Does yogurt helps yeast infections?

I read on yahoo about women who dip a tampon in plain yogurt, and insert it in their vagina's when they have a yeast infection. I dont want to do that. I never stick a tampon in unless I have AF. Does yogurt help the yeast infection if you eat it instead? DH is buying me some vagisil(sp) on his way home. I have plenty of yogurt in the fridge.... will it help? This is the first yeast infection I've ever had. Its strange after TTC, I suddenly got a yeast infection. Heh.

I dont mind creams... as long as they work. So far, the monistat 7 I tried earlier seems to help my burning and itching. I can wipe without having to pat myself dry instead. It's relied in that department so far. Thank goodness.


But what I do mind is sticking tampons in my va jay jay while NOT on a period. I barely like to when I am on AF!! LOL. I just dont understand it honestly.
haha

I was told by my OB when you are not on your peroid you really should avoid using a tampon. I would consult a professional before sticking any food in my area... Ummm creams work but like someone else said I use Diflucan and it works in like 1 hour and relieves any icky yeast infection stuff... Monistat also works, but I personally am not a fan of messy creams. Best of Luck

OMG!! I just googles this and OMG OMG OMG my "who ha" is closed tight at the thought of any of  this!   I have never had a yeast infection **Knock on wood** but this is just out there!!

"""A fresh clove of garlic wrapped in cheesecloth, tied with an unwaxed dental floss and inserted into the vagina is one of the other natural methods used in yeast infection home treatment. A few drops of tea tree oil on a lubrcated tampon which is then inserted into the vagina is one of the other methods used in yeast infection home treatment Inserting one or two capsules of boric acid into the vagina and leaving it overnight for several nights is one of the other methods deployed in yeast infection home treatment. A tampon dipped in a solution prepared using one tablespoon of potassium sorbate in one cup of water and inserted into the vagina, is another method used in yeast infection home treatment."""
