Does a yeast infection always include odor and discharge, or can it just be a pe!


Question: Does a yeast infection always include odor and discharge, or can it just be a persistant itch!?
I have had an itch for about a month and dont have medical coverage so I am trying to treat it OTC!.

someone told me to douche with a little hydrogen peroxide to kill bacteria, and I am using vagisil but these together dont seem to be enough!.

I was trying not to use the Monistat suppositories because I have a fear of getting a Urinary Tract Infection, that one is the worst!!

do you have any home remedy suggestions!? I am about to try a 3 day suppository treatment if all else fails!. Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
No it dont always have odor and discharge!. I would say it is just a yeast infection, the monistat doesnt cause urinary tract infections, douching does!. Do the monistat, cause I have heard two diff!. docs say that douching will push bacteria farther in there and make your infection worse!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

Monistat does not cause UTI!. It will help with the yeast infection though!.

You can eat UNsweetened yogurt or take probiotics!. They never worked for me though!.

Different types of infections:

Signs of yeast infections:
White, cottage cheese-like discharge
Swelling and pain around the vulva
Intense itching

Signs of bacterial vaginosis:
A white, gray or yellowish vaginal discharge
A fishy odor that is strongest after sex or after washing with soap
Itching or burning
Slight redness and swelling of the vagina or vulva

Signs of trichomoniasis
A watery, yellowish or greenish bubbly discharge
An unpleasant odor
Pain and itching when urinating
Most apparent after your period

*DON'T* douche with hydrogen peroxide!! If you DO have a yeast infection, the hydrogen peroxide will kill your good bacteria (the bacteria that kills the yeast!) instead of killing the yeast!.

At home remedies: It's really weird!.!.!.but inserting a clove of garlic every day (take it out at night) actually cleared my symptoms up!. It took about a week and a half though :-/

If you're looking for a faster fix, I would do Monistat!. And to keep away the UTI, drink plenty of water and cranberry juice! :)Www@Answer-Health@Com

Well if u have itch then u should use vagisil crem Www@Answer-Health@Com

The signs and symptoms of a yeast infection are:

- white, cottage cheese-like discharge
- may or may not have an odor
- dryness
- bleeding from irritated skin
- painful urination
- painful intercourse (intercouse NOT recommended when you have and infection)
- a feeling of just not being normal
- itchiness
- burning
- soreness
- digestive problems

Here are some safe, natural cures you can implement!.

Avoid Sugars
Avoid sugars and complex carbs for a week!. they "feed" the Candida fungus!.

Clothing
If you're not treating the infection with the Tree Tea Oil solution mentioned below, air out the infected area while you're sleeping at night!. Oxygen kills yeast!. Don't wear underwear!. Or wear cotton underwear during the day!.

Grapefruit Seed Extract
Add grapefruit extract to your water during the day (raises acid levels in the body)!. This will decrease the candida in your body!.

Probiotics
Eat probiotics like cottage cheese and yogurt!. They will increase the acidophilus in your system and this in turn will fight off the candida yeast!. You can also take acidophilus supplement pills!.

Hygiene
Shower frequently!. Avoid scented soaps and antibacterial soaps!. Don't take baths while you have the infection!. If you go to the gym, shower immediately when you get home!.

Diet
Drink lots of water and eat plenty of fiber to flush the infection out of your body!. As a yeast infection goes away, the candida albicans release toxins which increase symptoms temporarily!. Flushing these toxins out with water will speed your recovery!.

Tea Tree Oil
Apply tea tree oil to the infection by applying it to a tampon and keep it inserted overnight!. You can also just apply the Tea Tree Oil directly to the irritated area!.

The Yogurt Cure
Get some unsweetened yogurt!. That means no sugar or aspartame!. Fage yogurt works well for its additional yeast cultures!. Dip a tampon in the yogurt and insert the tampon for several hours (5-7) at a time!. Repeat the process until the infection goes away!.

The probiotic bacteria in the yogurt kills the infection quickly!.
