Okay, for the ladies who feel the itch down 'there'

Okay ladies please listen, this may help a lot of the commenters on this post.

Antibiotics dont always help yeast infections, in most cases where you keep getting more and more yeast infections and dont know why, its because of the constant antibiotics you're taking from your doctor or otc.

Your body has GOOD bacteria AND BAD bacteria. The whole explanation of a yeast infection is the overgrowth of the bad bacteria in your vagina. Many things cause this, imbalanced pH (our vaginas are acidic, yeast likes alkaline areas to grow in), tight fitting pants, spandex, not enough water, wiping back to front instead of front to back, poor diet of sugary food (yeast loves sugar), not changing your pads or underwear, constantly moist around your vagina and wearing the wrong underwear (cotton is best and breathable - yeast thrives in the warm moist environment of the vagina- in AND outside the vagina), etc.

Now, when you are constantly taking antibiotics you're killing the good bacteria your vagina and gut need to be healthy, we all need this bacteria, it keeps our gut regular for bowel movements and our vaginas happy. When you take antibiotics you essentially are killing the bad bacteria and your infection is gone, BUT, it takes longer for your good bacteria to reproduce and the bad bacteria overgrows once more leaving you with reoccuring, chronic yeast infections.

The answer is to STOP taking antibiotics and learn how to take care of your body from the inside out with natural antifungal medicines that are available to you anywhere without a doctors prescription.

Tea tree oil, coconut oil and oregano oil are antifungal and antibacterial oils that when diluted with a carrier oil can be placed on a pad and worn to treat your yeast infection from the outside.

Whole -not chopped, not minced- garlic can be used as a nightly suppository inside the vagina to kill the bad bacteria. It is the most natural cost effective treatment that does not hurt, does not sting and you can not feel it. Take it out in the morning and do this again at night. You can make frozen suppositories out of coconut oil, a few drops of tea tree oil and an opened capsule of vaginal probiotics to soothe and treat your vagina.

Vaginal Probiotics, they are the good bacteria that you yourself can supplement into your body after taking antibiotics, or taking before you suspect a yeast infection or if you have a yeast infection.You can find these anywhere (drugstores such as cvs, target, walmart, gnc, etc) from many different price ranges. I suggest investing in a refridgerated vaginal probiotic as these are the strongest and healthiest probiotics for you. Probiotics are supposed to be refridgerated because they are microscopical living organisms that need to be kept alive by the time you take them to replenish your body. Unrefridgerated probiotics either are close to dying/expiring before the date printed on the packaging or are already dead by the time you buy them off the shelf or online.

Remember the key to all of this is to drink plenty of water during or before the infection, avoid antibiotics, replenish your body with refridgerated vaginal probiotics, and treat your infection with a natural antifungal.

I hope i helped someone as this is the answer most doctors will not tell you because it does not make them money.
