    Default yeast infections

    Okay, we all know they suck, and I have had pap smears and been checked by the dr. Everything is normal, but I do get constant yeast infections. could it be my soap? I have tried to not wash with my soap this week and it seems like my yeast infection is somewhat going away. What other soap can be used down there then? Also, could it be shaving with shaving cream? ha ha, yeah maybe thats what is causing my frequent yeast infections. Does anyone find that getting waxed is better? I might start getting waxed, so I don't have to deal with shaving/shaving cream. Plus, yeast infections just suck ass!

    Stress is a factor for me.I had my very first one after Katrina hit my area.I had to move around so many times and that's when I got it.

    Well, yes it could be that too. I eat healthy though. However, I also am struggling with anxiety so that is stressful. I guess stress can make you have constant yeast infections. I just want to find the cause and want them to go away. I am going crazy over this.

    Yeast can be caused by too much sugar in the diet, scented soaps (make sure you are just washing the folds of your hoo-ha--any soap entering the vaginal canal will upset the pH balance), douching also upsets the delicate ecosystem down there and sets you up for recurring yeast infections, as well as the spermicide nonoxydol-9 (is used in spermicidally lubed condoms). To get back a healthy balance, lay off the sugar, scented soaps, and start taking L.acidophillus or bifidium supplements. These are the naturally-occuring bacteria found in yogurt. You can buy the supplements at health food stores. You can also soak a tampon in plain, unsweetened yogurt an insert it. Sounds gross, I know, but it really does help restore the natural flora and fauna to your cookie.

    Could also be from oral sex if your having plenty of it. The men(woman) pass the yeast back and forth from their mouth, to your twat, and back. WHile you get yours treated and gone, theirs lingers, and gets your overgrowth started again

    If you are using an anti-bacterial soap, that could be it too. Remember, you NEED bacteria down there to keep the yeast in check! I was using an anti-bacterial soap on the other parts of my body, avoiding my cookie, and I still got yeast infections from it. As soon as I switched to a different body wash, no more problems.

    Oh and STOP wearing panties!!!!!

    I have a pretty horrible diet (eating cheetoes as we speak, lol), I use highly scented body wash (Bath & Body Works), and I have sex almost every day.

    Pretty much everything you should to get one I do, and I haven't had one since 1997 when I had my second kid, and I had my gall bladder taken out the day after delivery.

    I just don't ever wear underwear. Well unless I'm at work and I have to there, lol. But other than that, never.

    It has to breathe. My OB/GYN told me that ages ago, and I have only had two in my life so it can't be too bad of advice.

    You can also get that creme stuff till you get to a Dr., but if you get them that much, I would reccommend just trying it for a few weeks and see what happens.

    There's a high quality natural skincare brand called "Living Nature" that is made in New Zealand.
    They make an incredible Candida Gel with manuka honey and other stuff - it works wonders for yeast infections!

    also, wearing tampons a lot can't help it. And try to remember to wipe from front to back...

    If you are taking birth control and antibiotics that can cause it as well.

    If you do wear panties ONLY wear cotton ones as cotton helps it breathe too. tight clothing is bad too..try to wear loose stuff for now. Also if you get an OTC treatment and dont use it all the way as directed on the box then thatll make it come back in an instant.

    Im sorry I know how terrible it is for it to keep coming back. Hope you get well soon.

    Oh WOW, how I know the pain of yeast infections.
    * Yep, ditch the panties. No tight pants, either....
    * No more sugar.
    * Sit in hot baths with 1-2 cups table salt or Epsom salt dumped in there. Good for relaxation too.
    * Make some plain non-sugar acidophilus yogurt cylinders to use like tampons- fill a latex surgical glove with the yogurt, freeze it, and then use as needed. It sounds gross, but I promise if you're sitting on Itching Burning HELL, it won't be such a stretch.
    *Take oral acidophilous capsules, + eat yogurt. I don't care if you get sick of it. It needs to build up in your body.
    *Best habit to pick up- use your hair dryer, set on warm or cool, to dry your cookie after every bath or shower. Moisture is essential for the bad bacteria to multiply & make your life painful. So eliminate it.
    The thing is, most "repeat" infections are from a small amount of yeast surviving in the vagina to sneak back up on you at the first opportunity. It's like Reverse Friendship Bread Starter. LOL Eliminate chances for the yeast to breed, and it will go away. Good Luck!

