Eat lots of plain yoghart. i wouldn't use anything, even over the counter before talking to your doctor. i don't think you're supposed to put anything like that in there while you're pregnant.

If that is indeed a yeast infection, proper treatment would have been antimycotics. Candidiasis or yeast infections are triggered by fungus and antibiotics is not the right medication. Nevertheless, It would be better for you to use natural remedies at this point in time. I bet you've been using antibiotics to an extent already and you wouldn't want to bring more damage to your immune defenses or the bacterial flora of the vagina. Natural remedies would inhibit the growth of fungus as well as treat an underlying cause to such infection. If you want to know more, feel free to visit the link below.
And btw, it would be good for you and your partner to abstain from sex for awhile until the symptoms clear.

first you need to make sure that it is a yeast infection because it could be other things. there is an over the counter test where you just swab your vagina and it will turn a certain color if it is a yeast infection. you can take acidophilus pills which is just a bacteria that eats the yeast. it is the same bacteria that is found in yogurt. so you could also eat a lot of yogurt but, like i said, it may not be a yeast infection.

Are you sure it's a yeast infection? If you are, then you can probably use those over-the-counter creams and stuff that they make for that. But I would call the doctor and ask them about alternatives to antibiotics, rather than just trusting the people on here. Your doctor should approve whatever you are putting in your body in the way of medication.

Have u seen you doctor? Because this does not sound like a yeast infection.This sounds like something else.But for a yeast infection there is this cream at Walgreen's that u can rub down there for a certain amount of time and it will go away.

You and your boyfriend might be passing the infection back & forth to each other.Yes,guys can get yeast infections too especially if they are not circumsized.Go to the doctor & get it checked out & you can also buy anti-itch cream over the counter like Monistat

You shouldn't be having sex while you have an infection...you are only making it worse!! Get some vagisil cream to help with the itching and buring!! i'm sure you could go a few days without having sex...for god sakes give your body a rest!

well, for one, antibiotics are for bacterial (not yeast) infections
for two, burning when you pee isn't normally a symptom of a yeast infection as far as i've ever heard.
go get checked out by your doc.
(kinda sounds like trich--an std)
