I’m just getting over a yeast infection. It’s been almost a week, but my progress has been up and down due to some activities in which I have participated that have regressed my vaginal healing: swimming and white water rafting (my boyfriend and I were on vacation and I really wanted to get in all the adventure I could!). Right now I’m experiencing slight burning (on a scale of 1 – 10, a 2) around the vaginal opening and labia. I had sex last night considering I was feeling great and it didn’t hurt nor was it uncomfortable – after however, I had a little cut. I was told that dipping a tampon in yogurt and inserting that into my vagina would soothe the burn – but, would it cure it? I was going to wait until next week to see my gyn as it doesn’t seem that pressing. Right now I’m taking probiotics and oregano oil as natural anti-candida remedies. Should I refrain from sex for a few days? How long?

Your help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks and take care!

I let mine get a little out of hand. I am currently using the monistat 3 combo pack. The irritation is kinda bad,itchy, stings and such. I just need something that will help with the pain and irritation. I have plain miconazole nitrate. Please and thank you

I think I had a yeast infection, and let it go too far untreated. Can it be treated with regular store remedies?
