I Think i Have A Yeast Infection...?!


Question: I'm not 100% sure I have a yeast infection. But my doctor told me if I did have one it would be good to soak in 3 inches of warm water mixes with 3 tablespoons of povidone-iodine for ten minutes. Well, I've been itching down there for the past 2 days uncontrollably so I decided to do that and once I got out of the bath tub the itch was all gone but not my vaginal lips are extremely swollen to the point where it is uncomfortable to close my legs at all. What is wrong with me and what should I do?

I've had two before, used oral medication both times, but I have no way of getting it this time. So, I was hoping there was a home remedy.

I don't know of any home remedies. I do know that you can monostat at any Walmart, drug store, etc. I think there is even one that is a one day treatment. You can get cream for the outside discomfort also. If you are prone to getting yeast infections you can take supplements by AZO that you can get at any store also. Eat a lot of yogurt. Don't wear tight clothing. If you don't get relief soon, I would definately go to a doctor. You should not suffer.

there is no home remedy, trust me I have delt with them for 15 years. You have to go get meds, even the 7 day generic cheap one will work. You are only going to get worse...

Monistat at your local drug/grocery store.
