yeast infection

[aw2425]

So i read in a post a few days ago,  that putting greek jogurt up your vagina would help heal the yeast infection. ...i tried that yesterday and today it was only getting worse so i stopped. Anybody have any advice?

Ok thanks i might ask for that at my next appt. I only know canesten cream but ot doesn't seem to help a lot.

Monistat is a cream that you put up there. It was on the list of meds ok to take while pregnant. Or you could just ask your doc and they can prescribe you a pill that will take it away very quickly

What is monistat? Is it a cream?

[Newyearsmommy]

Just use monistat, It won't hurt the baby

Eating yogurt helps balance ur pH levels. As well as apple cider vinegar. I've never heard of putting it in ur vagina tho. Sounds messy

It absolutely will get worse if you put it in your vagina.  Please do not listen to the crazy crap people post of these pages.
EATING yogurt can help you.

Thanks a lot for the feedback. I am drinking lots of water and eating yogurt also using external canesten cream. I talked to my doc and was told to eat lots of yogurt. Hope it will go away soon i don't want to take any pills against it during pregnancy.

Eating healthy, drinking lots of water, and wearing breathable(preferably cotton) underwear helps. I've never heard of using Greek yogurt, always been told plain, unflavored yogurt, so that may make a difference, but I'm not sure. Watch your carb and sweets intake. Check with the doc for sure. He may rather just prescribe you something instead of trying to take care of it yourself.

Talk to your doc.

I heard of eating yogurt but never putting it in your vagina. That's a new one. Monistat is what worked for me and drink lots of water. Check with your doctor though first.
