a thing or two about yeast infections but as for the redness around the vulva thats new to me. it could be due to an infection coming from the yeast infection or probably due to other factors in her life. the best i can offer is to try and keep clean that area and to make sure she does not wear clothes that are too restraining in the crotch region, she needs to let it breath alittle down there and wear cotton undies. comfort and clean is the way to go.
