This is awfully embarassing!! It is about apple cider vinegar?

Question

Okay I am just wondering if any one has a had a bad reaction to using apple cider vingar not there skin. If you had I would extremely appreciate it if you could tell me about it. I used apple cider vinegar on my parts down there becuase my birth control med gave me a yeast infection. A few days later and NO MORE infection, It burns like crazy down there, whats going on! Even wearing swaetpants hurts!

Answer 1

I am glad i did not use it were you did because it has acidity and it is used for mostly drinking in water for arthritis or to put on joints but if you leave it on too long it will eat and burn your skin. I feel for your pain! next time eat some yougart or get some acidopholis.

Answer 2

Did you use it as a douche?  If so, never ever do that again!  Doucheing is ineffective for anything and messes with the natural ecology of the v****a.  And I hope you didn't use it straight, that would have been stupid and waaaaay too acidic for such a sensative area.  I would try doucheing again (only if that is what you did with the ACV) but with pure water , then a few hours later with probiotics added in.  Probiotics can be bought at a health food store and are good bacteria.  If you buy a powder you can just mix it with the water, if its in a capsule, make sure it is NOT in a "enteric coated capsule" (special coating to help it survive stomach acid) and insert it into your v****a and let it disolve naturally.

If the burning doesnt improve in a day or so, then go to your Dr.!!!  And never ever douche again as that is not good for your body.  Also, research how to get rid of yeast infections naturally more thoughly should you get another one.  And never live by the rule, "the more the better!" when it comes to sensative parts!

Answer 3

You should never try home remedies to treat infections. You should either see a gynecologist or buy creams or suppositories made to treat that. You need to go see the gyn to make sure you didn't mess something up down there, and are you sure it was only a yeast infection? It could very well be a bacterial infection or STDs are often accompanied by yeast infections, so go get that checked out.

Answer 4

I've used apple cider vinegar for the same problem, and it worked.  I mixed some in my bath water.  I didn't have the burning afterwards.  I'd call your gyno and talk to a nurse about it.  I'm sure they can give you an answer.  If not, they can schedule an appointment to check you out.
