Avatar f tn So I during my check up last week my doctor informed me that I have a yeast infection. I was asymptomatic and had no clue I had one till he said so. He prescribed me an antifungal which is a class c drug. I didnt feel comfortable taking that so I did some research and found out that garlic has anti yeast properties and is natural. Since I didnt want to just be shoving garlic in my 'cooter' fearing infection etc.
Avatar f tn What's a safe not medication I can use to treat a yeast infection? I heard keeping the area dry is best, but I also heard baby powder and cornstarch aren't good to use.
1472764 tn?1287588186 Thanks everyone. Unfortunately I'm one of those people that has very bad, very severe food allergies. I'd be too scared to use the yogurt. How do you use the garlic? What about just eating a lot of garlic? I love it. I even have to stay away from sugar and yeast b/c I get infections so bad. Since I've been pregnant I've been eating a lot of both b/c its the only thing I can stand eating.
Avatar f tn I was one day on the computer and went to a herbel site which mentioned Garlic to be one of the best yeast infection cure, some women dress it in the viginal. I thought way not try it, i used to chop 1 - 2 cloves of garlic depending how big the garlic is that is. I would chop in small pieces and drink it down with water. I did this for almost two weeks. The only disadvantage is that your body will smell of garlic.
Avatar f tn This is the first time I had a yeast infection. I got a pill for it, it went away. But then it came back the next week. Did anyone go through this? Is there anything I can use?
Avatar f tn I have had a yeast infection for about 4 months now. Probably one of the worst things that has ever happened to me. I still have no idea how i got it but it is awful. I have tried monistat, fluconazole, terconazole, and just about anything you can name i have tried it. My biggest issue is the painful sex, my boyfriend and I never had trouble before I got my yeast infection and now i feel like a virgin again, it is the worst. I am really running out of answers now. My Dr.
Avatar f tn So, I've never been pregnant before... I don't know what is okay in pregnancy, but I've always just used plain Greek yogurt for yeast infections. My doctor is absolutely useless for things like that. If I call for an appointment she won't ever see me for something like a yeast infection...well, I mean she will bit they will schedule my appointment 30 days from when I need it.
Avatar f tn t hurt to urintae but when urine touches my area it burns I know it is not STDs but have no clue what type of infection I have can it be a yeast infection and should I purchase over the counter creams and save me a trip to the drs...
10038104 tn?1407750118 I think it's totally safe cuz yeast infection is very common in pregnancy so don't worry and i.
Avatar m tn Hi there, I have had my first ever yeast infection (thrush) since April 2012 and its not going away. Since April i have tried a one day tablet + cream, pessaries as well as the herbal treatments (yoghurt, garlic,etc). Since December my nurse has put me on a 6 month course whereby I take a Fluconazole 150 pill once a week. Im now halfway through this course and am seeing no improvements, how lomg does this treatment usually take to work?? And how effective is it?
Avatar f tn My period was about 3 weeks ago, I was taking penicillin for strep at the time, then used apple cider vinegar for the resulting yeast infection, now my boyfriend has a yeast infection (he's not circumsized), but I don't...
Avatar m tn u must get checked. if your positive that's a yeast infection, then there is so many ways to eliminate it. i used to have yeast infection before, i tried using natural remedies such as yogurt and such but it didn't worked. so i went to the local drugstore and get myself a garlic oil capsules/softgel. it really works for me and it also kills odor around the vaginal area.
Avatar f tn with any yeast infection you need things that women use to clear it up so maybe talk to your pharmisit about this. Also BV is the same as a yeast as its when your normal flora grow out of control.
Avatar f tn hi I was wondering if I have a yeast infection I have a wire creamy think discharge and I'm burning there and I'm itchy there aswell, it becomes really painful, any one know what it is?
Avatar f tn Just don't have sexual intercourse. Wash your genital area frequently with a nonscented gel , like summers eve.
630177 tn?1231545490 I have been experiencing extreme vaginal discomfort now for over three months with no discharge. I've used monistat a couple times with no result. I went to the doctor multiple times and this last time I told her to do a COMPLETE std scan on me. She tested for any and all STD's and all came back negative (thank God). Also, at that time I did have discharge so she tested it and said it looked like a 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 Some people and sources on the internet have told me the I can treat a yeast infection by putting a whole unbroken clove of garlic in my vagina over night. This is very weird to me. I rather just go to the doctor, but that could get expensive for women who are prone to yeast infections. I'm wondering if anyone has actually tried this garlic treatment and if it actually works or if it's just a (butter on a burn) kind of myth. Seen on www.midwiferytoday.
Avatar f tn I read that home remedies for a yeast infection are unsweetened yogurt, garlic and lots of water. I have been applying yogurt to the area once or twice a day and i tried a garlic paste but it stung super bad. I also took a hot bath with apple cider vinegar in the water last night. I guess my question is, is it normal for symptoms to come in intervals like mine have? Also any other treatments to suggest and do you guys think this is what i have? Should i try monistat or something?
Avatar f tn read up on it and decide if its something you really want to try, I have also heard (and tried) sticking a clove of garlic in the vagina. garlic kills yeast. did it for about 3 nights at bedtime and sure enough cleared up the infection, but smelt like garlic. It worked though, but the infection wasn;t horrible...
Avatar f tn Do you eat the garlic and onions to help with the yeast infection? I know that garlic is good for yeast. I have started taking a strong garlic pill. You sound like you are feeling much better. What ever happened to the last tick bite you found? Did you get tested again? On another good but scarry note. I'm going back to work Thursday. I feel ready but really, really, nervous. My job is not hard. I'm a special ed teacher and have a lot of support.
Avatar n tn Hmmm, this could be anything from a bacterial infection to an STD you need to see a doctor asap to have this diagnosed.
Avatar f tn So, I have this raging yeast infection.
Avatar f tn Yeah i was on med for uti for the length of both of my last two pregnancies... but it's been so long since I've had a yeast infection... i be drinking allot of water but starting away from Maurice because if it is yeast infection the sugar from the juice will just make it worse....
