WITH OUT GOING TO A DOCTOR...
2007-04-19 15:25:43 · 14 answers · asked by Anonymous in Health ➔ Diseases & Conditions ➔ STDs
I would highly suggest you see a doctor if possible.
But, if you can't, the best way to cure a yeast infection is by using an anti-fungal medication such as Monistat. You can find this at any local drug store.
Also, eating yogurt can sometimes help (I wouldn't completely rely on this though). Yogurt contains live culture in it which helps balance the "good" bacteria and the "bad" bacteria in the vagina.
Good luck!

I usually use the drugstore version of Monistat 3. The active ingredient is miconazole. I prefer the pre-filled applicators to the suppositories because I have had the suppositories slip out before the coating dissolves. A word of advice in case you haven't used this product before...put a sanitary napkin on because the medicine will leak out a little. There are also a lot of homeopathic remedies, such as plain yogurt or garlic, but I have never tried those. Hope this helps and that you're feeling relief soon.
I just want to make sure that I am giving you the best advice...are you sure it's a yeast infection? Some other problems, such as STDs, cause the same symptoms. Also, if you frequently have this problem, it may be a symptom of another illness, such as diabetes. Not to scare you, but, in good conscience, I had to add this in :) I know seeing a doctor can be expensive and/or awkward, but, unfortunately, sometimes they are the only ones who can help.

Put yeast in the search for questions. Presumably vaginal yeast infection? Yogurt internally and externally. See the other answers for how to apply yogurt externally (tampons sound the best).

Over the counter stuff, just go to your pharmacy and ask or look in the female hygiene area..I think you should know that if you have ever had a yeast infection before..Are you sure it is only a yeast infection?

Go to the store and buy an over-the-counter remedy for vaginal yeast infections- like Monistat. Plan on paying about $12-16.

There are several products you can find at the drug store, such as Monostat (which I find to be the best one). It also comes with a little tube you can put in your purse for the itching that goes along with it for day-time use. I personally don't like the one-day treatment one, as I feel too much infection could still be lingering around.
Good luck!

You can get stuff over the counter like monistat or something like that. it's kind of expensive around $15 but you just put this plastic thing in you and you shoot up the creme and it's all gone. they have different ones you can buy (1 day, 3 day, and 7 day treatments) they say the 7 day ones work the best, but i've always used the 1 days and they work just fine.
