vaginal yeast
hello!
i have a yeast infection and i would prefer to cure it the all natural way.Since vaginal yeast is caused by an imbalance between the good bacteria (in this case the lactobacilli) and the yeast already found in the vagina naturally due to antibiotics for example (which is my case), will an intake of lactobacillus supplements or just eating lots of yoghurt (without inserting it into the vagina directly as some people suggest) cure the problem for good?

I'm scared as hell!!!

Okay, so in 2010 I started dating this guy and after a couple of months we started doing things.. Never had sex, but skin to skin contact & grinding took place. His penis to my vagina & all. This was the first guy I ever did anything with. Even before meeting him I usually experienced burning & itching on my vagina. But after our "sexual grinding" the itching & burning continued.. It's been several years I've had this issue & never took it serious. Sometimes It would itch so bad that I would even put ice on my vag to stop it.. I usually feel bumps under my fingers around the moist part of my Vagina when I touch it. They never look like they'res any liquid inside them or any white stuff. If I scratch too hard in my sleep I will probably peel the skin off with my nails so they'll look red.. And recently it's been a couple of days I had joint burning & pain on my legs & back & right arm around my elbow area. I'm scared as hell. I don't know what to do. All I do is research on google and it's been stressing me a lot lately. I can't sleep at night & have been feeling anxiety. I don't have any weird or foul discharge. My discharge is whitish like cream all around my vagina and sometimes I see it on my underwear too if I don't use the restoom for long. I've been having really bad constipation for about 7 months now also. I'm just really scared :( I haven't gotten my Vag checked or gotten any tests for STD's because I'm scared of what I will do when I do get the results & they're positive. It's really stressing me out. And now that I have read other people's symptoms and read that body aches are due to herpes I've been freaking out even more. I can't even tell my family about this cause they don't know I used to have a BF. I'm talking to another guy now we don't do anything more than kissing. If it is herpes can I pass It on to him by kissing him? Someome please help :( btw I don't use anything for the bumps & the itch they come & go often.. Now the bumps, itching & burning is gone but I still have muscle aches. Could this be something even worse that herpes? Or does it sound like vaginal yeast? Does yeast even come with muscle pains? I need help from anyone please.

I am prone to yeast infections. I go to the store and buy the azo yeast pills, and a gallon of apple cider vinegar. Apple cider vinegar (3-5) cups in a warm bath works wonders, I usually take 3-5 baths (1 a night) to ensure the problem has ceased. & take the AZO yeast tablets 3 times a day for a week, along with plenty of water.
If that doesn't work (which has rarely ever happened) you can try inserting plain yogurt into the vagina, the good bacteria will kill the yeast. You can also use the plain yogurt on the outer parts of the vagina to ease the itching. Make sure it is PLAIN yogurt, with no added sugars, and that the yogurt has "active and live cultures". ALSO, GARLIC. Garlic is a natural antibiotic that works wonders. You can take garlic pills or eat garlic cloves whole, either way will work wonders for your yeast infection and your immune system in general. I have even heard of women inserting cloves of garlic into the vagina, although I have never tried it myself.
Good Luck!
