There is never a good reason for a pregnant women to have to take medication when natural treatments are available.
Here’s what I suggest, all of which have been shown as effective natural yeast infection treatments.
There are many things you need to start doing and addressing if you are suffering from a yeast infection. To start, do the following:
1. Wear loose clothing and undergarments, oxygen kills yeast, going commando and wearing nothing down there if possible is even better.
2. Get some unsweetened yogurt and rub it onto a tampon, insert the tampon and do this continually until the yeast infection is gone.
3. Cut out any and all sugar, alcohol and yeast from your diet. All three will promote the infection further.
4. Start drinking cranberry juice, pure not from concentrate with no added sugar, I know this goes against the no sugar thing but the acid content in the cranberries will alter the PH balance of your vagina and cause the yeast to die off.
5. This is the only iffy one – If you can tolerate it, use a raw garlic clove and apply it to the infection, this may burn so dilute it with some olive or coconut oil, both of which can also help eliminate the yeast, especially the coconut.
6. Lastly if all else fails, begin adding 2 cups of apple cider vinegar to a bath. Only fill the tub up high enough to submerge your genital area. Stay in the tub for 20-30 minutes at a time.
Hope this helps, the yogurt is the key really, by putting good bacteria directly on the area you will eliminate it quickly. Make sure it is unsweetened and ideally keep an eye out for a variation called Kefir which has even more beneficial bacteria in it to snuff out the infection.
Definetely begin applying that yogurt, it’s highly beneficial for the baby to be exposed to it as well when you give birth, so start early and get as much in there now as possible. I can only imagine that giving birth while suffering from a yeast infection is NOT a good thing, so please consider if anything using the yogurt.
I had this problem 2 weeks ago. SUCKS! My doc told me I could use any of the Monistat products. I got the three day one. Everything is better now.
Congrats and Good Luck!
Live yogurt. Safe and what’s more highly nutritious!
I swear, if I read ONE MORE question from a pregnant woman that displays the apparent stupidity of OB’s I may puke! What the hell does he mean he can’t tell you what to us?! Holy crap I would totally get a new doctor… anyways, that sort of thing seems so common now and I’m just amazed is all…
Basically any of the over the counter ones are fine. Vagisil and Monistat are the most common/popular brands and those would be fine while prego. I used it during our first and yes, it was a little unnerving, but all was fine.
Call your doctor and tell him to recommend something. The store brands have different potencies how are you supposed to know what is safe. This is the reason doctors are getting on my nerves!
I havent had one yet thank god, but I did ask my doctor if I was to get a yeast infection do I need to come in to the office to make sure thats what it was she told me that if I have had one before I know what it is, and just to go get some monstat (the insert kind) she said it was safe to use the 1, 3 or 7 day treatment. I think its very odd that your doctor wouldnt give you anything and didnt even tell you what to get, I think your doctor sucks!!!!
I had this problem a month ago and my doc told me to take Monistat. It works real quick.
good luck
Eat yogurt and get a new doctor
