I went to the doctor about my vaginal discomfort and was diagnosed with a yeast infection :(
His advice was no panty hose, don't sleep with panties, no wet bathing suits (salt water swimming was better than pool swimming). I asked about yogurt/acidophilous - he said you'd have to eat 16 yogurts. He also said it may not go away completey while I'm pregnant. He gave me 2 RX's - one for Monstat 3 (which is over the counter - duh) and one for an external cream. When I took that to the pharmacy, they no longer had what it was but couldn't susbsitute the generic because he didn't sign allowing generics. So asked them to call the doctor's office - they did and got another brand name cream (mycilog? - it's in another room) instead. I did buy some yogurt (Stoneyfield Farm) - I figured eating some won't hurt anway.
I had problems with infections several years ago...but they've gone away. I'm trying to remember what else is good for fixing them - I was on a funny organic thing (some sort of bitter grapefruit extract) and a special diet at the time which helped kick them. Any advice?
