How can you cure your yeast infection without seeing a doctor?

Answer 1

If you have had a yeast infection before and/or are CERTAIN that is what it is, then over-the-counter creams/suppositories like Monistat or Vagistat can be very effective. They come in different strengths (1 day, 3 day, 7 day treatments), available from any drugstore, supermarket, etc. However, if you aren't sure, definitely go see your doctor. Although admitting you are having issues "down there" can be embarrassing, treating another condition such as a bacterial infection with yeast infection creams won't help you and can even cause more problems.

Answer 2

Basically the reason you have a yeast infection is because there's an imbalance in your body. A healthy person has a balance between the yeast in their body and the good bacteria in their body.

Too much yeast, you have a yeast infection. Too much bacteria, you have a bacterial infection.

So, when you have a yeast infection you essentially have too much yeast in your body relative to the good bacteria. The natural way to treat it and bring back that balance is to starve the yeast and introduce more good bacteria into your body.

Oh and BTW - That's why you often get relief from using the over the counter meds temporarily, and then the yeast infection comes back. The creams aren't changing the source of the problem. They are just killing the yeast they come in contact with, and not balancing the yeast/bacteria in your body and actually sometimes end up making things a lot worse.

Oh BTW2 - That's also why many times you'll get a yeast infection after using antibiotics. Antibiotics kill all the bacteria in your body, the good and the bad. When that happens the balance between the yeast and good bacteria is off, and once again and you get a yeast infection.

Things you can add to your diet (to help promote good bacteria) are live yogurt cultures (or take Acidophilus), plenty of water, fresh vegetables, lots of protein rich foods, whey protein, raw garlic, nuts, seeds, oils, millet, rice and oat brans

Things you should remove from your diet (to starve the yeast) are all sodas, sugars, fruit, fermented foods, foods containing white flour, alcohol (especially beer), antacids and any product that has yeast or mold

Changing your diet will definitely get you on the road to balancing the yeast and good bacteria, but what I would also recommend is to use a homeopathic solution to help naturally speed up the process.

I always feel if there's a natural way to do something, then it's best to avoid the chemicals. I would look for an natural product, that can be taken orally to promote re-growth of the good bacteria in your body.

There are a few out there, I think they are probably all pretty good. One that I have used and was very effective for me was is yeastrol.

Yes....I know this is going to sound very weird but put yougurt on your vagina not in the opening but just around the lips and clit area and do this for about 3 to 4 days and see if there is a differnce. Also you can buy yeast infection cream at the store. Its not very expensive and if that doesn't take care of it. I would advice you too see your doctor.
