@januaryjane I would have a yeast infection every month. Could not get rid of it…no matter what I did. I went to a naturopath who put me on Nystatin….to clean it out from the gut. I had been on many antibiotics which cause yeast. Also, I was told that the birth control pills I was on was causing the yeast. Cut the sugar out also. I purchased probiotics…the ones you put in the fridge…Megafood for women. I also started eating Organic Plain non fat yogurt…Yogurt is excellent in building back good bacteria taken away by antibiotics , birth control pills and other medications. I made sure that I did not sit in a wet bathing suit….i took it off right after getting out of the pool and showered with DOVE Sensitive Skin Soap -Dove Unscented. You never want to use any scented products on your body…they will just make the yeast grow. Try to not wear underwear. When I went to work…I wore long skirts…so, I didn’t have to wear underwear or stockings. It’s important that you air yourself out. Also, 2 Liters of Water a day. I did all this for a couple of months and I haven’t had a yeast infection in years. I love to swim and I am still mindful to not stay in any damp swimsuits or shorts. I still only use unscented Dove on my body. When I use the bathroom…I make sure I have a bottle to fill with water to pour over my vagina and make sure no stool has been there. A bidet would be wonderful. Also, don’t recontaminate yourself with your undergarments. Wash your 100% cotton underwear separately . Then, put it outside to dry in the sun. That is the only way the yeast will be removed from your underwear . The dryer will keep the yeast on , even after washing. Buy underwear that is loose…not tight. Just old fashioned 100% cotton underwear. If you don’t have a clothes line or a rack…discard the old underwear and buy new ones. Wash before use. The factories carry a lot of contamination. Please contact me if you have any questions. I know what a horror yeast can be! God bless xx
