I know this is gross, but I have searched like crazy and can’t find the answer. I got my first small yeast infection and found a ton of info saying that yogurt (and putting a garlic clove up there is supposed to work, too) could cure a yeast infection, and to actually put yogurt down there and…inside. Well, I got desperate and actually did it. I also did the garlic for 3 nights.

I keep checking myself to see if the white discharge is gone, but I am still finding some white stuff, which is not lumpy like they say yeast infections are (but it is definitely white, and not something else), no yeasty smell, and is almost like a liquidy texture.

Is this the yogurt coming out still? It’s been about two days since I did that treatment (the frozen yogurt tampon). How do other people get the yogurt out? Does it come out naturally? Get absorbed? If I only find a tiny bit of that and maybe one small (I mean tiny) bit of yeast, am I pretty much home free?

Also, I bought Actimel (euro version of DanActiv) which is a yogurt drink with lots of live cultures. Will drinking, say, 8 small bottles of this in the course of a day for a few days help curing this along?

I know this is a lot, but the question about getting the yogurt out is the most important! What is supposed to happen?!

i am using plain yogurt with live cultures on a tampon inserted into the vagina a couple times a day. i can’t find any information online about how quickly this remedy will work.

Does plain yogurt with live active cultures yada yada or apple cider vinegar or peroxide really get rid of a yeast infection, sooth or cure it?
HOW LONG??? should you use them or should they take to work

I just want to know, from women who have had experience with thrush, and have tried this yoghurt method, does it actually work?
I read from an answer here already that its been suggested, and several other sites I’ve been to related to thrush treatment all suggest or recommend using plain yoghurt with active cultures and a tampon.
Some say leave it in for 5 minutes, others say an hour, which is it? One site said 1 tsp of the yoghurt, but then I thought, how are you meant to get 1 tsp of yoghurt, onto a tampon? I doubt that it will, but yoghurt applied internally there can’t do permanent, or any sort of damage can it?

I’m 15 years old and this is my first time getting one of these. I’ve had it for about a month now and it’s driving me crazy. First i researched everything i needed to know about it. First I changed my diet to were i eat ALOT of plain yogurt with billions of live active cultures( ive eaten about 5 tubs of it) and cutting sugar completely out of my diet (and fewer carbs). I got it for using scented soap down there. Then i went to the store and bought the monistat 3, but i took advantage of it and ate all i could XD. So that caused it to fail. Then like a week later i tried the 1 dose and i don’t know if it worked because im still itching. My discharge is clear but the yeast seems to be only on the outside.. i tried pouring vingar on it but that just caused me to cry and scream.. Today i went to the store and bought another brand called "Natures Cure" it was alot more expensive than the monistat 7 and it came with natural tablets that balance the yeast in your body, relieve itching and other symptoms, and it cures it, it also came with 3 doses of 200mg suppositories and the external itching cream. should i use it? i know i have a yeast infection but i think it’s just on the outside. should i use it anyway? or does someone know of something that can cure the outside? natural tips would be good since not all over the counter items seem to be working for me.

P.S. going to the doctor is completely out of the question for me!!
I do not have a mom and if i tell my dad he will automatically assume that i am having sex and he’ll beat the crap out of me XD
