Re: Yeast Infection ---- [ladies only please]
Yeast infections are due to a fungus, not a bacteria. I don't think antibiotics will work on fungi.
I think.
antibiotics dont work for yeast infections....and yup there are over the counter preparations available....but if someone is having the symptoms for the first time ,the best thing to do is check with the doctor....as it might not always be a yeast infection and can b sth else.....which can lead to future complications....
Re: Yeast Infection ---- [ladies only please]
Eat yogurt..daily..
Re: Yeast Infection ---- [ladies only please]
Listen ladies. If god forbid you have something wrong "down there", GO SEE A DOC. Some of these things can escalate to the point that it will affect your ability to have children. Innocent infections, left untreated or treated improperly, can have disastrous effects. It can and does happen to the cleanest, purest of gals, nothing to worry over, the docs see it daily.
Re: Yeast Infection ---- [ladies only please]
Ira’s right, cranberry juice is for UTI’s (urinary tract infections).
Yeast infections are opportunistic, when your really stressed or your normal vaginal flora is wiped out - typically after an antibiotic course.
I would suggest you please see your doc & take meds, as it’s the most effective way to get rid of the yeast infection. Eating yogurt will help. Baking soda douche (google it) helps with the burning/itching symptoms - baking soda will neutralize the pH. Hope it helps.
Edit: 
I have never heard of ginger being in such a form. Please don’t.
Re: Yeast Infection ---- [ladies only please]
I have heard few drops of tea tree oil mixed with water but i am not sure...i agree with everyone else though, GO SEE A DOC!
Re: Yeast Infection ---- [ladies only please]
See a Doctor, don't be silly, things can deteriorate.
Also Try eating less of rice and bread (roti) and pasta etc. fruits and veg. are good for it as well,
Re: Yeast Infection ---- [ladies only please]
if you r really lookin for a desi remedy, apparently applying copeous amounts of yoghurt helps....(i'm sorry for viewing/replying to the thread-but thought this might help, since no one has mentioned it as of yet)
Really u need to go to the docs/chemist and ask for canesten cream, or the equivalent in your part of the world...
PS-
Generally nothing to do with personal hygeine- just one of those things that happens
Re: Yeast Infection ---- [ladies only please]
Isnt it supposed to help even more if applied to the area?
Re: Yeast Infection ---- [ladies only please]
You are not making chicken karahi that you need to insert ginger....i mean come on that is a sensitive area and you are thinking about trying out desi totkas???
Go see a doc asap. Infections such as yeast or uti's left untreated can lead to much more.
Re: Yeast Infection ---- [ladies only please]

On the contrary, desi totkas, or herbal remedies do seriously work...think about it- the world of pharamceuticals only evolved in the last few centuries, yet mankind has been around for thousands of years- always suffering from ailments and various illnesses-how have we survived....through these very herbal remedies!
Although I agree it's best to see a doc as soon as possible...but what the lady has said (yeast infection) is hardly gonna make her infertile (allah na karray)...
Re: Yeast Infection ---- [ladies only please]
Mr. Kazi: but how sure is she that she has a yeast infection?? We don't know that yet. I agree and myself use desi totkas for many things. I have treated yeast infections with just drinking yogurt lassi. But, what i am saying is if you are not sure of the problem why take chance with something like ginger?? When just peeeling ginger can cause burning sensations...God only knows what it will do when inserted. Khair, that is just how i feel on the topic.
Re: Yeast Infection ---- [ladies only please]
I think that’s for UTIs
Re: Yeast Infection ---- [ladies only please]
Apparently most patients have a good idea of what is wrong with them when they present to a doctor. I’m sure this lady isn’t so naive, she’s probably heard of what a yeast infection is like, or perhaps has suffered with it before…
as for the ginger, i’m sure it has to be made into some kind of paste, with other ingredients before being applied to that area…however, what the lady has done, which is sharing an unusual idea, may have prevented her from harming herself by using the ginger…
PS…Where did the chiken karahi come from…its kinda outta place in the femminine hygeine thread!
Re: Yeast Infection ---- [ladies only please]
Like everyone said, see a doctor. There are pills available that help within a day or two.
Re: Yeast Infection ---- [ladies only please]
Alright. I'm VERY MUCH SURE that it's yeast infection.
Re: Yeast Infection ---- [ladies only please]

Re: Yeast Infection ---- [ladies only please]

Re: Yeast Infection ---- [ladies only please]
Married NY,
I was planning on visiting a doc this week. It's actually quite frequent.
Re: Yeast Infection ---- [ladies only please]
Destinee when you say Yeast infection exactly what do you mean??
Since you havent been to the docs you maybe mistakingly taking discharge between your periods as yeast infection.
Cranberry juice will not cure yeast infection
its only good for urinary tract infections
So is Sugarcane juice
