By the post I've read of yours I'm guessing you are a male. This is really a women question. Vaginal yeast infections are different. No women would ever stand to have one for years. Typically I've cured them by using prescription or over the counter treatments but last time they didn't work (I had to use them 3 times and now a month later the infection has come back) and I really can't afford to use them every time. If it doesn't go away in a week I'll have to get the otc stuff or get diflucan from my doc. But I know those only make the infection come back again.

Right now I am using garlic and acidophilus suppositories and the discharge is getting better but I'll try that.


I take 3 acidophilus pills every day and I should probably go on the candia diet (I'm pretty bad for sugar) or my yeast infections will keep on coming back. I can't keep going to my doc every time it happens. All the stuff you get from the doctor or over the counter isn't a cure. Yeah they call it that, but it's pretty obvious that it's not. But of course they don't want you to know that). I'm on the Nuva Ring for bc and tetracycline for perioral dermatitis (just started a week ago) right now. I know they aren't good if you're prone to yeast infections but I've tried everything else I could and I really have no other options. I'm trying to counteract the Antibiotics with the acidophilus.

What exactly does it do up there? Does it get assorbed or could the yogurt possibly rot in there? So is any cleaning need? Douching (which i know isn't good for you)?
