These people who are telling you to eat the yogurt don't know what they're talking about. The bacteria in the yogurt are killed by your stomach acid, and it's the bacteria that you need to cure the yeast infection. You can put yogurt into your vagina, just use a plain, unsweetened (not vanilla) yogurt. I don't know how much or how often, but the person telling you to dip the tampon in the yogurt seemed to have a good idea. This isn't going to work as well as a yeast-infection medication (like Monistat). If you've never had a yeast infection before you should go to the doctor to make sure that's what it is, because if it's not a yeast infection the yogurt could make it worse.
you're suppose to eat it, but i can be used topically if it's completely plain, yet doesn't help as much as proper medicine and is just ick. don't put yogurt in your vagina.
Yes, it's safe.But make sure the yogurt you are using is plain and has active cultures.
You don't have to put it up there you can just eat the yogurt and it will still be effective.
Does not work like that. Yogurt (if eaten) has been shown to help prevent yeast infections. It does not fix them, no matter how much you put in your vagina.
you are supposed to EAT it not wear it. The natural cultures help to prevent yeast infections.
dip a tampon in plain yogurt that has active cultures twice a day . thats what i was told or, maybe i read it is cosmopolitan. I've never tested that theory though.
Ahhhh NO DO NOT PUT YOGURT INSIDE YOUR VAGINA... You should eat the yogurt to help build up your normal flora not put anything in it... Unless you get monastat or call your doctor and they will put you on something to clear up this problem but don't stick anything in it PLEASE
um try vagisil instead.
Yes, it is safe and effective to use yogurt inside your vagina. Not to mention, the cold is very soothing! There aren't any rules about how much to use or how often. It all depends on your comfort level. Some women coat tampons in yogurt for easy insertion. Some women fill the applicator with yogurt. I just use a little on my finger a few times a dy, and it has always worked.
