Question 1

could using coconut oil for an intimate lubricate cause a uti?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: Use a lubricant designed for that specific purpose, not something not intended to be used inside the vagina.

Question 2

i've got uti, yeast problems ..herbal or coconut oil..what should i go for?

Accepted Answer

Cranberry lactobacil: To try to treat these 'naturally' try a cranberry juice tablet and lots of water for the uti.  For the yeast, you should cut out sugar and carbohydrates because they end of in your vaginal secretions and the yeast grow more.  Some people have good results with lactobacillus.  Wearing cotton underwear is also a must for keeping away yeast infections.

Question 3

recurrent uti after sex every single time, never fails. ive taken dmannose, oregano oil, and i pee after sex, wipe front to back, shower before sex and yet it never fails that i get a uti a day or two after. it started back in october, pls help?

Accepted Answer

: Have UTIs have been clearly documented by proper professional evaluation, including positive tests for typical UTI bacteria (E. coli and others)? Sex definitely can trigger UTI, in which case easy prevention is a single dose of antibiotic immediately before or after sex; or 3 times a week, whichever is more frequent. Infectious diseases specialists are most knowledgeable in this area. Good luck.

Question 4

i have been taking oil of oregano/goldenseal/and garlic supplements to prevent uti's for their natural antibiotic prop. will any interfere with bcp's?

Accepted Answer

No known interaction: Shouldn't interfere with BCPs.  However, goldenseal should not be taken if pregnant.

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Explanation : Way! You taking too much vitamins. Fish oil contain vitamin D and no need  for separate vit D! Your medicine for UTI is antibiotics? If yes it possible temporary effects on your stool. Use probiotics please.

Question 6

i am using coconut oil on my eyebrows for moisturizing and regrowth. could this cause any eyecolor change?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely not : Only glaucoma drugs that are prostaglandin inhibitors can /do have side effect of lengthening eyelashes, and changing eye color darker when instilled into the eye as eyedrops used daily. However, they are not used for eyebrow regrowth. So eyebrows aren't affected whatsoever. Your eyebrows will grow back quickly by themselves, and organic, raw coconut oil is a great moisturizer. Apply lightly.

Question 7

there is a trend to use coconut oil for cooking and coconut milk for drinks. could these cause cloresterol problems?

Accepted Answer

Cholesterol : Yes, bad choleaterol comes from mainly polysayurated fats. Always bake instead of fry when possible. Nothing more important than healthy low fat diet and exercise to decrease cardiovascular risk.

Question 9

i got refined coconut oil onto my eyelids and eyelashes.may it cause any problems?

Accepted Answer

Rinse your eyelids: I would recommend that you clean your lids and lashes carefully.  This can be easily accomplished by diluting baby shampoo, 1 teaspoon shampoo to five teaspoons water.  Did a q tip in the diluted baby shampoo and gently scrub the lashes and external lid margin.  Then rinse with warm water or wipe away with a warm washcloth.  You will be just fine.

Question 10

is virgin coconut oil good for evening out skin tone caused ftom sun & sorting out blemishes ?

Accepted Answer

Will moisturize only: The gold standard for lightening dark marks is hydroquinone. You can purchase fading creams that contain 2-3% hydroquinone without a prescription (ambi, atra, porcelana, nadinola, to name a few). You should also be careful to protect your skin with sunscreen, as sun will make dark marks darker.  There are also stronger prescription fading creams and chemical peels, if you need them.
