how do i cure a yeast infection without going to the doctors??

[lzab3lla]

im 16 and i'm almost certain i have a yeast infection. for the past week my labia have been extremely itchy, and my discharge is pretty thick and white. there is no odor yet. i'm afraid to talk to my mom about maybe having a yeast infection because i'm really embarrassed about it. is there any way to cure or get rid of the yeast infection from home, like home remedies? please help a sista out! thank you<3

Yeast infections are definitely nothing to be embarrassed about, most women have one at some point! There are tests and treatment kits you can get at your local pharmacy. Not an advertisement, but Monistat, a company which makes some of those products, does have a website with information and videos I've found helpful and would recommend visiting: http://www.monistat.com

Re: the yogurt treatment. I've heard of people trying this also. Yogurt contains Lactobacillus acidophilus, a strain of good bacteria that can help fight off yeast infections. Acidophilus is also available in supplement form.

Try talking with your mom first to find a solution that works best for you. With treatment yeast infections can clear up in a matter of days.

There is  no reason to be embarrassed about having a yeast infections. You should talk to your Mom I sure she's had one before.
