I have never had a yeast infection before, but I think I have one now because I have the symptoms (itchy, redness, soreness, white discharge). I have never had one before so I don’t know what could have caused it… I have been on kariva birth control for 2 years and never had a problem till now. Can that be the cause of it?? Even though I have been taking it for 2 years?? I have also been a little stressed lately, starting a new job and being far away from my boyfriend.

The problem is… I’m not on my own health insurance yet, so I’m still on my mom’s. I told my mom about going to a doctor about this and she said I should wait a couple of days and if it gets worse then we could. She has never had a yeast infection before, and she felt uncomfortable talking about it with me…. she said just take over the counter medication…

I have been using vagisil, but i did some research and that doesn’t cure yeast infections, just stops the itching. While it has done a great job with taking away the itching… I just want this stupid thing to go away! It’s driving me crazy.

I bought Monistat 1 but I am afraid of using it because of all the side effect stories I have heard online… I can’t have the side effects because I go to work almost every day and rarely get two days off in a row to recooperate…

I have no idea what to do!! Has anyone gone through the same problem?? I’m pretty sure it’s a yeast infection but every site I go to says YOU NEED TO SEE A DOCTOR IF YOU HAVE NEVER HAD ONE BEFORE… but I don’t know if I can wait the 3 or 4 days my mom wants me to wait…

Sometimes the itching is not as intense. Like right now it’s not that bad. But I have woken up in the middle of the night to such intense itching, I would not wish this upon anyone.

Does anyone have any suggestions or advice? Is there any other medication I can take that won’t scare me like how monistat is…

Or is it better just to wait to go to the doctor…

I think I have a yeast infection or bladder infection because it itches down there, and a couple of days ago I had some goopy clear when I wiped, but I do not have my period right now, and so I’m not sure if its a yeast infection or not, because there is no odor, and so is there any home remedies I can try… I cant afford to go to the doctors right now.

I read online that you can dip a tampon into yogurt and insert it for about 1 hour and that gets rid of the bad yeast, but I do not use tampons, and so is there anything else I can do or that anyone else has done to cure this?

I have never had a yeast infection so i am not 100% sure what the true symptoms are but i know these two that i have a characteristics of a yeast infection. I do not have pain or burning when i pee or pain during sex, just the unusual discharge which makes me incredibly itchy! I have had this for a couple of days now and it is definatly not normal for me. I have never really had much discharge at all before/after periods or during my teens so this is quite worrying! Theres a fair bit, but there isnt an odor or anything.

I guess things that may have triggered it may that for the first time this month i havent missed a pill, which i usually do or at least take it late, so im wondering if it might be to do with my hormones? I also have begun to have sex without a condom for the first time with my long term boyfriend and i have heard that there is sometimes a reaction to sperm when the bodys not used to it?

Have any of you had anything like this anad what was the cause/treatment?
Please dont say go to doctors because if this isnt treatable myself, or if it isnt going to go away over the weekend, obviously i will. I just dont want to turn up if it ends up being something "normal".

Thanks in advance
My boyfriend is diabetic, and i know that diabetic men often have yeast infections, even when not noticed. I reckon i could have it off him, is there a long term cure if he does have it ?

I just finished a course of anti-biotics(amoxil) for a middle ear infection yesterday and all last night and today I have been itching,sensitive, and just generally irritated down below. I am a female and fear it may have caused a yeast infection. Should I go ahead and take a yeast infection treatment or will it go away within the next couple of days? I am not sensitive down there @ all and haven’t had a yeast infection since my late teens but something is up. HELP!!
