Kate replied: "Wow, that does not sound like a very pleasant thing to be going through!
I have never had a combination of the three, but there was a period of 2-3 years where I was having constant yeast infections. No sooner would I get rid of one, then a few weeks later I would have another. The over-the-counter medicines weren't working at all, and even though the Diflucan worked, it didn't stop it from coming back a few weeks later. Regardless of the season it kept coming back in cycles, and I was extremely fed up.
Like you I had tried eating my weight in yogurt, made sure I didn't sit around in a wet bathing suit, dried off "down there" thoroughly after each shower, didn't use irritating soaps, etc. Those things did help with the severity of the infections, but did not stop them from happening.
Finally, since I was seeing my gynecologist anyway because I was going to start taking birth control pills, I asked her if she had any idea why I was having so many infections. She said that women who have really irregular periods (like I was having) often have problems with yeast infections, because the hormones disrupt their whole reproductive system and the pH of their vagina is wacky, making it a real breeding ground for persistent infections.
They did an ultrasound on my ovaries and uterus and discovered that I had a fist-sized ovarian cyst... a major cause of hormonal disruption! Once the cyst went away, so did my yeast infections, so for me at least I believe that was the reason.
If you don't think your hormones could be a potential cause (I was having a lot of abdominal pain, thought it was constipation... surprise, cyst!), take a look at your diet. Do you eat a lot of sugar? One of the things my general doctor suggested to me before I saw the gyno was to cut down on my refined carb and sugar intake, because too much sugar will mess with your body's pH and make you more susceptible to yeast infections. Also, if you use pads during your period, try using tampons because the pads create a moist environment, which will definitely help any potential violators grow and flourish.
Finally, make sure you are wearing 100% cotton panties. Polyester does NOT breathe, and will trap moisture close to the skin. Cotton breathes and keeps you dry. If you already wear 100% cotton, try changing them more often. I am not suggesting that you are nasty and don't change them enough... it's just that some people have very sensitive areas, and what is "enough" for everyone else might not be enough for you.
Anyway, I hope that helps, and good luck in the future!"
Kaley replied: "Wow..
I have never had a UTI, but I have had a yeast infection and BV together at the same time. It wasn't fun, and I thought I had a stubborn strain of a yeast infection. I was given a cream to insert into my vagina for the yeast infection and pills (I don't remember the name) for BV.
Have you tried the AZO brands? They are pills in with the vitamins or feminine products (depending on what store you go to). They are about 6 dollars, but they really help. I use the AZO Yeast and it prevents me from getting yeast infections (and I never eat yogurt!). Every time I even feel a little itch down there, I swallow one of the pills and it goes away!
I know they make AZO UTI too. I heard they work well at preventing and treating the symptoms (but it doesn't cure the UTI or yeast infection), but I've never had a UTI so I don't use them. Drinking cranberry juice or taking cranberry supplements can help prevents UTI's as well.
As for your BV, my doctor said I got it from wiping wrong. I know it's gross, but hey, I'm not the only one who does it. Make sure to wipe front to back (even though it's easier to wipe back to front). Your feces particles can get in your vagina and can cause BV. Seriously. It's gross, but thats the most common cause of it.
I hope I helped! Good luck and I really recommend the AZO products at preventing yeast infections and UTI's!"
Bolt replied: "I'll just add a couple of thoughts:
1 - have you been checked for diabetes? Frequent infections are a common symptom, and often they are difficult to treat while blood glucose remains high and uncontrolled. Don't assume that because you eat well, exercise, and are not overweight that you can not be diabetic - lots of people are surprised by a diabetes diagnosis that way :-)
2 - condom use, ingredients in some lubrications, and often the use of spermicide, can encourgae vaginal infections. You might want to stop the use of spermicides completely, change to a lubricant with different ingredients, and/or change the type of condom material being used. My wife's GYN had us change what we were using and it has worked out very well :-)"
getting rid of a stubborn yeast infection with garlic pills? i am scared to shove a whole clove of garlic up there so i bought some garlic pill capsules with a gelatin capsule and put in up there to melt inside of me. do you think this will work? and i do not want to hear any lectures........in the pasti used monistat, terazole, diflucan, gynazole, genitian violet, boric acid, vinegar douches & baths, tea tree oil suppositories, yogurt suppositories, probiotic pills, nystatin, lavander oil baths, baking soda baths, witch hazel compresses, hydrogen peroxide douches, eating goldenseal, grapefruit seed extract cranberries, .........nothing works anymore i am drug resistant. so i never tried the garlic idea before. think it is any good? remember that i only bought the pills because i am uneasy of shoveing a garlic clove up there!!! any ideas?
yes i went to the dr and it is for sure a y.i and none of the meds have helped
Ms. ? replied: "get monistat. safer!! iit also comes in a 3 step process"
clairitaringo replied: "Holy Crap! That sucks.
Are you sure it is a yeast infection?? Maybe nothing is working because it is something else. If it bacterial vaginosis, those things might just make it worse.
Maybe whatever is causing the infection hasn't been taken out of the equation. I always get yeast infections when I use durex condoms. I used to treat the yeast infection over and over until I realized what was causing it. I switched to trojan and the yeast infections are gone."
Conrad C replied: "Hello there mimi.
If you think you may have yeast infection, I can tell you there are some very effective natural cures that can stop your pain.
You can cure yeast infection naturally, 100% guaranteed
You can do it with ZERO risk
It can be done in a short time.
Still, along with the natural treatment, please try to :
Keep the genital area clean and dry.
Avoid harsh soaps (including bubble bath).
Wear loose cotton (rather than nylon) underwear that doesn't hold moisture.
Take antibiotics only when prescribed by your doctor, and never take them for longer than your doctor tells you to.
If you are diabetic, try to control your blood sugar levels.
These would prevent from yeast infection to happen.
But for now you may try the 100% treatment I found in the below source and tried it myself... it worked ..."

