1. How To Cure A Yeast Infection Naturally - 12 Good Home Remedies For Curing A Vaginal Yeast Infection And Best Preventive Measures<br />Please help me with this vaginal question. I am a young girl and have never had sex and my genital area is VERY itchy. Please think i may have a yeast infection but i don’t think so because i don’t have any weird smelling discharge, and my discharge is normal color too.Are there any home remedies to curing a yeast infection if i even have one? Could it just be a little rash cause when i put balmex on it, it seems to feel better but not completely better. It started out not so itchy like 5 days ago but today and yesterday night it was SO ITCHY! But after balmex it’s a little better but when it wears off it will itch a lot again.<br />This is a question we got from this young girl who thought she had a yeast infection. And when you read around the net, you will find many people in the same position like her, trying to treat their yeast infection without even knowing if it is actually a yeast infection or not.<br />However, it does sound like a yeast infection. You can try an over the counter product, like Monistat, if you can do that. Find out if there is a free health clinic in your area (try searching the internet or calling a county services office).<br />My only caution would be that if you start to have any bleeding that isn't your period, or if the skin on the outside of the vaginal opening begins to bleed, get to a doctor ASAP, even if you have to tell your step-dad. I had an allergic reaction to sulfa a few years ago that I thought was a yeast infection for over a week.<br />I didn't figure out that it wasn't until a 7-day OTC treatment didn't work. By the time I decided to go to the doctor it was an emergency situation- I was losing the skin on the outside of my vagina. It turned out to be a rare type of allergic reaction, easily mistaken for a yeast infection. In fact, I'd had it before, and it had been misdiagnosed by another doctor. I had to take some heavy pain medication.<br />I don't mean to scare you, but I wanted to warn you that if the OTC yeast infection treatment doesn't work, you HAVE to go to the doctor Also; I think I just saw on TV that Vagisil makes a home test kit for yeast infections now. You could try that if you want to be surer.<br />Other helpful suggestions:<br />1- Always change your underwear if they are damp for any reason<br />2 - Change out of wet clothes/bathing suit immediately<br />3- If you can, try going without underwear (the air will help)<br />4- If not, be sure you only wear cotton underwear, not nylon<br />5- Wear loose-fitting pants, no stockings<br />6- Try putting plain yogurt on it to ease the itch<br />7- Try to keep the whole area as dry as possible- yeast grows in warm moist areas<br />8- Make sure you wash your hands often- try to use a hand soap that is NOT anti-bacterial, you want to increase the good bacteria in your body<br />9- Eat yogurt a few times a day<br />10- if you can find one, try taking acidophiolous supplements (I spelled that wrong)- these are the active cultures found in yogurt that increase the good bacteria that should normally be in your system and prevent yeast infections<br />10- Don’t have sex, or if you do, the use a condom<br />11- Don’t share towels/soap<br />12- Don’t take any antibiotics- they kill all the bacteria in your system, which brings on the yeast<br />The other prevention measures can help anytime you may have to take antibiotics for another illness.
