thanks have been eating yogurt and taking acidophilis pills as well.

The antibacterial soap may have cause the yeast infection. There are good bacteria and bad bacteria... antibacterial soaps take out both leaving you exposed to yeast infections. Try adding some yougurt with probiotics in them to get you back on track. Hope you feel better!

Well I went to the doctor about two weeks ago also and
had a yeast infection but my doctor told me to buy monistat
cream it's a vaginal cream 7-day treatment it's about $12 dollars
use every night for 7 nights and you should be good after that
I know I was.

I just got diagonsed with one today too, but I was on some pretty heavy duty iv antibiotics for 7 days so its no suprize

I think I heard somewhere that diabetics can be more prone to yeast infections also, or maybe that was bladder infections.

yep yep...exactly what these ladies have said. Have you been on an antibiotic lately? That can cause it.  But yea just try to wear some cotton panties from now on and only where sexy ones to spice things up for ya..lol. Avoid bubble baths with strong soaps like neasyc said. Summer's Eve just came out with a GREAT bubble bath. It's made for woman who are too sensitive to other soaps. (like me) I've been using it when I take a bath and it works GREAT. Bubbles up really good with no irritation. They also have feminine wash that I use instead of regular soap and it's helped me avoid yeast infection....goodluck and sorry about that...

[neasyc]

every woman will get it at some point try not to wash with strong soaps wear cotten underware and no tight fitten clothes drink plenty and cut down on starchy food

[KellyA74]

Yes, penicillin causes them in alot of people, but they can also come from other things....I've heard that wearing non-cotton panties can cause them, as you can't "breathe" down there, hot weather, lots of things....I wouldnt' worry too much about it.......although they can be pretty uncomfortable!

[Scared718]

it can be the things you eat espically if you eat a lot of starch, not drinking enough water and also my doc told me awhile back that the dye from your colored panties can aslo cause one
