Answers:
Go to Planned Parenthood or a women's clinic, they base your payment on your income. If you make less than $10,000 a year, they don't hardly charge you anything, trust me. I used to get free exams and STD tests all the time before I started making more money. You have to go and get a pap smear, and see what is really wrong. You might cause irreversible damage to your reproductive system if you don't.Health Question & Answer
If it is a yeast infection you can go to a natural food store and get a yeast infection kit. A good kit should have suppositories,cream for the outside, and oral pills that are healthy bacteria that fight off the bad bacteria. Then watch what you eat for the week you are doing the treatment. Don't eat fruit,starches,rice,bread,noodles, or really anything that has yeast in it. You can starve the infection out of your body. If it is a bladder infection drink lots of water and start taking milk thistle and cranberry. It cleans the liver and will clean your urinary tract. Alot of infections in the body can be from the liver not working properly. Milk thistle cleans,protects,and promote healthy functioning of the liver.Health Question & Answer
You can fix this with diet and never get another infection again. Eliminate white bread from your diet and start eating a live culture low sugar yogurt. This will eliminate the excess yeast in your body and provide healthy flora for your GI tract. Do a search for 'candida' for more foods to choose and avoid. You can also get a probiotic from your health food store, it might be necessary to get rid of the infection. Health Question & Answer
