This past year (at 32 years old) I had my first ever yeast infection. I was in tears in the middle of nights searching the internet for answers because I couldn't sleep due to the pain and itchiness. I finally found an idea in an Australian health book: insert plain yogurt into the vagina. So I cleaned and re-used the applicator tube that came with Monistat to do this before I went to bed. I also applied some externally. The next morning my symptoms were gone! I did it again for the next 2 nights just to be sure it didn't come back. It hasn't. Recently I had to take a course of antibiotics. When I finished, I did the yogurt treatment again just to be sure. I can't believe something so simple and effective isn't widely known!

∙ 11y agoProper hygiene will often prevent or stop early yeast infections.
Daily soap and water. Weekly vinegar are common preventive steps. As a caution, if you are using a soap that has a disinfectant that might contribute to a yeast infection, quit using it. Also, Ivory soap seems to keep under-breast yeast infections in check.
Use of a douche as a cleansing method may also be helpful.
If the infection is fully set into the flesh, cleansing (and vinegar) will not be enough; it will require medication.
There are a variety of over the counter medications. However, if they do not work within their stated time frame, you will require a more effective approach from a doctor.
If you are prescribed antibiotics, be sure to actually complete the full treatment and take all of the medication. Stopping early (because you think the symptoms are going away) can actually cause the yeast infection to come back even stronger.
