I think I may have BV — I have heavier brownish discharge with an unpleasant odor — and I was wondering if there are any non-antibiotic cures. It might be a yeast infection, so I’ll try those remedies first, but I want to know other things to try too. I’m only 13, and I can NOT go to a gyno, I’d be mortified. I’m not overly shy about any vagina related things with myself, but other people? No freakin’ way. Sorry.
The heavy discharge is new, the unpleasant smell used to only occur after skipping showers but now it’s happening every day. I’m thinking it might be a sign of my period, which is irregular and due any day now, but I’m not positive. I’m a virgin, by the way. I tried switching soaps and that didn’t help. I used to get a burning when I washed down there, too.
The cures can be natural, store bought, home made, I don’t care. I just want advice. Please no ’see a doctor’ answers — as I said, I can’t! And no douching either, I want to solve the prob not cover it up. Thanks

My dog has a yeast infection. I had an old Golden Retriever a few years back who developed a yeast infection and the vet treated it with antibiotics plus flushing out the ears and then putting drops in them. It went away for only a short time. His health went down hill fast and he was in great pain from hip displacia. I have recently read up on a type of fungus/yeast infection called Candida Albicans. It has all the same symptoms. Part of the cure is to give an enzyme that is found in yogurt. It said to give the dog Acidophilus to build up the natural enzymes in the stomach where this infection starts. The smell from the dogs body and ears are horrible. He gnaws at his feet and skin all the time. I have read from some of you that the ear canal and the stomach are not connected but you still went on to say give the dog a non grain food. This fungus/yeast infection works its way from the stomach and makes its way to most parts of the body, especially the ears.

So am trying the ear rinse of one part white vinegar to four parts water. twice a day, one Acidophilus a day and maybe some yogurt once a week. It can’t hurt. I also give him a children s antihistamine once a day for the itching. We will see how much better (if any) this will be then what the Vet prescribed for my other dog.

I’ve been having problems down there lately, so I searched online and on a few chat sites, women said a tampon soaked in vinegar does the trick. My mom has heard of it but never tried it but women online said its worked for them. So, I put it in and it’s been in for about an hour. Hopefully this one will work. Has anyone else tried this?

Please don’t say go to a doctor, we don’t have any health insurance.
The yogurt defiantly did not work well. It just made the infection worst.

I am looking for a health food store in Toronto that sells Yeastrol…if you know please let me know.. I do not want to order online if I don’t have to…and I am looking in the internet but nothing..

Yeastrol is a natural yeast infection cure..

We all know women suffer from yeast infections. They get them, then cure them. Easy right?
My friend has had a yeast infection for a long time, so much she’s tried monstat more than four time but it keeps returning. She’s desperate to get rid. Is there any antibiotics she can take to get rid of it for good? She’s been to a doctor who told her not to use natural remodies and didn’t give her anything. She’s really at a loss. Please any professional advice would be appreciated!
