Will a yeast infection go away on its own?
Question by 0864213579: Will a yeast infection go away on its own?
I have a yeast infection and am also menstruating. I am pretty uncomfortable about using a suppository right now – will the infection clear up on its own or do I need to get medication? Also, is there a pill I can take or is the only option the suppository?

My advice is to see your DR soon.he or she will perform a pelvic exam, test the discharge and depending on the results, have you take a antifungal and or antibiotics to get rid of your symptoms. In the mean time I would avoid baths, hot tubs, spas, douching, and eat yogurt that contains lactobacillus. Lactobacillus is a type of “good” bacteria that’s common in your vagina. It may help reduce recurrent vaginal yeast infections. Hope this helps

It showed up about a week and a half ago. On monday I got a diflucan, and today i started using the monistat cream. So how long should it take before i see some improvement? Also, i have a rash on my vulva and tops of my thighs, is this normal with a yeast infection?

Last time I had a yeast infection, I got a horrible rash all around the tops of my thighs and around my underwear line. It lasted a few weeks, but after I started using medicated cream it went away in about 5-6 days.

Whats the best way to keep a yeast infection away while pregnant?
Question by Danielle H: Whats the best way to keep a yeast infection away while pregnant?
I am 20 weeks pregnant and I have a yeast infection. I went to the obgyn and they said to put creams on it and eat lots of yogurt, but most the time the creams don’t help. I was also wondering how much yogurt I should eat a day to help keep it away?

You may want to look into taking a probiotic. They are available in the vitamin section of most drug stores. Probiotics contain the active cultures that are in yogurt. Raspberry leaf tea (health food store), not raspberry flavored tea, also is good at keeping down yeast infections. Eating a couple of servings of an organic yogurt with live cultures is still a good idea even for the extra calcium, I like Stoneybrook farms. Cranberries are another help with infections. Good luck
