How to get rid of a yeast infection naturally?

Question

okay so stupid me, left a pad on or a few days and then it smelled really bad, i removed it took a shower, and no more smell! but ever since then i have been a little itchy.. not constant, just every once in a while. no smell, and no unusual discharge.

oh yea not sexually active so can't be std

so i really don't want to go thru the hassle of telling my mom, so i was hoping that there was a natural way to cure it? also if not cured what could happen??

Answer 1

If you don't have a discharge, you probably don't have a yeast infection.  It's probably just an irritation.  I would just use a soap that is ph balanced (you can find those at the health food store).  Also, it's a little messy but plain organic yogurt might help with the discomfort if you want to go the "natural" way.

I don't think I would use the hydrocortisone on that area of your body unless you check with your doctor first.  

If this condition doesn't go away in a week or so, I would tell your mom and maybe call a doctor.

Good luck

Answer 2

Try gyno-lotromine. You can find it at a pharmacy. You don't need a prescription. There are instructions in the packaging. I would suggest testing with a small amount first because I tried it once and it burned because my body is very sensitive. if it does burn, you'll need to go to a gynecologist for a pill.

sounds more like thrush, prob best to go to a chemist and get a cream, you can get it without prescription and at any age really so no1 needs to no!

Answer 4

YOPLAIT yogurt....has natural cultures in it to remove yeast causing bacteria and restore your PH levels.

Drink a lot of water too.

Answer 5

I actually have one at the moment and have almost cured it by drinking cranberry juice and eating pro-biotic yoghurt (I say alpro soya is the best to use for this problem) and they work very well, I didn't want to do all of the horrible stuff like put natural yoghurt on a tampon!

Hope this helps!

Answer 6

Yeast is actually found all in our bodies, but the infectiion kind is the worst. If itching continues I would seek advice from a doctor. In the meantime, shower daily and make sure to wash down there. At your local CVS they should carry some kinds of cream to help ease discomfort of itching.

Answer 7

ok well hydrocortisone(my dr. prescribed me to put on the outside of a yeast infection once to treat it b/c i was having a really bad reaction to the monistat and it worked) BUT monistat is your best bet however , plain yogurt placed inside your v****a (plain yogurt not vanilla) n i read once you could bruise a clove of garlic and put it in a stocking and place in there overnight and something about the juices from the garlic cure it(personally never tried it)............. now personally i would take monistat ovule OH and walmart used to have an organic yeast infection treatment it was a 7day ovule treatment.. you may try that
