Yeast infection is not only uncomfortable, it's also uncomfortable and mind stressing, emotional draining and lowers self esteem..I am so frustrated at this point..on and off and resisting creams

[mynewhealthsecrets]

Switching to an anti-candida diet with foods like garlic and coconut oil really made a difference, but what truly helped me overcome candida was following the candida cleanse blueprint. I used to feel bloated and uncomfortable all the time, but now, those days are behind me.

What about those of us who can’t afford to go to a doctor or pay for prescriptions? What are we supposed to? 🤷‍♀️ Just suffer in silence?

I suffered this 5 yrs. My mistakes is that i never go and check to the doctor because I'm shy... it became worse and i really cannot bear that i have this the itchy. But now I'm thankful i'm healed. THE doctor gave me medicine to put inside the vagina on that night and until now the itchy gone. Sana noon kopa to na patingin sa doctor at hindi ako nag suffered nang 5yrs na ganoon katagal..
Now I'm free and gone the itchy.. Please anyone who read this. GO to the doctor.
May the Lord heal you. GOD BLESS US ALL..

I disagree very much with the video about using vinegar. I don't know know about white vinegar, but apple cider vinegar is literally your best friend with vaginal yeast infections. I had a miserable yeast infection and applied apple cider vinegar to the infected area with a cotton ball. It not only gave me immense relief from the itching but got rid of my infection! It WILL burn, but that means its working against the infection, and the burning and itching will subside after 5-10 min. Saved me money and time going to a doctor's office

As a teenager I suffered with yeast infections....it was very depressing at the time....that experience seemed endless and very tramatic because it was such a sensitive age....the discharge was off white...thickish...cottage cheese like...and the scent was like the smell of baking bread the text books described it back GYN said it was caused by wearing tight jeans and nylon underware...both of which hold in moisture...in a area tha is already naturally moist....so bacteria thrives in that then monistat cream was prescribed as well as the advice to stop wearing tight fighting pants...and to buy cotton underware....or underware that have a cotton croch to help keep that area dry

No discharge or anything but currently my issue is in my "fold" or "hidden" areas and because I'm a "plush pal" my areas are warm and tend to hold moisture which ultimately resulted in my going to the hospital because I was super uncomfortable and couldn't function. Needless say the doctor prescribed a powder and antibiotic by mouth. These videos help!!💜💜💜

Coconut oil works for yeast infections I had my first yeast infection and coconut oil and feminine wipes help with the itch and redness now I don't have an infections anymore

[Leo_error]

I just figured I possibly have yeast infection. I’m glad I had the balls to tell my mom. I’m 17, thankfully she took it well

[duhhitzztee]

I just had my first yeast infection sheesh I felt like I was going to die 😭😭

[shashi_moon]

Suffering from yeast infection second time it's the worst 😣😣😣😣😣

[janetaryeetey]

I've got this now and I'm so sad😭😭I pray to God the fluconazole helps me😭

[dancelikeangels]

I am currently on day 2 of fluconazole, I've had yeast infection once in awhile but never this bad it started after I was given steroids for symptoms. I never knew that steroids can give you yeast infection... I'm waiting for tomorrow to be day 3 so I can take the second dose because it's so severe one dose is not going to be enough . This is the worst yeast infection I've ever had it has stressed me out causing me to cry affecting my sleep and even my daily activities this is just so depressing.... Hope with the Lord's hope that this does oral pill.

[clarityshine]

It’s hurting as strong as period cramps. I am scared that if it’s permenant😭😭😭

[hollyposluszny]

Salt baths have been my best friend tho . I get thrush once or twice a month and it goes much quicker with salt .

[annstar]

An OBGYN told me to use vinegar and water and spray it in there 2 x per month to keep it too acidic for preventing chronic recurrent yeast. Anyone else ???? 😮

[pinkblackbrown]

I love a vinegar tampon and it miraculously worked

[samsamiii]

I’m so screwed, I’m 99% sure I have a yeast infection. I’m literally stuck in Kenya rn for vacation and I’m not leaving in another 7 weeks. I pray that this will go away on its own. My stress levels are increasing like crazy
