Yogurt Does The Job For Yeast Infection

by Myra

I'm a yeast infection sufferer, have been for a few years since I had my first child.

Well what I always find useful is putting my tampon in a yogurt pot and let it expand to a point where it can expand no more lol.Then I get my husband to slowly insert it in while I lie down on my bed and open up my vagina with my fingers.

Sometimes the vagina can be really dry due to the infection so I always use Canesten HC cream around the vulva and massage it in so it slightly makes it moist and lubricated.

Then my sweet husband, bless him, gently inserts it in. You have to learn to relax your body because if you don't then no way can you get it up there lol.

The Canesten HC cream that Myra mentions contains the antifungal clotrimazole and a mild steroid, hydrocortisone, that helps to relieve inflammation.

It's good when you need rapid relief from itching.
