Yeast Infection?
Posted: 05-11-08 22:56pm

A couple days ago I noticed that my vagina extremely itched. At first I thought nothing of it until I saw this cottage cheese discharge on the outside and inside. After researching online I am pretty sure all of the signs point to a yeast infection.

So I started trying natural remedies because I'm trying to hold off going to the doctors for various reasons. For example I have tried my best to strictly cut sugar out of my diet except for the bit that is in yogurt. I've been eating A LOT of green vegetables, also on the side I've eaten meat, fish, and garlic. And only lots and lots of water.

So I've noticed that now I only itch during the night for some odd reason. And the discharge has completely left the outside of the vagina but there are still some in the inside. Lately though it seems that its being flushed out? Cause it keeps coming out when I either pee, wipe, or even just randomly. So it's starting to look normal again except I think its still a little red and swollen...

And I'm expecting my period in a few days so I'm hoping that will help flush it out?

Basically I'm just wondering if it seems that the infection is going away or if it has moved on to something more serious?

Continue to drink a lot of water and eat yogurt. Also, you can buy Monistat at Wal-Mart which is great for a yeast infection. If none of these things help, you may need to seek medical attention. If it is an infection, the only thing that will clear if up is medication - try the Monistat!

Boric Acid is my natural remedy of choice. Pick up some empty vegan 200-600 mg capsules (make sure it's vegan because you don't need any more sugar feeding the yeast) and fill them with the boric acid, and insert 2-3 times a day. I promise, your infection will be gone in no time.
