Question Posted Wednesday October 22 2014, 11:49 am
I hate to say it, but I have a yeast infection. I'm not humiliated about it, as many women get at least one in their lifetime. Anyhow, obvious I don't like that I have one but I need to know how to get rid of one.
I've seen many things on the internet but I've come here in the hopes someone will be able to offer me personal experience? Either way, any advice helps. Thanks on advance!
So, see a doctor to confirm you do have yeast infection, unless you are aquatinted with the experience and have had them before.
Please, don't use 'at home remedies'. There is no reason to even try that and it will probably just leave the infection to fester. The over-the-counter cures at the drug store are very effective. To be on the safe side, pick a treatment that takes 3 or 5 days rather than 1 day cures. 1 Day cures are fine if you get them immediately at the very first hints of symptoms, but if the infection has been going on for a day or two you'll save yourself some stress and some money by going with a 3 day treatment.
Also, don't wear tampons during the treatment, but do wear pads, because some the medicine will leak out and you'll want to be able to switch those pads regularly for your own comfort. [ Razhie's advice column | Ask Razhie A Question ]
