oh i think i should mention that its my boyfriend how has one- and i havent had a yeast infection in a year…does this mean he cheated?

it doesnt really mean he cheated i read online that men that get yeast infections are mainly men that are not circumcised and its very rare that they get it from a woman if thats not his case then i would say he cheated with a dirty butt

I get a yeast infection a few times a year. This time it started out feeling how it usually does maybe even less. I used plain sugar free yogurt on the outside and inside. The itching and stuff from the inside seems to have gone away pretty much BUT it is really bad on the place where my leg folds. It is a big red itchy rash. I was concerned that it was something worse than a yeast infection but when I looked up pictures of a yeast infection rash it is what it looks like.
I went to the pharmacy and got some Tinoxal cream. I have just been using it for one day now. How long until this goes away??? I have never had it spread to the fold of my leg before.
Can I have sex while I have this horrible looking rash or will it infect my boyfriend? Ughhhh!! so annoying :(
I just wish this would go away ASAP. I heard that if you mix vinegar with water that can help too??
Has anyone had this and what did you do and how long did it take for it to go away?????
i don’t have a bath tub & would like to avoid the doctor. What is the stronger product they could give me?

if you really want to get rid of yeast infection then you must follow these tips:

1) Eat yogurt!!!! It contains helpful bacteria (live cultures, including acidophilus and bifidus) that destroy yeast. Use only plain yogurt with active cultures.

2) Douche with a solution of 1 to 3 tbsp. vinegar in a quart of water. Repeat once a day while having symptoms, but no longer than a week.

3) Decrease or eliminate sugar and sugary foods. Sugar promotes yeast growth.

4) Use a garlic clove as a suppository. Garlic contains a natural anti-fungal agent.

5) Try gentian violet. It’s a traditional remedy for yeast and other infections, and can be found in pharmacies. Swab the area with it once or twice a day. Make sure to use a thick pad – it stains everything.

6) Use an herbal douche. Combine equal amounts of sage, raspberry and comfrey with 1/4 part goldenseal. This can be combined with cider vinegar.

7) also you should use some herbal treatment. In that case Yeastrol is really good (probably the best) product that gets rid of yeast infection comparatively fast and makes you feel more confident knowing that it wont reappear again!
And of course it is better if you use full course (5 months – if I remember correctly). For me it worked very fast + I dont get yeast infections anymore (almost 2 years) …

Hello,

I am looking for some tips that works on yeast infection prevention. Yeast infection is a big problem for some people, men, women..

Whats your best methods on treatment?

Eat yogurt, which seems to keep it at bay


You may have to start cleaning his ears regularly. My dog gets ear infections a lot too. It could also be from a food alergy. Just have your vet take a look at it. I clean out my dogs ears every week *now that it’s under control* and when he starts itching, I just squeeze some panalog into his ear to soothe it. Your vet will have something for you.

I have a yeast infection and a bladder infection! My period was due around last week, but that’s also when both of my infections had started. (The bladder infection could have started earlier.) I heard that a yeast infection usually doesn’t delay your period, but what about both of them combined?

I’m taking medication for both of them now as well.

I was always told that too. That a yeast infection never delays a period and blah blah blah blah.

Ok, I’ve had about 4-5 if not more yeast infections and EVERY TIME it has delayed my period. I’m pretty convinced it does.

If you have a yeast infection, and you finished your shower and you dried your area down there, then someone touches that area on the towel 10 mins later, could they get a yeast infection like that? Or if you put the towel up to your face, could you get a yeast infection on your face/mouth?

It’s possible to spread, though not to a face or mouth. Grab some sugar free yogurt, L. acidophilus, wash the towel in hot water, and boil your undies.

same day?? Interceptor is for heartworm my dog takes it monthy. I just wanted to make sure it was okay to give her both in the same day?? Please help!

It will be fine to give her both but give her 1 then the other about 2 hours later.

I have a yeast infection and I need to get some medicine. I have to get something I can get at the store though because I don’t have insurance and can’t afford to go to a doctor. I’ve had a yeast infection once in the past, like three years ago, but I used medicine from the doctor’s so I’ve never bought any at the store before, I don’t know what kind is the best. What should I get?
Ps. I always hear that if it’s someone’s first yeast infection to always go to the doc first, that store stuff is for those who’ve had them before. I’m just curious, why’s it so bad for someone who has their first infection to use store stuff if they know they have one?

When I had one before in the past, I didn’t think it was a yeast infection, I thought it was BV because the discharge wasn’t cottage cheese like…but the doc said it was a yeast infection and she would know more than me, right, and gave me one pill that I swallowed then it cleared up. But this time around the discharge is cottage cheese like..
Hmm I already said I can’t afford to go to a doctor, and that I do know this is a yeast infection, but thanks for the helpful information anyways :)

You can’t get the pill at the store, but there is cream to insert. It’s called Monastat 3 day. Generic will work fine.


yes! of course!!

so if you have yeast infection – you must get rid of it as soon as it is possible!!!

and if you really want to get rid of yeast infection forever then you must follow these tips:

1) Eat yogurt!!!! It contains helpful bacteria (live cultures, including acidophilus and bifidus) that destroy yeast. Use only plain yogurt with active cultures.

2) Douche with a solution of 1 to 3 tbsp. vinegar in a quart of water. Repeat once a day while having symptoms, but no longer than a week.

3) Decrease or eliminate sugar and sugary foods. Sugar promotes yeast growth.

4) Use a garlic clove as a suppository. Garlic contains a natural anti-fungal agent.

5) Try gentian violet. It’s a traditional remedy for yeast and other infections, and can be found in pharmacies. Swab the area with it once or twice a day. Make sure to use a thick pad – it stains everything.

6) Use an herbal douche. Combine equal amounts of sage, raspberry and comfrey with 1/4 part goldenseal. This can be combined with cider vinegar.

7) You must use herbal treatment. In that case Yeastrol is really good (probably the best) product that gets rid of yeast infection comparatively fast and makes you feel more confident knowing that it wont reappear again!
And of course it is better if you use full course (5 months – if I remember correctly). For me it worked very fast + I dont get yeast infections anymore…

I do not know if any pharmacies carry Yeastrol but I do know that you should purchase it directly from the manufacturer and read more about the product here http://www.yeastrol.com/?aid=221781

good luck!

YES, THE TONSILS AND BACK OF THROAT WOULD LOOK RED AND OFTEN PEPPERED WITH WHITE COTTAGE CHEESE SPOTS. THAT CAN BE RUBBED AWAY. OFTEN THE INFECTION FOLLOWS ANTIBIOTIC USE.
