I took an antibiotic for an infection (not related to female health) and it not only killed the bad bacteria- it killed the good bacteria too….now, I have a yeast infection!

I read online at http://www.msu.edu/~eisthen/yeast/yourself.html
that tree tea oil is wonderful for yeast infections.

I am not sure about this-but I was willing to give it a try. Has anyone ever used tea tree oil and does it really work for vaginal yeast infections? Are there any side effects of using tea tree oil (other than the slight burning)?

How long should I continue to use this? I was thinking two days may be three days at the max. Does it kill the yeast or would I have to resort to the over-the-counter remedy like Monostat?

Any advice from a nurse or doctor would be great. If anyone has any information about the natural side of remedies-please let me know.

I am not into natural remedies-but I do believe that they can work for some people.

Okay…so I have been under attack by the yeastie bastards. I treated the infection with Monistat Day or Night first; it didn’t work. Then, after that put a dent in my bank (), but did not supply results, I used the Equate 3 day treatment. This didn’t work either. I started looking online for natural remedies and found garlic was a enemy to yeast. I tried it and low and behold the infection seemed to clear up almost immediately. The next day I resumed sexual activity with my husband as usual, but afterwards I started feeling the itchy feeling and by the morning it had returned. I once again treated it with garlic and waited two more days before resuming intercourse, but when I did the infection again returned. How long does it take for garlic to get rid of this for good? I can’t keep relapsing back into agony. I have had this for over a week now, but I can’t go to the doctor on the account that I have no insurance and it costs a lot of money. Please help!

Ever since I have joined the military 2 years ago, I have been suffering from reoccurring yeast infections and bacterial vaginosis. I have taken Diflucan (Fluconazole) and Metronidazole (flagyl) and every other medicine you can think of with no positive results. Anybody in the military knows that they don’t really try and get to the root of the problem, they will just give you the medicine and send you on your merry way. I read an article on using a clove of garlic and vaginally inserting it to cure yeast infections. Has anybody ever personally tried it? What are some other natural remedies that I can use to treat a yeast infection so that I won’t have to continually go back to medical?
I think what the problem stems from is the fact that when I work, I’m sweating and slaving for hours and all the moisture down there isn’t good. I only wear cotton underwear and I can change my underwear anywhere for 2-4 times a day because it’s so hot. I work on helicopters and so I don’t have the leisure of sitting all day in an air conditioned room.
Monika, I use to be in the medical field prior to joining the military and it is a fact that garlic is a somewhat natural antibiotic. Recall how Louis Pasteur used it in his laboratory studies when coming up with an effective way of killing of bacteria and certain fungi. Allicin, one main compound in garlic, effectively fights off infection. I just want to know if anybody has ever tried it and the results they’ve gotten back from it.

Had one on Monday brought on my a strong dose of antibiotics and the Dr. gave me a three day course of antifungal cream which I took from Wednesday - Friday. All the symptoms were gone by Thursday but we still waited until last night to have sex - it hurt and burn especially when his thrusts rubbed against a particular spot within the vagina.
Is it possible that it was not completely cured even though the symptoms were gone?
Are there any natural remedies I can switch to because I hate using too many meds for fear of resistance.

She’s in excruciating pain every month in her abdomen, has ‘brain fog’, very bloated, hypothyroid *symptoms*, candida yeast overgrowth — she’s miserable, the doctors have been of no help, say there’s nothing wrong with her. Thyroid levels are all over the map, from one extreme to the other.

Alkaline diet didn’t help. At all. Almost went broke with the natural remedies. I refuse to give up. What can I do?

I have seen people write about how yogurt cures yeast infections - some say by eating it and others by actually putting it on the infected area. I’m all about natural remedies, but does this actually work?!

I am suffering with a systemic yeast infection and was wondering what natural remedies (eg. supplements, tinctures, herbs, vitamins/ minerals) could help me to get rid of the excess yeast in my system. I already know the following helps:
Yeast free diet
Garlic
Probiotics
Grapeseed extract
Apple-cider vinegar

I realise that there is no out right ‘cure’ but suggestions of anything that could help would be most appreciated.

Please remember im asking about SYSTEMIC (internal) yeast infection; not a vaginal, vulval or oral infection

@Natpractitioner - FYI a yeast-free diet includes a sugar free diet

I'm not having sex for some time now but I am feeling like I want it so I plan to masturbate. I've had this yeast infection for about 11 days now, sometimes it "seems" to go away if I drink lots of fluids. Today I used the yogurt remedy and the smell and discomfort disappeared for awhile.

I was wondering if masturbating can complicate the infection. I am getting Monistat tomorrow, as I feel natural remedies are starting not to work for me.
