I belive I have a vaginal yeast infection.
The entire area iches like you’d never belive and burns a little. No foul smelling discharge, but a little different smelling then normal. Burns a little when I urinate, but I think that’s just because of they itchy rash from the infection.

I got medication for it. It’s in a tube that you insert into your vagina and push the cream up. Resembling a tampon.
My opening is very very small. I generally can’t use tampons because it hurts. Yes, it will stretch over time. But this is a three day treatment. Is there any other way to get rid of this infection?
I used the first tube last night at 4am. I haven’t noticed a difference yet.
I’m looking for another way to heal this, since using this tube is VERY painful.

My boyfriend has been taking an antibiotic for a while now and we recently found out that he has a yeast infection. He has been having testicular pain as well and we were wondering: Could that be from the yeast infection or should we be worried about something more serious?

I’ve had bad experience with department store and perscription yeast infection treatments, so I turned to a more natural, at home alternative.

I stumbled upon acidophilus. I took a tablet, and within 5 minutes my symptoms were gone. No more itching, discharge, or soreness. I was amazed.

I didn’t take one the next day, and the symptoms came back, although not as bad as they had been. The day after that I took another one, and once again, the symptoms were gone.

I’m wondering if the tablets are curing the infection, or just providing temporary relief of the symptoms? Any input/experience is appreciated.

If they are actually curing the infection, how long should I continue to take the capsules, and how many billion bacteria can I ingest per day? (my capsules are 2 billion)
