One of my co-workers told me this story about one of her friends who had maggots in her vagina, I thought this story was ridiculous because she said her friend said it was caused by a yeast infection, could this really happen?

Maggots are insect larva, they do not come from yeast.

No, maggots are eggs or larvae of flies. Unless flies are entering her vagina, and laying eggs she cannot get maggots from a yeast infection.

Hello, I'm on the second week and seeing definite improvement on my yeast infection symptoms:

Note that: If the yeast infection doesn't respond to over the counter treatment, prescription medication will likely be necessary. Similarly, if the symptoms return after two months of being treated, you should contact the doctor for professional treatment rather than resorting again to home treatment.

If this is the first time you have experienced a yeast infection, you should schedule an appointment to have the condition treated by a doctor instead of resorting to home treatment

NO - your co-worker told you a particularly disgusting urban legend. You can't get maggots in your vagina from a yeast infection - you can only get maggots in your vagina if you die outdoors somewhere, decompose and flies lay eggs inside you (that's where maggots come from - they're young flies)

girl do your coworker know what maggot is, maggots are worms formed from dead decaying flesh. even if someone has a yeast infection it is not likely for them to get maggots, maybe she has leoprosy or some alien illness. tell your coworker to tell her friend to stay away from NY. we don't want that, NY we don't want that around around.

maggots live on dead flesh, not live yeast. No, it isn't possible and I suspect your "co-worker" was just trying to gross you out.
The yeast would eat the maggots if a fly managed to crawl in and lay eggs, which it wouldn't have done because there is no dead flesh in the vagina.

Maggots are the larva of flys. Flys lay their eggs where the larva will be able to feed. It has noting to do with infections. The process takes time. The answer to your question is no, absolutely not.

Think about it a little more logically...

What are maggots? They're fly larvae. What do flys lay their eggs in? Decaying flesh, animal dung, manure, or pools of stagnant water. How likely is it that a fly is going to get the chance to lay an egg in your vagina? Slim to none...

I don't see this as being at all possible unless your coworkers friend was humping a week rotten sausage that had been left out for the flies to get to, and if that's the case, your coworker needs to find new friends. That's just sick.

No. That's not true and that "story" has been going around for over 30 years.

I did know of a woman who got fruit flies in her vagina. I worked in an ER. She and her boyfriend were sticking strawberries in her vagina and he was trying to get them out with his tongue. He missed 1 and it stayed in there for over 2 weeks. By the time she got to the hospital, the bugs were just disgusting.

it is possible, for any and/or all of the above reasins, if it does happen, dont get scared, maggots eat only dead skin/ flesh, you`ll need an rx if you do get this problem, easily cured
