i do not wear thongs, no tight pants etc... i took a bath the other day and had no
bubble bath and starting putting all this crap in there to make bubbles, ,like
bath gel and other bath gel with lots of perfume in it... bad thing to do huh?

my gyno told me that to help with the itching and burning while waiting for the diflucan to work to stick a tampon in PLAIN yogurt and use it like when you have your period...the (?) acidolpholus (sp?) in the yogurt is supposed to fight with the yeast infection. i am allergic to monistat and over the counter meds so diflucan is the only way to go for me...i've had to take multiple doses too....girl sometimes it itched so bad i felt like sticking a damn scrubby brush up there just to make the itch go away good luck!!!

I've heard this also. I used to get them alot (and when I say ALOT, I mean like once a month), and then I got UTI and I finally found out the cause of BOTH my yeast infections and my UTI....I was wiping the wrong way....I was wiping back to front. This is SOOOOOO bad! If you are wiping this way instead of front to back, change right away. It will take some getting used to, but since I changed, I have not had an infection or a UTI since and it's been about 5 years now.

That would do it! You need to stop taking baths all together. ANY soap in bath while washing will come in contact with the "toot" and can cause it. If you are as sensitive as I am taking showers will make a world of difference. I don't even let my 9 year old take a bath that often. Once in a blue moon. We are SOOOO much alilke that I worry all the bubble bath and so on will cause her to get an infection.
Good luck.

I've heard of people using plain yogurt and garlic cloves... I've never had one myself so I don't know what works. You can find a lot of information on this site. I used to get UTI's ALL the time, and I read on that site to drink cranberry juice, or take cranberry pills. I haven't had one UTI since I started taking cranberry pills! So I trust their information.
