Just wondering...those creams freak me out.


Flea.org Recommends:

Yes, most people say eat plain yogurt. But the thing is how to prevent them. First, yeast infections comes from a lot of things. too much sugar, imbalanced hormonal changes in the body, not wearing the right underwear, too much floral in the vaginal area, and or anything that irritates the vagina. You can make sure that you wipe from front to back and take showers, instead of a hot bath. keep it dry. cotton under is best. yeast grows in moist, dark areas. make sure that you are treating yeast. because sometimes women think it is yeast but it is bacterial vaginosis. that has to treated with a prescription. and also your doctor can give you a pill. i think you take it only once for that time. and it will clear up in seven days, but the symptoms you will feel relieve much earlier than seven days.

YES.. try to eat a lot of yogurt...there is a pill out there for it,many times you can call your doctor and tell them whats wrong and ask for diflucan pill. all u do is take 1 pill, nothing else cures it in the first 2 days

Yes you can buy a product called yeast defense from Nutrition Now. also stop eating all forms of sugar it will make it worse. You should also start taking some probiotics. Primadophilus by Natures Way is good. you can eat yogurt but make sure it has low sugar, even unsweetened plain yogurt has about 16 grams of sugar per serving. That is 4 teaspoons. Some people use plain unsweetened yogurt as a douche.
