Sometimes with a particularly viscious yeast infection, you need two full rounds of the cream to get it gone!. It may also take more than two or three days to see improvement as well!. If you are getting repeat infections, you need to do some interventions to break the cycle!. First, you need all cotton undies- not the nylon sort with a cotton patch sewn on the crotch!. All cotton, all over!. Next, you need to get them sanitized!. Wash all of them with the hottest water they can stand, then put them in the microwave, wet, for 2-3 minutes!. You will need tongs to transfer them to the dryer- obviously!. Then bake them dry, bone dry!. Get rid of the colored toilet paper, swap out for white- non bleached if you can find it, but white and with no scent at all!. You need also to get out of the undies as often and for as long as possible!. You should not wear undies to sleep in, unless you need them for pads at night!. While you are at home, and have the infection- you need to be commando there!. Soak your tush in warm water with baking soda to help with the burn and external itch!. Get rid of any pantyhose you own, you can't really santize those well enough!. You should also consider wearing skirts, not pants- and natural fibers as well, especially if you wear pants!. Yeast needs it to be warm, dark and moist- so anything you can do to deny it those things helps!. And it probably wouldn't hurt to break down and go see the gyn!. There are prescription strength creams and tablets that can be quite helpful in getting rid of a nasty infection and helping to break the cycle of things!. If you don't see matters improve some by day 5 or 6, call and make the appointment!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Here are a few tips: not sure what you diet consists of but sugar is a big no no as it provides the environment for overgrowth of yeast!. Also refined foods like your whites also contribute to overgrowth!. Yogurt is very helpful as well as that help to tame the growth of bad bacteria just make sure you don't get the one with all the sugar in it, Stoney Field is a good one!.
I know you stated that you are not sexually active but you may be on BCP's for other reasons!. They can be a possible culprit as well!.
Avoid douching, or anything that may have deodorants in them as well!.
The baking soda soak is a good idea as well as wearing cotton panties!. Avoid tight clothing too!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
