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!

Hey,
I got a yeast infection, (arg!) and I took a Tioconazole 6.5% vaginal antifungal, 1-dose treatment in a prefilled applicator. It’s something like Monistat, but with a different active ingredient. Anyway, it made the symptoms decrease A LOT, but I also ate tons and tons of yogurt and used a yogurt and vinegar rinse and took AZO pills. So it’s been like 3 or 4 days now, and my symptoms have decreased a lot but aren’t ENTIRELY gone. It’s bareable now, but I don’t feel totally comfortable enough to have sex. Unfortunately, I just have been avoiding having sex with my boyfriend and we normally have lots of sex, so I’m pretty sure I need to hurry up and get this over with.
My question is, what should I do now? I have another 1-dose Ticonazole treatment, but they are pretty strong. Is it safe to take two? Should I take that, or should I go for at-home cures? Oh, I have also been taking 2 AZO pills a day. You’re supposed to take 3 if you have a yeast infection, but I keep forgetting to take the third. Can I double dose for faster results?
Vittorio – Lol, gross! Not enough yeast left, you should have asked me a couple days ago, I would have made you a pound cake.

I would really like to know how other people PREVENT (not cure) yeast infections from happening, epically while pregnant since our hormones are all out of whack.
Ahh thank you for the personal experience! I use to eat a lot of yogurt and got tired of it =/, I had to take antibiotics for an ear infection which made me have a super bad yeast infection that causes BV, not fun.
But, I love yogurt, I just got tired of it for a period of a year or so.
