help me out with questions about yeast infections

[BeeUnique]

I can vouch for the acidophilus, I take it daily and swear by it!
I don't know if my body chemistry has changed or what but it seems I am more prone to infections lately. I hate medicine, especially antibotics....I always have a bad reaction to them in addition to whatever else my prob is. Not good.
You can get several kinds of acidophulis at GNC. The Mega is the most popular. It does have to be kept cold. You can also find some at Walmart for about a third of the price at GNC and does not have to be kept cold. Difference is not as many live/active cultures at time of manuf. I prefer the mega from GNC.
It is always a good idea if you are on antibotics to take acidophulis in addition to. Antibiotics wipe-out all the good bacteria from your body as well as the bad. I had a UT infection and after taking the antibiotics because my chemistry was so jacked up from that, got a yeast infection. My chiro told me about Acidophilus to replenish the good bacteria.
Definately worth a try.

Inadequete lubrication during sex can exacerbate yeast infections. If this keeps cropping up, invest in some KY or Liquid Silk.

...Or hell, do it anyway. You can never be too rich, too thin, or have too much lube.

I would definitely have her go to her Doctors.If it hasn't gone away by now, it could cause serious damage. Just go to run some cultures and make sure it isn't something else.

I would take Diflucan, one pill and it works pretty fast. Tell her to ask her Doctor about Diflucan as an option, but definitely see a doctor.
