Yeast Infection Tip tried and true

My doctor recommended the freezing yogurt in a tampon applicator method for yeast infection. While that seems like the least messy way, I don't know about the rest of you but I have serious problems with the idea of putting something frozen inside of my vagina.

Seriously, that does not sound fun at all!

The easiest thing I've found (and I'm surprised my Doctor never mentioned this) is to go to the pharmacy or clinic or wherever and ask them for a plastic syringe that does not have a needle. They should just give you one free or if you have to buy it, it might be a couple $. They are the type of syringe that you would use to feed liquid food to a puppy or kitten that cannot eat on their own.

The one I have is 10 ml. All I do is stick the "syringe" into the yogurt with the plunger all the way down, then slowly pull the plunger back which brings the yogurt in. Then insert the syringe into the vagina as far as it'll got and push the plunger in.

That's it.

No freaking frozen ice cubes involved.
