I have a yeast infection and the doctor gave me a prescription. But I want to know if there are any home remedies to ease my discomfort.
First of all, some of the answers I'm getting are mildly offensive….I got this infection from the antibiotics I was taking for strep throat…so don't judge me. Thank you.
Yogurt might help…
But if you can, go to a store that sells herbs and buy one or both things…
1) Bifidofolus
2) Yeast killer (different names for it)
These things are natural and works fast!
Best wishes!

No there are no real home rememdies. Use the meds and be sure you eat plenty of yogurt with live active cultures every day or take acidophillus capsules daily to help prevent yeast infections in the first place.

yes, yougert with live cultures, eat it, rub it down there and get as much inside your vagina as you can for about five days, just like you would with monostat, it really works, also, if you take acidophyllis daily you can avoid most yeast infections

From what I know, there are things that can help prevent – like natural plain yogurt with active cultures (you eat it)-that can help inhibit yeast infections, but I don't know of any homeopathic remedies. Most yeast infections can be treated with over the counter meds found at local drug stores. If you doctor prescribed you something, it may be that what your doctor sees may need something stronger than the typical over the counter (OTC) products. You might want to call your doctors office and ask if you can use an OTC instead of the prescribed product.
