I get yeast infections somewhat easy. I used to get them constantly with my first boyfriend. My second boyfriend I got 2 or 3 a year. Lately I haven't been getting them much but did get a couple after my period and when I used some summers eve wash. I tried the wash again and got a really bad yeast infection so I'm sure that is related. Typically I just use water but after a period or a time when I am not feeling so fresh, is there anything I can use? Maybe I can wash around the area but be careful to not get it actually in there? Also, when I don't have a yeast infection, and things are normal-I think- sometimes I still get that white stuff stuck in the folds. I usually use my fingernail to kind of scrape it out. Is that normal? Do other people do that?
Also, does anyone drink asodophilus(sp?)milk for preventing yeast infections?

Date: 2008-09-03 02:58 pm (UTC)active (live culture) acidophilus in any form - milk, yogurt, or pills - can help prevent and cure yeast infections. direct application of live culture yogurt can be done to relieve yeast. use the applicator you get with a vaginal yeast cream, fill it with yogurt, and insert. you can also add some live culture yogurt to your vinegar duche. you'll want to use an unsweetened ("plain") yogurt.

idk about YIs, I've never gotten them. Can't help you there, sry bb =(
oh and PS all I've ever heard is that Summers Eve is really bad for you. This may be totally wrong but that's what I've always been told, so idk
