Question

this is personal
but i have no idea what im supposed to do !?
i have a yeast infection ( yuck) but i dont know how to
get rid of it?
i asked my mom but she doesnt know either !!!

any home remedies for it ???

Answer 1

Over the counter remedies work from 3-7 days depending on the type (also messy), you could call your Dr. and ask for a prescription, eat lot's of yogurt! There is a natural enzyme called Acidopholos (something close) that will help you return your natural balance and continue it.

Answer 2

Go to Walgreens and the have a lot of medicine for yeast infections. Monistat- 7 in one. Now home remedies. Your mom doesn't know or she doesn't want to tell you. Go to the store and buy some cream to relieve the itching.

Answer 3

I work for an OB/GYN and fertility specialist. Do not try a home remedy. It's risky at best. Usually we have our patients use Monistat 7. If after 7 days you feel no relief, a doctor can prescribe you diflucan, which will clear it up in 3 to 6 days.If you're miserable, go to the dr. ASAP-you don't even want to know how gross these things can get.

Answer 4

like everyone said try Monistat, but DO NOT do what that other person said and stick yogurt up there! that is ridiculous because putting food up there will just bring more bacteria and create an even worse infection. try monistata or the doctor. thats about it.

Answer 5

there are many ways to get rid of yeast infections. take a over-the-counter medication like monistat or whatever brand you prefer. its pretty simple and not a big deal, you will be able to get rid of it in like a day or two.

Answer 6

the easiest thing to do is go to the dr. and they will give u something for it, i dont know if the phamacy can give u any thing with out a Rx. though you may want to go to the dr. just to make sure it is a yeast infection and not something else.

Answer 7

yogurt. it has bacterial in it. and it will help. my friend got an yeast infection when she was on antibiotics and her dr told her to eat yogurt to put the bacteria back in her body. there is also an ontment at the store. but i cant remember what it is called.

How is it treated?
A vaginal yeast infection is usually treated with an antifungal cream or suppository that is put into the vagina or a single-dose antifungal tablet taken by mouth.

Nonprescription vaginal medications are available for treating a vaginal yeast infection; vaginal boric acid capsules are another option. If you have had a vaginal yeast infection before, are not pregnant, and are certain your present symptoms are the same as during the previous infection, you can self-treat your infection. If you have a yeast infection that keeps returning despite treatment, see your health professional. A recurring yeast infection can be a sign of another health problem.

Yeast infections are common during pregnancy. If you are pregnant, do not use any medication without first discussing your symptoms with your health professional.


What is a vaginal yeast infection?
A vaginal yeast infection is an excess growth of yeast cells in the vagina. Yeast infections are very common in women of childbearing age but can occur at any age. Although they can be uncomfortable, vaginal yeast infections rarely lead to serious health problems.

What causes a vaginal yeast infection?
A healthy vagina normally contains many bacteria and small numbers of yeast cells. The most common bacteria found in the vagina, Lactobacillus acidophilus, help prevent other organisms, such as yeast, from growing in excess and causing an infection. About 70% to 90% of yeast infections are caused by a strain of yeast called Candida albicans.1, 2

When there is a change in the normal balance of organisms in the vagina, yeast can overgrow, causing symptoms. This imbalance can be caused by many factors, including use of broad-spectrum antibiotics for other conditions, high estrogen levels (such as during pregnancy or hormone replacement therapy), or certain medical conditions, such as diabetes or HIV infection.

What are the symptoms?
The most common symptoms of a vaginal yeast infection are:

Vaginal itching.
Irritated genital skin.
Pain or burning in the genital area with urination or sexual intercourse.
In some cases, white vaginal discharge that is usually curdlike and odorless. Some women have no noticeable discharge.
Symptoms of a vaginal yeast infection are more likely to occur during the week before a menstrual period.

How is a vaginal yeast infection diagnosed?
Vaginal itching and a white vaginal discharge that is odorless and looks like cottage cheese are classic signs of a vaginal yeast infection. However, it's easy to misdiagnose a vaginal infection. If your symptoms are not typical of a yeast infection, you aren't certain of your diagnosis, or you're pregnant and have symptoms, see your health professional. A vaginal exam and possibly a culture of vaginal discharge can help diagnose whether another type of organism is present.

How is it treated?
A vaginal yeast infection is usually treated with an antifungal cream or suppository that is put into the vagina or a single-dose antifungal tablet taken by mouth.

Nonprescription vaginal medications are available for treating a vaginal yeast infection; vaginal boric acid capsules are another option. If you have had a vaginal yeast infection before, are not pregnant, and are certain your present symptoms are the same as during the previous infection, you can self-treat your infection.

Yeast infections are common during pregnancy. If you are pregnant, do not use any medication without first discussing your symptoms with your health professional.

Can vaginal yeast infections recur?
Yes. A yeast infection is considered to be recurrent if within 1 year you have four or more infections that cause symptoms and are not related to antibiotic use. Severe or persistent yeast infections are a problem for about 5% of affected women and can be related to diabetes, pregnancy, or another health condition.2

If you have a recurrent vaginal yeast infection, your health professional may do a culture to confirm that yeast is present. You may also be tested for certain conditions that could be making you more vulnerable to yeast overgrowth, such as diabetes or HIV infection.

Answer 9

Go to your drug store and buy Monostat...it can be bought with out an prescription and really works. It used to be sold only with a prescription, but it worked so well without side effects it can be bought by anyone.

Answer 10

first off, make sure that it is. if you have never had one before, you need to go to a doc. you can try monostate and overthecounter stuff, also (and this will sound gross) stick PLAIN yogurt up there before you go to bed(wear protection). eating sugar free yogurt and taking acidophillius daily will help to balance you out. there is one more thing to try but is hard to explain this way
