yeast infections treatment alternative

Alternative medicine No alternative medicine therapies have proven to treat vaginal yeast infections. Some complementary and alternative therapies may provide some relief when combined with your doctor's care. Your doctor is likely to ask you a number of questions, including: Have you recently taken antibiotics? Are you sexually active? Are you pregnant? Do you use scented soap or bubble bath? Do you douche or use feminine hygiene spray?

As Vera676 suggested, there are bacterial cultures (the same that are already ocurring naturally in your vagina) that you can get at pharmacies and that help ward of further yeast infections.

As far as I know, anti biotics are useless against 'yeast' infection. 'Yeast' is a fungus. Anti biotics are useful against 'bacterial' infections only. And the over use of anti biotics can lead to yeast infections as the anti biotics break down the body's own natural defenses. Your use of the word 'prone' makes me wonder if she has received too many anti biotics. I would suggest that you try to build up 'her' natural defense system.

On April 14th I had unprotected intercourse with another woman. The days passed and I did not think much of this encounter until a couple of weeks after the event a rash appeared on my penis. I went to a GP on May 14th and took a blood test. The doctor thought it was herpes.

Hi, I think you mean, Oral Thrush. Here's the thing, oral thrush and vaginal yeast infections are caused by the same bacteria ( a candida fungus); there's been a long running debate between researchers and also everyday people like you & me, on whether the same bacteria can be transferred from one person to another via oral sex, mouth to mouth, anal sex, vaginal sex, etc. ~ some say it can be, some still say they aren't completely convinced.
