If you decide to consult a physician about your yeast infection, there are two tests he or she can do on you. One involves looking at some of your cells under a microscope. If the doctor sees an unusually large number of yeast cells, you probably have a yeast infection. The other test uses a culture, which takes several days to mature. But most women don't want to wait that long for the diagnosis to their itchy problem!
Remember, using antibiotics can be one of the reasons women get yeast infections in the first place: the medicine wipes out the good bacteria that normally keep Candida under control.
If you get yeast infections often, visiting the doctor and buying over-the-counter medicines can get expensive very quickly. Fortunately, there are several proven natural remedies that can hopefully provide the cure to yeast infections once and for all. Or, at the very least, they should clear your symptoms up within a day.
Some suggestions you might want to try:
- Insert unpasteurized yogurt inside your vagina. Eating yogurt helps, too.
- Drink unsweetened cranberry juice.
- Leave a gauze-bound garlic clove inside your vagina for 12 hours.
- Douche with vinegar and water, or yogurt and water.
- Insert a tampon dipped in Potassium Sorbate and leave in overnight.
