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?!

First of all, I am 100% sure this is a yeast infection, I had it confirmed by a doctor. I’ve had a constant yeast infection for almost two years, so I’m going to go ahead and say it’s pretty severe! I’ve tried Diflucan I believe it’s called. I took one prescription pill and it did nothing, so I was put on them for a month, and it still did not get rid of it. I also used a kind of topical cream that you have to deposit in the vagina, I was on that twice, and it did nothing, and I used Canestan and Monistat too with no luck. I don’t have the worst diet. I do indulge in unhealthy foods here and there but I have a good amount of fruits and veggie’s in my diet. I heard that garlic may help, but something about putting a garlic clove in my vagina seems a bit…wrong My reasoning is that if I tried all of those prescription medications then why the h#!! would garlic work!?! However I eat a lot of yogurt and I take garlic tablets to get it in my system. Does anybody have any medications or natural remedies that worked, or has anybody had a severe yeast infection and gotten rid of it? I am absolutely tired of it!

I have a yeast infection, but I don’t have insurance so I can’t go see a doctor. I was searching the net, & apparently there is a lot of controversy about Monistat, etc. I was just wondering if anyone has used an OTC treatment to cure the infection, and if so, which one? Thanks so much.

Im 12….
Okay, so, I went to the doctor pondering a yeast infection or a vaginal infection. She just took a swab on the inside of my vagina (not an internal) and guessed it was a yeast infection (I had the burning/itching and clumpy discharge). She said take a treatment.
So, we bought a Monistat 3 day treatment, and all seemed well during the few days. The symptoms went away…and I seemed fine.
But then, about a day after, I’ve got itching again. It is itching rather than burning, and it’s itchy a lot. Every couple minutes I’ll have to scratch. My discharge has been more white, but not clumpy.
What is this?
Where going back to the doctor soon, and I know it isnt a UTI because we tested for it at the doctor.
I am awaiting my period (still).
Thanks!
Im not sexually active. Why would i be?

I’m not pregnant (or I may be… don’t want to jinx it!!) but I hear that a lot of pregnant women get yeast infections… why is this??? Can you use "normal" medication to cure it?
