i have a yeast infection and i have read up that dipping a tampon in natural non flavoured yoghurt and and inserting it in the vagina would help heal it,
but i am also using clotimazole cream that soothes the external itch…
but if i was to use the yoghurt AS WELL, would it heal quicker?

My 2-months old boy has a mouth thrush. We did 10 days treatment with Nystatin, but the white patches are still there! My nipples are bright pink too, which is a sign they are infected.
How did you get rid of it?

I had the same problem with my son. I took him to the doctor to get him some medicine. For yourself you’ll need an antifungal cream on your nipples or they’ll start to get really itchy after each feed. You both need treatment as you will only keep reinfecting each other which is maybe why the Nystatin didn’t seem to work.

I took one 8 days ago then i took 1 four days ago and the symptoms slowed down but…not gone. I know it’s a recurring yeast infection but….i want it gone!!
i got the prescription and it said take one then take another 4 days later…so now

Fluconazole comes as a tablet and a suspension (liquid) to take by mouth. It is usually taken once a day. You may need to take only one dose of fluconazole, or you may need to take fluconazole for several weeks or longer. The length of your treatment depends on your condition and on how well you respond to fluconazole. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Take fluconazole exactly as directed. Do not take more or less of it or take it more often than prescribed by your doctor. This from http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/druginfo/medmaster/a690002.html I have had some success in keeping my body regulated by eating probiotic foods (yogurt or other foods with active culture; Kefir is very high in it…sort of like buttermilk). Good luck and make sure you follow through with your doctor because if only the strong survive, then the strongest yeast are going to be the hardest to kill if you let your antibiotic therapy not finish the job.

Possible?
How… would one know?
Protected sex?

If a man has a yeast infection, he’ll have discharge from the penis, and it’ll be red, sore, and might have patches. He can get a yeast infection by having unprotected sex with a woman that has a yeast infection.

EDIT: Just rechecked the website, apparently "they can have a penile yeast infection without having symptoms." So, make sure you and your partner are honest with each other and STD free before having sex.

About 3 months ago I had a yeast infection. The symptoms seemed to pass so I never treated it. A month later a began showing symptoms of oral thrush, (yeast infection of the mouth.) I got some over the counter oral rinse but saw no signs of improvement. Over the last week or so I became EXTREMELY ill: severe muscle tightness and cramping, visual disturbances, migraines, chronic fatigue, memory loss,…….. I had a list of 43 symptoms. I was sleeping 20 hours a day and barely staying awake the other four. I was terrified but everyone kept telling me it was JUST IN MY HEAD and that I was becoming a hypochondriac. I felt so betrayed, depressed, hurt, and confused. Were they right? Was I just being over dramatic? Was I just stressed and imagining these symptoms?
I finally went to the ER today and the doctor confirmed that I did indeed have a systemic yeast infection. Great, finally someone believed me. He gave me 1 dose of oral Diflucan 150 and a prescription for an antibiotic. (I also have a sinus infection.) I asked him if I could have a refill on the Diflucan because of the interaction with the antibiotic, but he said I would just have to follow up with my family doctor.
I took the oral dose of Diflucan at 11:00 am and I can already feel an improvement. However, I can smell an overwhelming scent of yeast coming from my hands, and other areas of my body. Is this normal?
Also, I am afraid to take the antibiotic because of the yeast infection. Should I just take the antibiotic and deal with the symptoms from the yeast infection? PLEASE HELP! I’m scared and sick and tired of feeling sick.

The difflucan will work rather quickly to restore your bacteria balance in your system. Get your antibiotics filled and wait for about 24 hours to start taking them for your sinus infection. That is something else that won’t get better without treatment and with all of the tree pollen in the air and grass being cut, you need to take the medicine. Try to limit your carbohydrates over the next week to help stabilize the yeast problem. No sugar, regular soft drinks, white bread, potatoes, rice, pasta, etc., which feed the yeast and keep it alive.

You should follow up with your family doctor regarding both of these problems.

hope this helps..

I really don’t want to see my doctor. Is this nornmal should I just keep treating it with Monistat and natural remedies? And I know HIV could be a factor but I dont have HIV because I recently just had a blood test and nothing was brought up. Is it just the pill?

it could be the pill or you. wearing thongs everyday or tight jeans can cause a yeast infection. is the yeast white or yellow? the yellowish one is caused by a bacterial infection..usually VD. the white one is normal..also soaps used down there can cause it too.

i can’t afford to go to the doctor but i do believe i have a yeast infection. How can i get rid of this at home?

Drink water, good hygiene, eat yogurt, and any over the counter cream like monastat 7 (can be found at any drug store). and wipe from front to back!

I have a mixed breed who we have spend thousands of $$$ on for yeast infections. She has got dry yet greasy, crusty, itchy elephant skin and a horrible odor. Medications did not work except for one antibiotic she was on but it came back once the medication was gone. She has lost half her hair and lost weight because her body is trying too hard to fight it.

Has anyone at all had a dog like this and have you found anything that works? I know the condition is chronic with her but if I can keep the yeast at bay with treatment, I think we will all be happier.

The vet should have kept her on the antibiotic till it was gone. If it is not completely gone then it will come back.

I would go back and get her on oral antibiotics again and an antifungal spray. If she finishes the antibiotic and you still smell it (It does have a very distinctive smell) take her back to get more before you runout completely. She needs to stay on it continously till it is gone.

i have a mild yeast infection, would a parter contract something if he was to give me oral sex?

this is a penile yeast infection, a mild one as well.

The only transmission I know of is vaginal sex. I know if a man has a penile yeast infection he can give it to a woman. I saw nothing about oral sex though. I would abstain just to be sure not to transmit anything.

My roommate always seems to be plagued with yeast infections… and we’ve heard of and looked up some home remedies online. does anyone have any or know which ones work well???

Thanks!

echnicea works well for yeast infections. Yogurt is also another popular home remedies. If you’re looking for more yeast infections remedies, visit http://www.realhomeremedies.com
