QUESTION:
Is there a better treatment or cure for Yeast Infection?
I've been taking medications that my doctor recommended me to try and it only worked for a while. Any suggestions to better medications or homemade medicine?-
ANSWER:
Try drinking kefir, it's been used for hundreds of years and the probiotics in it really keep the yeast infections in check for women. I really enjoy Lifeway Kefir because it's very tasty (You can get plain, strawberry, or other flavor) and it has 10 live cultures.
http://www.lifeway.net/You can check what local stores carry it. I drink kefir very often (people do in Russia) and I never had a yeast infection in my life.

ANSWER:
Well,it's not only a yeast infection that makes our vagina's smell/stink.There are different types of vaginal infections that will cause this 'smell'.You really have to go to your GYN for a pap-smear,then your GYN will be able to figure out exactly what type of vaginal infection you have.And treat it accordingly.NEVER apply lotion on your vaginal area..Never do this!! That will only make matters much worse,possibly ever cause a yeast infection on top of what you already seem to have.So,just don't do that,ok? No powders,creams/lotions nothing UNTIL you see your GYN.You can however go to your local pharmacy and purchase some over the counter vaginal cream,this will only relieve any itching you might have.But nothing will take away the odor,except a prescription medication from your doctor.You could also go to your primary doctor for a pap smear,either way this infection can NOT be treated over the counter.How do you know you don't have a yeast infection? Just wondering how you know this.Just go see your doctor/GYN,ok? Good luck to you.

ANSWER:
vaginal itch is a symptom of a yeast problem, but you usually also have a white cheesy looking discharge with it, and the itch is very intense. What you could have is bacterial vaginitis,in which case you need to see a doctor for treatment. Also, seeing doctor would be the best way to get all your questions answered, they are used to answering such questions from young girls. So tell your mom, what is going on, as ask her to take you to the doctor.
