hello.
For women, vaginal yeast infection symptoms include:
⢠Thick white or whitish gray vaginal discharge resembling cottage cheese
⢠Itching and burning in or around the vagina
⢠Rash and tenderness in the outer lips of the genitalia
⢠Pain during urination or sexual intercourse
If you really feel that it is a yeast infection, you can opt to try home-made remedies which are also tried and tested such as:
Natural Remedies
⢠Dip your tampon into yogurt, insert it in your vagina, and let it stay there for a few hours. Do this twice a day, and continue this remedy for an extra day once the itchiness and burning have gone away. Make sure that you use plain and unsweetened yogurt.
⢠Garlic has strong antifungal properties. You may chew and swallow at least one raw garlic clove every day. For non-vaginal yeast infections, you may apply garlic paste on the affected area.
⢠Mix 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar with 2 cups of water. Put one clove of crushed garlic in it. Let the mixture stand for some time before using it as vaginal douche.
⢠Pour a few drops of tea tree oil on a tampon and insert it on the vagina.
⢠Extracts of aloe vera plant can relieve itching and burning sensations in oral, vaginal, and penile yeast infections.
Additional Home Remedies
⢠Make a paste out of water and elm powder. Apply the mixture to the affected area. This will relieve itching, but will not kill the fungus that's responsible for infection.
⢠Mix a teaspoon of hydrogen peroxide with 1 cup of water. Douche the solution once a day, and continue until a day after the itchiness and burning sensations subside.
