Hello All, does anyone know any PROVEN home remedys that will cure a yeast infection. I dont want anything store brand just natural home remedys. Thank you in advance.

Proven home remedies are:
1)wearing clean cotton underwear
2)drinking lots of water
3)Eating yogurt

But more importantly, not eating particular food groups might help you more. Yeast infection is caused by a change in harmones in our body. this could be due to pregnancy, stress or change in eating habits.

While consulting a doctor is always a good idea, some more of the natural remedies which seem to have worked for others can be found at the source.

what causes yeast infection in women and is that responsible for the fishy smell?

Can lubricants cause fishy smell? I guess that what I really want to know.
The smell started a couple of days after using a commonly know lube with a condom.

Don’t know what the previous responder is doing ‘in medicine’ but he certainly ain’t a Doctor. Perhaps he packs pills for a living.

1st off, all women have an odour and this varies in strength from woman to woman. Just in the same way that a man’s musky smell when he sweats is stronger in some men than others.

Some people say that women smell ‘fishy’, this is a common description and has absolutely nothing to do with any infection of any kind.

Oil based lubricants in themselves cannot cause a yeast infection (the clue is in the name). A yeast infection is a bacterial growth in the vagina caused by the right conditions – wet, warm and the introduction of the bacterial culture which can be done by 101 means. An oil based lubricant can sometimes cause inflamation due to allergic reaction and this is why many people prefer water based lubricants.

If you are using oil based lubrication then the most imortant thing is to wash thoroghly afterwards… yeast infections are usually associated with a lack of cleanliness…. invest in a douche and use plenty of warm water.

You’re clearly using lubricants for a reason and if you introduce germs into the vagina and don’t clean them out thoroughly then chances are you will get an infection and if you do, then a yeast infection or thrush may certianly increase the smell, but it isn’t the only cause as women have a natural odour.

Can you cure a male yeast infection with otc creams?

Can you cure a male yeast infection with otc creams?
can you cure a male yeast infection with otc creams?
like monistat? If a man has a yeast infection can he just put some external cream over his penis for several days and cure it? I don’t KNOW for sure I have it, my girlfriend had one and we had sex without a condom (she’s on the pill). I just found out I could have one and not know it, then we’ll pass it back and forth. can I use some cream from a monistat?
I don’t feel any different, so I’m probably not infected.
Does it make any difference if it’s circumsized? I’m circumsized, so it’s not like I have the foreskin for it to grow in.

Yes you should be able to cure a yeast infection with the same otc creams that women use.

And circumcised guys can get all the same infections that intact guys can get.

You and your gf should use condoms until you’re both clear. But you might not have it anyway…

What is the best at home (box) yeast infection cure?

admin — Mon, 01 Feb 2010 12:55:06 +0000

I’ve heard the yogurt thing, but i’m a little skeptical about that, I get them reoccurring quite often so i’m looking for a boxed one to solve the one i have now and maybe some suggests on how to keep my reoccurring yeast and bladder infections away. Perhaps a pill, or natural something anything that can help?

Perhaps this home remedy might help:
"Take half a cup of honey into the bathroom. Sit on the toilet and apply honey liberally over the affected area. Let it stay for five to ten minutes and then bathe to clean up. Do this twice a day, morning and just before going to bed at night."

ok i think i have a yeast infection. home remedies to relieve itching? and will it go away on its own?

like if i dont treat it will it go away?
it itches really bad, and i cant got to the doctores for 1 week so thats not an option. home remedies? and is it possible for it to go away without doing anything? please help:)
thanks all il love yyou!

Some yeast infection home remedies include inserting or applying plain yogurt in the areas affected. If it is the vagina, soak a tampon in plain yogurt and insert it at least twice a day. Repeat this regularly until the infection disappears. Consumption of yoghurt, buttermilk, unsweetened cranberry juice, and acidophilus in large amounts is also known to help a lot.

Douching with a solution of vinegar and water is another perfect home remedy. This is because vinegar has antifungal and antibacterial properties that will combat Candida. Simply mix a cup of vinegar in a bathtub full of warm water, and soak inside for about 20 minutes. Any kind of vinegar is okay, but apple cider vinegar has proved very effective.

Use of garlic is another way to treat this infection. Simply make a paste using garlic pods and apply to the surrounding parts of the affected area. For a vaginal yeast infection, you can also slice the garlic pods and wrap with a clean piece of cheesecloth and then insert in the vagina for around 20 minutes. Be advised using garlic may somewhat burn the area slightly, but is equally effective.

Arguably the most uncomfortable and stickiest home remedy for curing a yeast infection is using honey. Simply pour honey on all the areas affected and stay for 20 minutes. You can afterwards shower using warm water and don’t forget to dry the affected areas sparingly and thoroughly using a clean absorbent piece of paper.

Hope this helps.

what causes a yeast infection? how to prevent it?

What causes a girl to get a yeast infection? I don’t need the scientific causes I just want to know is there something that one can do to get one? and how do you prevent getting one?
also, how long should one wait to have sex?

TB has it right, but forgot to mention that acidophilus is in most yogurt with live bacteria, that you can buy at the store. You can also buy it in capsule form if you hate yogurt.
Eating this can help repopulate your body with the beneficial bacteria.
Oh, yeah – I’d wait a week before sex – til the meds are done. Also, if your partner caught it from you (and, yes, guys can get it, too) you could get it back from him.
If you keep getting it back after treatment, have him go see a doc, too.

how to cure yeast infection without wasting money?

admin — Sat, 30 Jan 2010 03:57:26 +0000

my sister has been having Yeast Infection for a few years now and she’s only 14 years old. Is there any way to cure it without wasting money on drugs that will never work?

There are some easy tips are mentioned to overcome the problems related to yeast infection.
These include;
1. Take Warm sitz baths, using herbs and teas can help relieve the itching and burning.
2.Over the counter drugs can be used at times.
3.Proper hygiene is a must and should be implemented.
4.Cutting the conditions for the growth of yeasts by the elimination of immunosuppressive drugs and antibiotics (if you are taken), and dietary deprivation of the candida of those foods on which it is nourished and flourishes.
5.Destruction of yeast proliferation in the body.
6.Rebalancing and strengthening of the body’s immune system for the restoration of proper function.
7.Reduce stress, too much stress triggers yeast infections. Again, the immune system comes into play here. Since women do too much for their family and others, they need to address the issues of stress and relaxation.
8. Avoid eating sugary foods that triggers these infections as well.

Where can I find all necessary info on how to cure male yeast infection? Thank you.?

The doctor can prescribe a cream called (spelling?) Neostatin. This cream is on Wal-Mart’s $4 list and could probably be given at your local health department to help save $.

Try antifungal jock-itch cream for a little relief.

Can you give me the name of a good over-the-counter vaginal yeast infection cure?

admin — Sat, 30 Jan 2010 03:57:20 +0000

Something I could get from CVS? I know it’s a yeast infection, but the Vagisil isn’t actually killing the problem, only masking some of the pain.

Thank you, and please be descriptive as possible.

you need to get monistat. not vagisil. monistat is used to treat yeast infections. if it doesnt go away, you need to go to the doctor. he can give you a script that would make it go away in a day or two.
