Two night now I have been shoving garlic up my vagina to get rid of my yeast infection,but it still itch slightly but it helps alot. I was wondering how long should I do this? I have this yeast infection for a really long time so i figure it will take me a long while to get rid of all the yeast in me. Since I try the garlic my vagina dicharge is a watery fluid, is that a sign of improvement? help plz?? I really don’t want to go to the doctor. Lets stick with the garlic remedy

Ever since I have joined the military 2 years ago, I have been suffering from reoccurring yeast infections and bacterial vaginosis. I have taken Diflucan (Fluconazole) and Metronidazole (flagyl) and every other medicine you can think of with no positive results. Anybody in the military knows that they don’t really try and get to the root of the problem, they will just give you the medicine and send you on your merry way. I read an article on using a clove of garlic and vaginally inserting it to cure yeast infections. Has anybody ever personally tried it? What are some other natural remedies that I can use to treat a yeast infection so that I won’t have to continually go back to medical?
I think what the problem stems from is the fact that when I work, I’m sweating and slaving for hours and all the moisture down there isn’t good. I only wear cotton underwear and I can change my underwear anywhere for 2-4 times a day because it’s so hot. I work on helicopters and so I don’t have the leisure of sitting all day in an air conditioned room.
Monika, I use to be in the medical field prior to joining the military and it is a fact that garlic is a somewhat natural antibiotic. Recall how Louis Pasteur used it in his laboratory studies when coming up with an effective way of killing of bacteria and certain fungi. Allicin, one main compound in garlic, effectively fights off infection. I just want to know if anybody has ever tried it and the results they’ve gotten back from it.

sorry to post this gross question
but okay, i have a recurring yeast infection
i had it about a month ago and monistat ‘cured’ it, but its back already. This time it’s less severe so I figured instead of getting ripped off by the expensive monistat I’d try something new
I heard natural cures like yogurt or garlic work better. So today I tried them (both) and i actually feel WAY better, it feels like its gone, but of course I probably have to keep doing it right? Anyone know how long I have to keep applying this?

I have read a lot of testimonials about using garlic to cure a yeast infection… well i am simply not comfortable with inserting a clove of garlic in my glory hole for a few reasons… but I would be willing to eat the garlic. Does this work just as well? and how should i eat it or prepare it?
Thanks!

Hello, I read on google that you can put garlic in your vagina overnight to get rid of the yeast infection. Does it really work, has anyone tried it?
