How do I get rid of the start of a yeast infection?!
Question: How do I get rid of the start of a yeast infection.?
I don't have a full blown yeast infection. I am starting to get itchy and some white discharge is appearing. The last time I had a yeast infection, I douched and it somewhat helped. I have also heard of putting plain yogurt on your vagina to soothe the itching, but that never really appealed to me. Sad to say, I don't have the money to go out to the store and buy Vagisil or Monostat. Does anyone know of any ways to get rid of a yeast infection at home as soon as possible.? My doctor's office is a 2 hour drive (only because that's where my health insurance is) and it's an extremly long wait to be seen. The last time I had a yeast infection, I just waited it out for two weeks and it finally went away. I have a rodeo competition this weekend, I can't have a yeast infection! Any serious answers or advice would be awesome! Thank you all so much!Health Question & Answer

Hey hon. Well, I don't know of alot of home rememdies that would get rid of a yeast infection, those things are usually pretty tricky to get rid of without treatment. I would recommend those monistat creams, they are really good for getting rid of yeast infections. They don't really cost too much, like ten fifteen dollars. I think you need to try to find the money and do that, cuz otherwise your just gonna have to suffer and see if it goes away on its own. My yeast infections never went away without treatment. also, to prevent future yeast infections from coming back, trying eating a container of yogurt every day, thats really good for fighting infections and preventing them from coming back. also, Im not sure, but I wouldn't recommend douching. I think douching can actually cause yeast infections more in women who do that. good luck to you. Hope you get rid of it.Health Question & Answer
Take acidopholus pills & eat a lot of yogurt.Health Question & Answer
yes yogurt actually works! it helps with the itching so much! so just try it... also putting a raw clove of garlic helps draw out the infection. also what i do is i use tea tree oil and that seems to help it. you can also use echenasa and goldenseal herbs along with probotics (with multi-strains) really helps! and ever since i have been using colloidal silver i have not had one!Health Question & Answer
