Hi Chaim,
I went to my gynae for pill insertion and antiboitic as well.. he advise me to drink Yakult and Yoghurt.
It did reduce the itch. but still comes back.. i was also given Gentrisone (steriod) this works wonders but the nurses says to apply sparingly.
I hope this will not come back.
itch like hell

Hi,
I had this infection quite many years back and keep recurring. It only finally stop after a year or two I remembered. It's really very frustrating coz of the trerrible itch.
Sometimes taking too much antibiotics can cause it too according to my GP. Recently I had it again coz I took a 10 day antibiotics for my very bad cough.
For daily cleaning, I will use Lactacyd (only the one that contain lactic acid). And never use soap or your bath wash to clean, it may cause more irritation. Don't over clean it and juz keep clean & dry.

I cannot remember but 1 got it from Watson. The wash solution is readily available but I remember I had difficulty finding the apparatus. I went to a few Watson/ guardian before I managed to find one.
hi,
I have problem with this infection. In fact still does, but at least it's not so bad now. There is a lot of things to do to bring it down totally. You can google for more information.
1) Cut Sugar intake, if can, don't take sugar at all.
2) Use a good probiotics supplements daily
3) Take grapefruits seed extract (This one helps a lot)
4) Take garlic supplements
5) Drink a cup of baking soda with lime juice everyday. If can, every morning and night.
The main culprits is body is too acidic. The main aim is to make the body as alkaline as possible. Eat greens vegetables and complex carbohydrate.
Gynae medicine is a temporary solution and it will reach a point where the body become immune to the medication. that's when you need more medicine and more frequently. Which will make it worse, try and eat food that will make your body alkaine.

Hi Cloudy, taking gingko nuts and probiotics (i'm taking Optibac) can help too, on top of using Feminine Wash (bought frm watsons) daily.
Justwanttobehappy: oh! i love gingko! okie! will go feast on it.. by the way, canned Gingko can do the trick?
Taitai: oh. i'm so clueless to these diet. i think i will stick to my Yakult daily. But Yakult high in sugar, than it defeat of low sugar diet to keep the itch at bay.
so embarrasing to discuss with close friends. hence forum is a good place to seek advice and share remedy. :b

Cloudless,
Pls don't take Yakult, as it contains sugar. Yeast loves sugar as they feed on them and multiply. You can order Culturelle from iherb to replenish the good bacteria in yr gut, but you need to keep it in the fridge. Try to avoid sugar and food that contain yeast like breads, cakes etc. Should you take antibiotics ( it kills good and bad bacteria so there is a tendency to for yeast to overgrow as it upsets the intestinal flora), you need to take culturelle for a week after you hv finished the full course of antibiotics. If you hv any other questions, you can pm me. I know yeast infection is really terrible, cos I hv been through it before.

Does anyone encounter vaginal dryness after a round of infection? I had yeast infection about a month ago. Doc gave me some capsule to insert for 10 days and it clears the itchiness. Had AF after that. AF has ended by vaginal is very dry which doesn't used to happen! Getting worried
Hi! Just chance upon this topic. There is a method that's really good n is going to work. I know how suffering this is. Eat yogurt! Yes!! Yogurt !! Any type,any brand and any flavor will do. I'm not selling or promoting any products here..
Take it once a day or twice a day if you can sense the uncomfortable feeling. At times,might feel alittle burning sensation too.. If all itchiness or discomfort goes off,carry on with the yogurt.
It's kinda like a tonic to our vaginal. It prevent yeast infection. It's really really suffering for ladies that's pregnant. Cos there is nothing much you can do due to you expecting.
It's really stressful.. I scratch till I cried.. Till it kinda bleed.. I know of this remedy only after I've delivered..
Since d day I started with this yogurt, I've never have this problem anymore. Take care..

I have tried this douche called Betadine (spelling maybe wrong) and popped Pearls YB. Hopefully, these will help to address my recurring yeast infection problem.
I am a huge yoghurt and Yakult drinker but these do not seem to help to keep the yeast at bay.
Any more tips, suggestion, recommendations? Would love to hear them.
Worse come to worst, have to pop diflucan whenever there is an attack.

No prob VL! I've been there so I know.. It's not easy.. Just imagine,I suffered for 8mths continuously!! Cos I was pregnant.. It s really suffering.. I scratch till bleed.. I scratch till I sit there n cry. Just imagine how severe it is.. If you want to see my gyne,I can give you his contact.. He is the one who teaches me the goodness of yogurt!!
I used to have yeast infection before. It's actually a very common condition among females except for the fact that it is very very bothersome with the itch and the discharge. So far, it has struck me 3 times. I was given a pill insertion and another pill that was taken orally. When I got pregnant, I had the worse yeast infection ever. There was no itch but I had sooo much discharge. I couldn't take the oral pill as I was pregnant so I had the pill insertion twice but it only stopped the infection for only a while before it came back again. So I had to deal with the discharge throughout my pregnancy. Gynae said that yeast infection is more common and harder to treat during pregnancy due to the surge in hormones and that was also what caused the spotting during the 1st trimester.
After I gave birth, the infection disappeared immediately. I have been breastfeeding for 7 months since my delivery and there's no sign of yeast infection at all and I hardly have got any discharge. I guess as long as there's no menstruation occurring, the incidence of yeast infection is very very low as you also tend to be drier in the vagina, given the fact that breastfeeding is a natural contraception.

Unsure about exactly what you are searching for, before acquiring any medicine or herbs you should consult a doctor. To find out more or to become knowledgeable you can go through some great sites like PositiveMed etc ... also you can get a free e-book on yeast infection here http://www.yeastinfectiontreatmentguide.com

i believe i dont have recurrent yeast infection but i m extremely prone to getting vaginal infection since i was in my early 20s. i may get it when i take a course of antibiotics sometimes or if i wear tight n non airy clothing... or use the wrong ph soap at the area. i got it even mr easily when i was pregnant. i just had one bout of infection recently n i was given the medication gyno travogen and i had a very sensitive reaction to it (stinging sensation and soreness for days) - it really was a bummer. be careful if doc prescribed gyno travogen. i used quite a few different pessaries prescribed by doctors truout my life... but gyno travogen is the worst! just wanted to share.
I know this comment is from 2013 but just need to clear this up, vaginal yeast infection is NOT bacteria.
In this world, there are 3 types of organisms that can affect all animals and humans adversely and they are 1) bacteria 2) virus 3) fungus.
Using medicine for 1 will not work on 2 or 3. Using medicine for 2 will not work on 1 or 3. For example a lot of Singaporeans like to anyhow also take antibiotics when they don't even know if their cough/flu is viral or bacterial. Antibiotics do NOT work on viruses at all. In fact in the west doctors rarely prescribe antibiotics unless they are sure that its a bacterial infection because antibiotics resistance is a risk.
Vaginal yeast is a fungus.
My discharge from using gyno travoge has a bit of blood like substance. Is it common. I'm also pregnant at the same time too.

Hi, not sure if this thread still alive.
Recently I experienced itchiness there and some discharge. im suspecting yeast infection and I'm trying to conceive, wondering if yeast infection affect the chances.
what are the tests that gynae need to perform to test for the infection? and roughly how much does it cost?

hi, I have recurrent yeast infection for more than 6months. Yellow discharge, itch, and painful.
I went to polyclinic, have medication oral and insertions. It came back again.
I was refer to KK, I did PAP smear, pelvis scan, abdominal scan, vagina scan. no cause of cancer or anything was found. All they do is ask me observe and come back again 1 yr later to check.
Im on TCM medication now and it doesn't not help too.
Any Solution?
