Yeast Infection that will NOT go away!!

[toker.livejournal.com]

I've tried monostat various times, and it NEVER goes away. I've tried the diflucan pills as well, no luck. :( I also tried the acidophilus pills. Took them orally though. ANYWAY, getting to my point - I purchased boric acid powder to douche, but I don't know exactly how to go about doing it. I've never douched before. I have a syringe and everything, I just don't know what to do next. Help, please?! I'm so tired of having this damn yeast infection! :(

Thanks in advance!

I've heard yogurt helps.

Boric acid will help with yeast or BV, so you're covered there, as you may know.

All you do is this: Take a spoonful of boric acid, and mix it with some warm water. The proportions here don't really matter, although I suspect it'd be a moot point if you diluted it too much. Suck the solution into the needle-less syringe. Stand in the bathtub/shower/over the toilet, and squirt the solution into your vagina.

That's all there is to it! Just be sure that the water is flowing back out as you squirt - you want to avoid forming a seal between the syringe and your vag, because you don't want to be forcing water through your cervix. I sometimes stick a finger in there next to the syringe to make sure the water can easily flow out.

Good luck getting all that cleared up! On the off chance that boric acid and garlic fail, it may be worth seeing a doctor to check if something in particular is causing the recurrence - but that's an off chance and in all likelihood will not prove necessary.

(And, slightly off-topic: your icon is the most adorable thing I have seen in YEARS.)
