i have recurrent yeast infections, that are smelly and uncomfterable. I don't know why the cremes prescribed by the gyn. are not effective, and never get rid of this problem. The smell is not noticed by me but I can tell other people snicker behind my back. Although [only] in one of my classes I smell something kind of indescribable, like a cheesy smell.
I just had a baby 2 months ago via cesarean section, and this problem has been ongoing for several months I think through-out the whole 9 months plus these 2 other months.
whats's the ULTIMATE cure? Should I trust these online "herbal" medications?

I get yeast infections if I use certain soaps - I now only use summers eve feminie wash for sensitive skin. I dont wear died panties (wear only white crotch panties) or If I take antibiotics. AZO now makes a yeast supplement. I bought it at walmart for about $6 I have been on antibiotics for the last 5 days and have not gotten one yet. You can take the pill along with the cream and then continue the pill for a prevention. Also I would eat yogurt but, make sure it says live cultures. These are things that combat the infection.

The ultimate cure? I can't tell you. Every woman is different, and the remedy that works for someone else may not work for you.
I'd suggest let your body breathe. Don't wear tight pants, but wear cotton underwear. Take off your panties underneath your nightgown or sleep in the nude.
Also, don't use baby powder around that area. Starch is what yeast like best. Avoid anything sugary. Yeast thrives on sugar.

I believe you may have a std. The doctor must not be telling you the right diagnosis.
