Yeast Infection Tip No 1

by Karen
(Auckland, New Zealand)

I recently had a yeast infection and had read about freezing yogurt so as to insert it. I didn't have any suitable containers so I took a heaped desert spoon of yogurt and emptied it on a plastic tray and froze these little piles of yogurt. They were easy to insert.

They felt as if they burned for about a second or two on the outer vulva area but once inside stopped burning. It did feel quite uncomfortable for 3-4 minutes almost as if my body was recognising that something unnaturally cold was inside it. I felt like I needed to pass a bowel movement. But this uncomfortable feeling soon went too.

The yogurt took about an hour to melt inside of me. I needed a panty liner almost tucked up inside of me to keep it there but that worked quite well.

The yogurt I used was called Symbio and contains acidophilus, bifidus and casei. I'm not sure if it cured me or not because I also took garlic tablets and a probiotic supplement too, and I ate some of the yogurt.

I noticed an almost immediate reduction in the itchiness and within three days the yeast infection was gone but it could have been one of the other things that did it. If I get another dose of it I will do the same things again.

Thanks fellow kiwi!

Good comment, Karen. I guess with the time differences it was inevitable that a fellow kiwi would be the first to give a tip!

I like that you told women exactly what sensations they might experience as they try this because often that is something that worries people when they try any new method of treatment.

Interesting that you mention the yogurt burning for a few seconds on the outer vulva area because some women with very "raw" vaginas mention that burning inside.

The downside of trying several methods at once is that you're never quite sure what worked. So glad that SOMETHING worked for you, anyway!
