Itching "Down there"???? (women only, please)?

Filed under Infection Male Yeast
Okay this is really embarassing but for about 3 weeks now I’ve had a lot more vaginal itching than normal and it’s a little red. I’ve told my mom about it and I’ve done a yeast infection treatment with no success. The itching is more on the outside so that’s why I don’t think it’s a yeast infection. The itching isn’t ALL the time but it’s enough to get annoying. I’m not sexually active so I’m not sure what brought this on. Ive never been to the gynecologist before and I don’t really want to go to the pediatrician. My moms gyno is a male and I don’t feel comfortable with that. Help???
Just go and see your GP. They see problems like yours everyday and they’ll give you information you can trust. It’s not easy to diagnose someone on the internet.
you might have a yeast infection…they sell gel and stuff at drug stores. so you dont have to go to the gyno unless you really want to.
go to the gynecologist. who cares if it’s a guy, it’s his job so there’s nothing to be embarrassed about.
Has your mum recently changed her washing powder or have you changed your shower gel. Any slight change can sometimes upset your bodies natural balance down there. Try wiping with baby wipes instead of tissue for a few days x
Go to female gyno without hesitation and get a check up done.don’t delay and don’t ignore your sexual and reproductive health..Take a round of places in your city where most doctors sit and watch out for female gyno.or talk to your friends to find out. you can also search net for city directory.
itching and red ness may cause by synthetic little moist panties or discharge..don’t feel ashamed about all this.
I am a boy but really like to help women in need on net and personally on the basis of my knowledge about these issues.
Basically the reason you have a yeast infection is because there’s an imbalance in your body. A healthy person has a balance between the yeast in their body and the good bacteria in their body.
Too much yeast, you have a yeast infection. Too much bacteria, you have a bacterial infection.
So, when you have a yeast infection you essentially have too much yeast in your body relative to the good bacteria. The natural way to treat it and bring back that balance is to starve the yeast and introduce more good bacteria into your body.
Oh and BTW – That’s why you often get relief from using the over the counter meds temporarily, and then the yeast infection comes back. The creams aren’t changing the source of the problem. They are just killing the yeast they come in contact with, and not balancing the yeast/bacteria in your body and actually sometimes end up making things a lot worse.
Oh BTW2 – That’s also why many times you’ll get a yeast infection after using antibiotics. Antibiotics kill all the bacteria in your body, the good and the bad. When that happens the balance between the yeast and good bacteria is off, and once again and you get a yeast infection.
Things you can add to your diet (to help promote good bacteria) are live yogurt cultures (or take Acidophilus), plenty of water, fresh vegetables, lots of protein rich foods, whey protein, raw garlic, nuts, seeds, oils, millet, rice and oat brans
Things you should remove from your diet (to starve the yeast) are all sodas, sugars, fruit, fermented foods, foods containing white flour, alcohol (especially beer), antacids and any product that has yeast or mold
Changing your diet will definitely get you on the road to balancing the yeast and good bacteria, but what I would also recommend is to use a homeopathic solution to help naturally speed up the process.
I always feel if there’s a natural way to do something, then it’s best to avoid the chemicals. I would look for an natural product, that can be taken orally to promote re-growth of the good bacteria in your body.
There are a few out there, I think they are probably all pretty good. One that I have used and was very effective for me was is yeastrol.
Best of Luck!
Hope this helps and best of luck!
