What year was a yeast infection discovered?

Short answer: 1929

But really:

Yeast infections have existed for thousands of years, as long as there have been humans we have been getting sick. Fungus and infections are among the oldest known ways for getting sick.

So its a pretty safe bet that yeast infections were discovered before anyone was even counting what year it was. The real answer is too many thousands of years ago for anyone to know for sure. Herbal remedies and old world techniques for treatment have been documented for hundreds of years.

However; the first modern studies and clinical diagnosis of the infection using scientific methods began in 1929. That year it was entered into the disease database as Candidiasis.

Before that it was known as thrush, or by various other regional names.

A very bad yeast infection needs two treatments, a medicated suppository to cure the overgrowth of candidas in the vagina and lactobacillus -- acidophilus to get the right balance in your gut so it doesn't recur.

You can get this by eating yogurt with live cultures or by taking live lactobacillus -- acidophilus 2 tablets twice a day, one hour before meals. This is available OTC your pharmacist will have it in his refrigerator.

Wash all clothing, sheets and towels in hot water with a second rinse to remove all the soap residue. Wear 100% cotton panties and preferably 100% cotton pants. Polyester or nylon does not breathe and will trap in moisture. Keep your labia and folds as free from the discharge as possible by rinsing every time you use the toilet, pat dry.

Once the infection has cleared, taking two enteric-coated garlic capsules daily with 4,000 milligrams of allicin-alliin (which is the anti-fungal/ anti-yeast agent found in garlic.) to prevent reinfection, only use the lactobacillus -- acidophilus to cure a current infection or prevent reinfection, take it any time you are given an antibiotic.
