Even if you change your hygiene habits, you still need to treat the infection. You can buy over the counter Monistat to get rid of it. Also, a good way to keep from getting them is eating a yogurt every day(make sure it has acidophilus) in it. It is a natural way to prevent yeast infections.
I recommend getting treated asap. You don't want it to get much worse, the itching can get pretty bad!
you can buy medication from the store for them. but usually they recommend getting diagnosed by a doctor if its your first one. but if your mom wont listen then just buy the stuff or have someone else get it for you.
teracyclene at any pet store or go to an er
Try Vagisal
lots of natural yogurt
you can go to your obgyn. otherwise, just go to the store and buy something like monistat. use it as directed and the infection should go away. good luck!
Have you tried any of the over the counter medications for yeast infections like monistat? I would try those and if they don't work go to a doc so they can check it out :)
There are some gel medication in the Pharmacies. For Yeats infection. Mostly women has it..Don't worry.
live a Cleaner life. Don't do bad things and God will save you.
Protect you. Show you the Right way.
Well, for a small case of irritated skin or chafing just was with an antibacterial soap twice daily and keep it dry by wearing clothes that breath. Then be sure to wash the area consistently and continue to use antibacterial soap (something mild that wont infect your urinary tract).
I'm sorry to say but your mom is ignorant or too embarrassed to discuss it with you!
"Better" hygiene not cure the problem, you need medication. Treatments can be bought in the chemist and that is what you need. Tell your Mom that and get her to read the info at the link below. Good luck.
you have to get an over the counter treatment like Monostat. It comes in 1, 3 and 7 day treatments. It won't just go away and if it gets really bad it can spread and do serious damage. Eating yogurt can help balance out your body's ph, but it won't cure it.
Monistat and other yeast infection creams are good for temporarilly relieving the symptoms. The best way to actually get rid of the infection is an anti-fungal medication such as Diflucan. Your mother should really take you to the doctor. In the meantime, wash using a gentle soap (no fragrances) and warm water, thoroughly dry yourself after showering and urinating and always remember to wipe front to back.
First of all, your mother needs some education. As hygiene is important and may play some role in the contraction of yeast infections, alot of women get yeast infections for other reasons. And her not paying better attention to your health and well being is a form of abuse.
You must be treated for a yeast infection. There are creams that you can buy at the drug store that if used early enough are 100% eaffective. However, if you do not take care of it soon, you will need medical attention.
You know, some women get yeast infections as much as once a month. They can also be caused by taking prescription antibiotics, changes in soaps, or even being more physical (athletically) than usual. They are caused from a change in your body chemistry.
You deserve for your mom to treat you better and take more interest in your health, especially with things that you may not be comfortable discussing with someone else, I'm sorry she wasn't. Please don't be afraid to explain to her you need her help.
Go to the doctor
