Yeast Infection - Any Advice?

[earthbend.livejournal.com]

My first yeast infection was in April, diagnosed by a doctor, and treated with prescribed medication. Since then I seem to be getting them more often than usual. ): My second one was very recent and occured in mid-June; I remembered the symptoms and used Monistat to clear it up. Everything was fine until today when I noticed the very familiar white discharge.
( Timeline: )

At any rate, I'm not sure how to treat this one. I wasn't sure if taking Monistat/other things would be bad to do so close after one past treatment. Should I try my hand with these at home treatments first before heading to the doctor who will most likely prescribe me more OTC YI medications? Or should I just make the trip? Any other suggestions or advice would be great. Thanks! I just need to know that I'm not alone with this because I'm really feeling disheartened about this happening to me. ):

Stress *inducing* a period rather than delaying it

My friend who always comes to me for advice on things having to do with menstruation, sex, and the like, is telling me she thinks she got her period EARLY because of the stress/pain of getting a tattoo yesterday. And she said her doctor told her stress induces periods...She will not take no for an answer, but I've certainly never heard anything like that before.

Any truth to this? I've heard of stress being a big factor in DELAYING periods, but never inducing one early.

What do you think of this article?

No sex, please.  We're middle class.


"... concrete power resides in America's careerist technocracy, for which the elite schools, with their ideological view of gender as a social construct, are feeder cells."

quoi??

"... family life has put middle-class men in a bind:  they are simply cogs in a domestic machine commanded by women."

a woman wrote this?

Then she goes on to talk about Victorian folks, "bourgeois white culture" (whatever that is), and how blues and rock'n'roll influence sex.  What the EFF EVER!

Probiotics?

Hello everyone!

I'm just on the tail end of a miserable yeast infection (thank you all so much for helping me with it!) and I really want to keep it from coming back. Since there are many sweaty, wet days in my future (thanks, marching band), I'd like to do all I can.

So my question is, what exactly are probiotics? Is it a pill or something similar? Could I get them at Walgreens or a similar drug store? What are some good brands/knockoffs? And is eating yogurt a good idea, as well? We have so much yogurt in my house.

Thank you so much again for always being so helpful :)
