Is yogurt as good as medicine to treat yeast infection?
I have had a yeast infection before and always used the medicine to treat it. I have heard that plain sugar free yogurt can also treat it… but will it do just as good of a job? will it take longer? is it better in the long run? Please provide instructions on how to treat with plain yogurt or if the medicine is better just give your opinion. I appreciate your answers.

yes! of course it is !!!
and if you have yeast infection then you must get rid of it as soon as it is possible!!!
if you really want to get rid of yeast infection then you must follow these tips:
1) Eat yogurt!!!! It contains helpful bacteria (live cultures, including acidophilus and bifidus) that destroy yeast. Use only plain yogurt with active cultures.
2) Douche with a solution of 1 to 3 tbsp. vinegar in a quart of water. Repeat once a day while having symptoms, but no longer than a week.
3) Decrease or eliminate sugar and sugary foods. Sugar promotes yeast growth.
4) Use a garlic clove as a suppository. Garlic contains a natural anti-fungal agent.
5) Try gentian violet. It’s a traditional remedy for yeast and other infections, and can be found in pharmacies. Swab the area with it once or twice a day. Make sure to use a thick pad – it stains everything.
6) Use an herbal douche. Combine equal amounts of sage, raspberry and comfrey with 1/4 part goldenseal. This can be combined with cider vinegar.
7) You must use herbal treatment. In that case Yeastrol is really good (probably the best) product that gets rid of yeast infection comparatively fast and makes you feel more confident knowing that it wont reappear again!
And of course it is better if you use full course (5 months – if I remember correctly). For me it worked very fast + I dont get yeast infections anymore…
Yogurt that contains live probiotics is effective in treating yeast infections because it balances out the normal flora in the vagina. When you take antibiotics for a bacterial infection (among other causes) it disrupts the normal flora all through the body.
To treat with yogurt, all you do is just apply a small amount inside the vagina with an applicator or your hands. I would recommend doing this at night before bed as it could get a little messy.
Hey I understand what you mean.
Monistat didn’t work for me.. my doctor prescribed me meds and it made even worst!
Despite when it manage to heal, the yeast infection will come back again (means it’s not fully cured).
I realized the only real cure for Yeast infection is doing the natural way so it won’t come back again!
