monistat..

GO TO THE DOCTOR, THERE IS NO BEHIND THE COUNTER MEDS FOR THIS, YOU MUST GET THE PROPER MEDICATION OR IT WILL GET WORSE AND THE INFECTION COULD SPREAD!!

I'm a guy but i know girlies use Canestan in the UK , seems to work ...but like I said i'm a guy who pays attention :O) hahaha

Plain Yogurt with live active cultures.Don't eat it! Apply it!

immediate temporary relief, try canestan one. you get the cream which cools and soothes and then you get a tablet which fights the cause. For further prevention you should eat lots of probiotic yoghurt and less chocolate.
I don't know about applying yoghurt but eating it does help. I suppose applying it would cool you a bit.

you need an anti-fungal medication, one dose. Call your doctor .Other option: There are some over the counter yeast medications that are self-explanatory.

monostat 7

If you've never had this sort of infection, go to your doctor to make sure that's what it is. If you KNOW that's what it is, there are various over the counter medications available. Some come with creams for immediate relief.

Eat some yogurt, I've also read you can put plain NON-FLAVORED yogurt on the offending area for a natural, no medication fix. I believe you use it as you would monistat.

if it is just starting, and just itchy, the best thing is a white vinegr/ warm water douch.it neutralizes the yeast base. Trust me

Nystatin ointment or cream is prescription only but the best. Otherwise use vagisil. To prevent them in the future eat yogurt on a regular basis. The cultures actually prevent yeast from growing.

There are a lot of natural remedies for yeast infections, or you could go the medicinal route. I wouldn't recommend the Monistat One day thing, many women end up having to re-treat after using that. your best bet would be the Monistat three day. It comes with an external cream to help the itchies.

Here is a link to some natural remedies, and they really do work. http://community.livejournal.com/vaginapagina/5865641.html#anchor4

This is not immediate.for that go to the doctor. BUT, to keep it away, use:

Yeast-Cleanse (with Caprylic Acid, Grapefruit Seed Extract, and Tea Tree Oil)
Sold By Solaray
Sold @ Any Health Food Store (Organic Products)

I used to get them all the time, I take 1 pill three times a day, and have never had a problem.

Another suggestion.5-6 drops of the grapefruit seed extract in 1 reuseable douche container full of water, and use right after your period or when you want to feel fresh.Google (Grapefruit Seed Extract)

"Vulvovaginal Candidiasis, caused by the overgrowth of the fungus Candida, affects nearly 75% of all adult women at least once their lives.

Candida is a relatively harmless yeast, normally found in the mouth, throat, intestines and genitourinary tract of most humans. In the yeast state, Candida is simply a non-invasive, sugar-fermenting organism, whose purpose is to destroy harmful gut flora (bacteria). In a normal environment, Candida is controlled by a properly functioning immune system and helpful "friendly" gut flora like Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacterium bifidum and Bacillus laterosporus, all of which suppress undesirable bacteria and yeasts and help maintain a balanced, healthy immune system.

When the balance between the normal microorganisms of the vagina are disrupted, however, Vulvovaginal Candidiasis can result.

Commonly referred to simply as a vaginal yeast infection, vulvovaginal Candidiasis disorder occurs when the acidity of the vagina changes. This may be due to hormone imbalance, in conjunction with other illnesses (such as Diabetes), in those who are immunosuppressed (such with AIDS or HIV), in those who use oral contraceptives, and commonly, with antibiotic use (particularly tetracycline)[.1, 2] Pregnancy, prolonged use of steroid hormones, acid blockers and ulcer medications, immunosuppressants or anti-inflammatory drugs, excessive stress, and improper diet can also contribute to Vulvovaginal Candidiasis.[3]

Vulvovaginal Candidiasis is not a sexually transmitted disease, nor is it an airborne infection. It can, however, be transmitted from one partner to another through intercourse, deep kissing or oral sex.[4] Fortunately, if the other person is healthy, his or her immune system will destroy the cells and prevent infection. Still, an estimated 12%-15% of men develop symptoms such as itching and rash following sexual contact with an infected partner.[5] It is also possible for breastfeeding mothers to transmit the infection to their infants.

The National Institutes of Health[6] lists the following as the most common symptoms of Vulvovaginal Candidiasis:

Abnormal vaginal discharge (ranging from a slightly watery, white discharge to a thick, white, chunky discharge)
Vaginal and labial itching or burning
Redness and/or inflammation of the vulva
Pain with intercourse
Painful urination

Diagnosis is made through visual examination, symptom review and in some cases, laboratory tests. Once identified, Candida can be successfully treated through several measures. Remedies include the determination and elimination of any causative factors, application of antifungal medications, lifestyle changes (such as quitting smoking and reducing or avoiding alcohol consumption), removing (or reducing) pollution and toxins in your environment, and strengthening your immune system through the combined application of a healthy lifestyle plus proper nutrition and probiotic supplements.

Before undergoing any treatment – conventional or otherwise – be sure you are dealing with a true vaginal yeast infection. Self-treating a suspected vaginal yeast condition may delay diagnosis and effective treatment of a similar vaginal infection that will not respond to yeast treatments. In fact, one study by the American Social Health Association found that 70% of women self-treated vaginal infections before calling a health care provider. Most often, they incorrectly thought they had a yeast infection when, in fact, it was bacterial vaginosis.[7]
Common treatments include antifungal medicines in the form of tablets, creams, ointments or suppositories, including [8]:

Femstat: an antifungal type of antibiotic applied as a vaginal cream. Femstat is available as a 1-day or 3-day treatment. See http://www.drugdigest.org/dd/dvh/uses/0,. for details.

Clotrimazole: Clotrimazole comes as a lozenge, topical cream or solution formula, as well as in over-the-counter vaginal creams and tablet forms. See http://www.aegis.com/factshts/network/ac. for more information.

Monistat: these prefilled applicators come in 1, 3 or 7 day treatments. See http://www.monistat.com/index.jsp. for details.

Nystatin (Mycostatin): comes in tablet or cream form. See http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/drugi. for details.

GyneCure: comes as vaginal ointment and ovule. See http://www.rxmed.com/b.main/b2.pharmaceu. for more information.

Diflucan: an oral suspension not recommended for use in pregnancy. See http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/drugi. for details.

Cranberry Juice: always helpful for bladder infections, cranberry lowers the ph of urine. Supporters say that the juice may also help prevent the occurrence of yeast infections and aid in their treatment.[9]

Lactobacillus acidophilus: yogurt! You can ingest it, or…as some braver folks do, insert it vaginally [see http://www.msu.edu/user/eisthe. You can also take acidophilus pills from your local health store.

Not so common remedies[10, 11] include:

Garlic: yes, garlic. Supporters of this tried and true method say that a fresh, peeled clove of garlic can cure a yeast infection in a matter of days. Wrap the peeled garlic clove in gauze, tie the ends with unwaxed, unflavored dental floss – but leave a bit of floss hanging for removal – and insert it vaginally. Leave it in for several hours or even overnight. Repeat as necessary until the infection has resolved. Others say you can also use the garlic capsules sold as dietary supplements in health food stores.
Tea tree oil: commonly used in Italy, tea tree oil has been shown to be effective against yeast. Widely available, this essential oil treatment may be just what helps you. Check with your local alternative health practitioner for proper methods of use.

Boric acid vaginal suppositories (600 mg/day for 10 days) are effective, even in cases of resistant infections.
Whichever treatment you try, vaginal yeast infections should be cleared up within two weeks or less of treatment; often even within a few days. If you suffer from recurrent or resistant infections, see your doctor."
