Q: Yeast

Okay - what remedies have women with chronic yeast infections found helpful? I feel like i've tried everything - yogurt, garlic, every kind of acidophlous, sugar free diet, the list is endless, but still I get an infection every month. It's so frustrating! My gp recommended I go on the pill to balance out my ph, but I don't do well on the pill. Has anyone got a good suggestion? I would really appreciate it.

I'm not sure I have any advice for you, but what else did your doctor say to you? Did he say why you get it every month or which hormone was involved etc. Because i'm similar to you and never figured out the reason.

Any more info would be helpful, sorry I couldn't help you though.

Ive had the same problems. Do you take birth control? Thats one thing they changed for me and it seemed to help. They took me off birth contrl with 2 types of hormones and changed me to one with just 1 hormone to keep my body balanced. Ive started to get them again now that im off the pill so I dunno, that might be something you should look into getting on if u arent

I too have yeast infections all the time. My doctor told me to eat less sugar, dry myself well after showering.. All the normal stuff. Nothing works. Ever. It's really frustrating and gross. I've been told that the pill often causes them. I've never had one until I got on the pill. I don't want to go off the pill though because I don't want to get preggers. Maybe someday there will be a pill to cure them for good.