    there is somthing so ironic to me that the "dumb strippers" on this awsome website know so much more about taking care of there vaginal health then almost every other woman ive met. people always look at me like "you put yogurt where!"

    i would highly recomend taking acidophilus in supplament or yogurt form and then useing yogurt topicaly at night. i know of a few woman who have developed resistant yeast infections from trying over the counter stuff so much. or at least eat a ton of yogurt for 2-4 weeks while you use the otc stuff.

    A natural treatment for yeast infections is garlic. Just shove it up there and your yeast infection will be gone within a day.

    I used to get yeast infections all the time from the birth control pill I was on. I found out the dosage was too high for my body, which caused the yeast infection. So if you are on the pill, try switching it to a different brand. Also, I only use Summer's Eve wash instead of regular soap in the shower. It's really gentle for that sensitive skin.

    I never wash my hoo-ha with soap, I just blast it off in the shower. This is medically what you are supposed to do to avoid yeast infections.

    However, my sweetie washes hers with soap, and she swears by this cheap yellow soap, I think it's Dial bar soap (not antibacterial). She says it's the only kind that won't cause problems.

    On the garlic note, yes, good, but remember -- use the whole clove, do NOT slice or split it or there will be PAIN.

    I used to get them all the time too, although they don't seem to happen as much when I'm not sexually active. I will no longer let my guy go down on me, because then I will get a UTI AND a yeast infection. NOT A FUN COMBINATION!
    I prefer to get foot massages anyway.

    All the ladies here have given great advice. I have done SOOOOO much research on this topic it's not even funny.

    Try to let your cookie BREATHE. Even if you have to wear undies for part of the day (most strippers have to), sleep without them at the very least.
    I only use unscented, no-dye Dove soap. Sometimes I use shower gel on my upper body, but pretty rarely.

    Don't stick anything (or anyone) dirty inside you. Cover everything with a condom beforehand. Not to get too graphic, but never let your guy put anything inside your cookie that was in your rectum without washing it first. Anal sex can cause bacteria to travel into unwanted places.

    The natural acidophilus bacteria didn't seem to help me. Once, I tried crushing up one of the pills and mixed it with yogurt and used it vaginally. My doctor told me that it made it worse.

    AVOID ALCOHOL, tomatoes, oranges and other sugary or citrusy foods. Try to cut back on carbs and wheat until your infection goes away. Eat lots of leafy green veggies, meat and dairy. Think of yourself as being on the atkins diet for a week or so.

    I've never tried the garlic clove thing, but a friend of mine recommends it highly. She takes a whole clove and sticks it inside the toe of an old stocking, cuts the toe part off and uses it like a tampon. That way, there is a way to remove it.

    Another option is to get GSE pills or liquid. It's Grapefruit Seed Extract (NOT grape seed). Take 3 or 4 of the pills daily or dilute a few (no more than 4) drops of the liquid serum into water and douche with that once a day. I buy the typical Summer's Eve and just dump out the pre-packaged ingredients and mix my own. Remember to dilute the serum because otherwise it will BLISTER your sensitive skin.
    I take the GSE pills once a week for maintenance and rarely have too many infections anymore.

    You can also sit in a shallow bathtub with a few cups of vinegar. That might ease the itching at least.

    I have problems with this alot, but now I got it under control Thank God!!

    Most women can get it from the bum hole when its not been wiped proper, take regular baths makes you feel better, just plain hot water.

    + if you have a yeast infection internally then if you wear a tampon u can put some tea tree oil on the top to get to the infection and clear it up. A pessary is also good as well, works wonders, clears it up in like 2 days. + there are loads of creams around, dont get a non braned product they dont work as well ok there cheaper, but the more expensive ones work well because they are alot stronger.
