I don’t think yogurt alone will cure it. But you can buy the remedy at the drug store, You do not need a prescription. Yeast infections are nothing to be ashamed of. Almost every young woman gets them at some point in her life.
Eating yogurt will help prevent them and possibly shorten the duration, but an over the counter medicine called vagisil or monistat at the store will work better and faster. They have creams you can use, or a pill-like thing you can insert into your vagina. It’s nothing to be ashamed of, but if you don’t want to talk to your mom about it, you can get some of that medicine.
Don’t feel embarrased. Every lady gets them – some more than others. Tell your mom so you can get some medication. A 5 or 7 day treatment is best to clear it up once and for all. Yogurt is good for maintenance or to avoid them, but not enough to clear them. You definitely need some medication. Your mom will not be upset – just tell her. Yeast infections are NOT STDs.
ok, a yeast infection is total normal, it’s not related to anything nasty that you would or wouldn’t be doing, so you shouldn’t be embarassed! if you are afraid your mom will think you are too knowledgable…just play dumb. say, "mom, i feel all itchy and gross down there, what is going on? can you help me?" she’ll reach the conclusion on her own and get you the medicine.
i find that yogurt does help, but i have a little every day, and that prevents them. i don’t think it could cure one that’s already formed…but maybe??