allie_gator_opps replied: "I'd be more weary of the capsules. gelatin capsules would make it worse I think. Cause gelatin is a form of sugar.
Remember the garlic clove can't get lost in your vagina. and You don't stick it very far up. Just and inch or 2 up.
You could tie a string to the clove before you put it in."
doubleocinco replied: "i know i didn't know whether i could put a whole garlic up there either. i never did it. if the garlic is pure in the capsule form then go ahead try it. you could ingest the pill too but might not have the same effect. i tried all the over the counter drugs and the prescription pills and after the 3rd round it stopped working for me. so i switched to herbal remedies and they work great for me! i take all those herbs you said and it has worked for me. the tea tree oil being the best. i also used colloidal silver and since i have taken that i have not gotten one"

been to the dr it is a def y.i and none of the meds help
im not a diabetic or HIV positive and i have been to 10 different obgyns and a herbalist. i think this just may be how i must live my life
jandy replied: "Garlic won't work, but a gyn exam and culture will help identify cause, could be bacterial vaginosis, or some other STD and you are suffering needlessly with the incorrect medication. All of the above are non therapeutic doses and ineffective, nystatin is oral use, diflucan may not have been taken long enough and is for candida, which, again, you may not have, Candida is itchy, has a cottage cheesy texture and is very uncomfortable. I would think garlic may aggravate or irritate the delicate vaginal mucosa. Please see a doc or go to planned parenthood for an exam if you can't afford a doctor/medcare/health insurance. Feel better. You tried everything, I wouldn't have the patience."
Kristen B replied: "I'm assuming you have already been to the doctor, because it may not be a yeast infection. Also, you need to go to the dr because having constant infections is usually related to another illness. Are you diabetic? Especially if all those things you have tried don't work. If those didn't work, the garlic probably won't either. This is not normal."
namairb2 replied: "Have you ever been tested for MRSA? This would be a reason why nothing is helping you. If you've been diagnosed with THIS this time then your positive that this is only a yeast infection. If not then this might be something mimicking one too. This is why even though you think you know what you have, it might be something else. Medicine is a very tricking thing. No one is right 100% of the time. This is also why doctor's specialize. Since the drugs you list can work then are you sure you finished every course every time. If you didn't this is what causes a tolerance to any one drug. The cures can work repetitively, but that is if you finish every insertion. MRSA is another thing that will keep a cure at bay. Please get tested for MRSA after you get a clear diagnosis for the probable yeast infection. I'm also sure that if you've had one before, that you know what it feels like, but it might be in combination with another infection. I really would not try the garlic insertion. I wouldn't be comfortable with it either."

Garlic was stuck in vagina for three days? eek.? I had a yeast infection and the Diflucan I got from my gyno didn't seem to work. I think I'm resistant to the medications. So I tried to the home remedy of inserting garlic and it really did help. Problem is, the string that was attached to the garlic broke off when I tried to remove it and I couldn't get it out with my finger. Finally it has come out after three days. Could I be at risk for some sort of bacterial infection now?
I can say what i want to replied: "look at it on the bright side at least vampires won't go messing around down there."
WISHiHadFriends**Haha** replied: "Yucky! Garlic in your area?
but if you want my opinion, I'd go to a doctor.
or the your gyno just to make sure everythings okay.
If you can't afford it, wait a few days for unusual symptoms."
tally replied: "Lmao
I would rather have a yeast infection than a vjj that smelled of rotting garlic
lmao hahahahahaha"
Ellen replied: "Edward Cullen will never hit that"
Vöt Änårж replied: "LOL @ the first answer.
Depends on whether or not the garlic was rotten when it came out. if it could still be eaten (had one not known where it had been), then you're probably safe."
Kenyatta replied: "Definitely LOL at the first answer!!! OMG please tell me this is a joke because I don't wanna even think if how that tooty was smelling! LMAO oh WOW!!"
