dangerous to the body and are more bothersome than anything

problems like HIV or diabetes. Symptoms of a yeast infection
may include itching, soreness or pain in the area, burning,
thick discharge and odor. If you are experiencing your first
vaginal yeast infection, it can be hard to diagnosis and you

with antifungal cream, suppositories or tablets. There are many

follow through one day after the symptoms have cleared up. This
can be done by putting a tampon in yogurt and then inserting

then insert the tampon in to the vagina. Once it is inserted it
should provide some relief to you.

sticky to the touch but works magically. While sitting on the
toilet, pour a half a cup on the area and stay seated for 20
minutes. Once the area is soaked, take a bath in warm water and
only pat dry the vagina. Do this both in the morning and
night.
4. Vinegar. This is to be considered antibacterial and
antifungal. Pour 1 cup of vinegar into a warm bath. Rest in the
tub for 20 minutes and only pat dry the vagina. Any vinegar is
going to be alright to use on the body, but apple cider vinegar
is known to work best.

teaspoon of potassium sorbate to 1 cup of water. Dip a tampon

until the symptoms are gone.

yourself at home with over-the counter medicines just as long
as you are not pregnant. Sometimes if your symptoms are not too
severe, you can leave it untreated and both the symptoms and
the infection will clear up on its own.
