ok, this is sort of embarassing, but i’ve had a yeast infection for a while now, and i dont know how to treat it. can someone tell me an effective way to treat it and get rid of it?
How do you know that it is a yeast infection?
Presumably you already have tried self treatment or you would not be asking the Q
I suggest that you see your doctor for confirmation and if necessary swabs.also it maybe necessary to exclude diabetes. it would be useful to know your age/on pill/children etc and sexual history
More likely to get fungus if pregnant/on pill/diabetic
Is there any chance that you have a STD? but think/hope that it is a yeast infection and not any thing else
Assuming that it is a fungus infection
1)no bath salts/oils/bubble bath/perfumed soap/vaginal deodorants etc They remove natural protection
2)cotton underwear
3)nystatin cream /pessaries-also cream under foreskin of partner
4)Diflucan-fluconazole by mouth would clear bowel of yeast as bowel can often be a source of reinfection-available over the counter UK
