Question:
Vaginal yeast infection.....home remedies that can get me through the weekend when my doctor's in the office

i've never had one before but think i may have one now. just today i started to have symptoms and it's driving me CRAZY. the itching and burning and raw feeling is BEYOND irritating! ANY ADVICE just to get me through until the doctor's office opens Monday?

Answer: yogurt... eat it, to help your insides, and take a little container (the live non flavored unsugared kind) get some tissue or cotton balls, and smear this all over the genital area.. It has a cooling effect and the live cultures in yogurt helps to balance out the yeast count down there.. Also drink cranberry juice. Do not eat anymore sugar for the weekend. thats what feeds the yeast, sugar.. so cut out all sodas, and sweets.. and carbohydrates, like french fries. potatoes and corn, pasta.. anything with high sugar count, or makes sugar in your body.. Also try to keep that area as dry as possible.. Use a sanitary napkin to soak up any sweat.. Wash well and dry well.. .. Another help is baby diaper rash cream.. the zinc oxide stuff, it look like white toothpaste.. that can help also (after all diaper rash is nothing more than a yeast infection on babies bottoms) ..
