female only Yeast Infections

[Oregondaisy 2,021]

Like I don't have enough problems with UTI's since I got a BF and started having sex again, now I have a screaming yeast infection! This is so not fair.

I went without a relationship for 3 years since my last BF and I broke up.

I have had burning crotch syndrome for the last month. OK probably way

too much information.

Carry on.:sleep::confused:

Drink tons of Water since you are already prone to problems. After your body adjusts to . . . . renewed activity, you will probably be less likely to keep having problems.

[Oregondaisy 2,021]

That would be nice if my body would just co-operate. I don't want to give up sex cause I am so attracted to this guy. I do drink tons of Water because it was a requirement of my dr. to drink 64 oz of Water a day. I drink more than that.

I hope I find some answer. somebody told me to take garlic capsules. They said they acted like a natural type antibiotic. I am open to all suggestions.

Natural Health Remedies & Detox: Cure Yeast Infection with Natural Remedy

[Fanny Adams 7]

I haven't had the problem in several years but I used to suffer from it often. Some things that helped me: Put a cup of vinegar into a warm bath and soak for a while. If you're really sore and inflamed, it might sting a bit getting in but it soothes the itch enormously and brings the inflamation down. The other trick is slathering plain natural yoghurt on yourself before you go to bed - wear a pair of old undies that you don't mind staining, then shower thoroughly in the morning - no soap!! Avoid using soap down there - lots and lots of flushing with Water does the job just as well. The aim of all of these is to change your pH levels - fungus likes an alkaline environment, you need to change it to slightly acidic to kill off the growth.

And eat yogurt for the good bacteria. When I was proned to YI, I began using Ivory since it has no perfumes; I won't use any other kind of soap now.

[Oregondaisy 2,021]

Thanks for the suggestions. I would have never thought to apply yogurt in that place to help out with yeast.

I just hope I don't get another UTI. So far so good, but I just finished my antibiotics.

[Fanny Adams 7]

"So far so good, but I just finished my antibiotics."

That sounds like your cause, right there. Going on a course of antibiotics is almost guaranteed to lead to thrush for me. :tongue_smilie: Google "antibiotics thrush", I'll bet you find a number of medical articles that support that link too.

i once had one that went on forever. the only thing that finally killed it so it wouldn't come back was a prescription vaginal cream. i don't remember the name because it was a while ago, but that did it. i had tried the yogurt, vinegar and garlic. i think these things are good to do once its gone, to ward off a reoccurance. but to kill a really stubborn one sometimes you need a prescription cream like i did. good luck, i know that it's a torture when that itch is down there.

[Oregondaisy 2,021]

I finally had to get a pill from the dr. I did all the over the counter

yeast medications which helped, but not enough. The pill (don't know

how to spell it) dyflucan got rid of it.

I'll probably get another one cause I will more than likely get another UTI.

I have an appointment at the beginning for Aug. to see a Urologist.

Any type of probiotic should work. I had this awful problem about two months ago... I went to the doctor & took what they gave me exactly when they told me to take it, but it didn't help. My mom suggested Probiotics & now I have a happy vagina!

[Oregondaisy 2,021]

Yes, I take probiotics. My main problem is that I get a UTI every time I have sex and that brings on the yeast infection from the antibiotics. I am disgusted.

[Cerrin 3]

For UTI drink cranberry juice. My sister used to get them all the time. This is a great easy cure for UTI

Be careful Yeast infections can be carried from a guy to a girl and back again. So if you have it and your having sex...your guy has it and is going to give it right back to you.

[Oregondaisy 2,021]

Oh really? What do I need to do to get rid of his? I don't want to have that come back. It was awful!
