More vag troubles...TMI

[weelass24]

I have no clue. I have always just called up my OB for that Rx pill that clears it up in one dose

It depends on the severity of the infection. If I catch it early enough, the OTC stuff works just fine. Otherwise, I need the diflucan.

I did read somewhere that if you lather your vagina in yogurt, it helps balance out the yeast. I have not tried it though (<----hippy cure)

It works but if you can score the antibiotic pills it's so much more bearable.

I thought you were supposed to put the yogurt on the inside. I'm laughing at the thought of sitting around with a yogurt lathered vag!

I think you putting it every where it hurts!

I have a friend who tried it in high school because she was afraid to go to her mom about having a YI, and she said it actually worked.

ETA: I have heard that if you are going to use OTC you should go for a 5 day or 7 day, because the 1 day and 3 day versions are much less likely to work.

I've never had a problem requesting Diflucan over the phone without having to go in and be seen. Can't hurt to call! It's so much easier and quicker.

You have to use the 7 day stuff for it to work. Also this is way tmi but I just had a bad one that came on quickly and it got terrible before I could get to the store. So I read online that sitting in a hot bath with apple cider vinegar would provide relief. I smelled like an Easter egg but it really worked.

I think you should just go to the doctor and find out what is wrong first.

I've used the 1 day treatment and it worked fine.

Holy itchy vag. I think I have a yeast infection. I bought an otc 3 day treatment. Do those things really work?

When I had a yeast infection before, I went to the gyno and it cleared up in no time.

For the love of God, please tell me this otc stuff works.
