Question 1

does probotic acidophlius get rid of yeast infections? if so how long does it take ?

Accepted Answer

No: But once the problem is corrected, like post antibiotic or diabetes, this could come after appropriate treatment.

Question 2

what are some probiotics yogurt that helps get rid of yeast infection?

Accepted Answer

Plain/acidophilus: You need a non-sweetened yogurt that contains active acidophilus, the friendly bacteria that helps keep yeast in check.  Many commercial brands do not have it, so be sure to read the label.  And if it doesn't work, see your doctor, because something else may be going on.

Question 3

will putting fruit in non sweetened yogurt with acidophilus feed the yeast i my body?! or does it matter. trying to get rid of yeast infection.

Accepted Answer

No: In a healthy person who does not have a medical problem such as diabetes, eating yogurt with fruit should not affect the ability of the yogurt to help with a yeast infection. However, eating yogurt with live cultures only does not always treat a yeast infection. Often topical or oral medications are needed to clear a yeast infection. See your physician to treat this if it is not improving.

Question 4

can probiotics help get rid of a yeast infection?

Accepted Answer

No.: No. Candidiasis requires treatment with antimycotics (antifungal drugs). I am not aware of any evidence that any so-called "probiotic" can prevent or cure fungal infections.

Question 5

what can i do about a vaginal yeast infection that wont go away ? and can probiotics pills get rid of vaginal yeast infection ?

Accepted Answer

Obgyn treatment: The first step is to confirm that it is a yeast infection. Often other infections are misdiagnosed. Then your doctor can determine which anti fungal treatment is appropriate. Then they can test to make sure that it is working and if not change the treatment plan

Question 6

how much probiotic acidophilus should i take for yeast infection?

Accepted Answer

None: First confirm it is a yeast infection (most vaginal discharges are not yeast).  If so, an anti-fungal agent like Monistat or Diflucan (fluconazole) is appropriate.  Probiotics are very good for many other things, but not for yeast infections.

Question 7

can i take a probiotic to stop a yeast infection? if not, what's the best otc treatment? been on antibiotics for 2 weeks & i think that caused it.

Accepted Answer

Probiotic won't work: If you have had vaginal yeast and have the same symptoms now, you probably can safely treat yourself. A probiotic probably won't work; you need an anti-yeast drug. Look for a product whose active ingredient ends in "azole" (Monistat®, Terazol®, Gyne-Lotrimin® and others). But if in doubt, get advice from the doc that prescribed the antibiotic. If you self treat, call doc if no better in 2-3 days.

Question 8

i have recurring yeast infection albeit antibiotic treatment and probiotics. my partner now has a rash on his genitals can anyone advise what alternative treatment i can take to resolve this? and is his rash a result of my ph imbalance? thank you!

Accepted Answer

Probably yeast: This is probably yeast, not pH imbalance. Even though your problem is persistent and perhaps not responding to the usual treatments, his probably will respond well to a standard anti-yeast cream or ointment. Any product with active ingredient ending in "azole" (miconazole, clotrimazole, and many more) probably will work. He can ask a pharmacist for advice. If it doesn't work, he should see doctor.

Question 9

how long does it take to get rid of a yeast infection in your armpits?

Accepted Answer

1-2 weeks: Typical treatment with a topical or oral antifungal can treat this infection in 1-2 weeks.

Question 10

how long does it take apple cider vinegar to get rid of my yeast infection after soaking a tampon in it and inserting twice a day?

Accepted Answer

No effect!: Apple cider vinegar WILL NOT affect your yeast and may even be harmful for your vagina. DO NOT continue this practice as your vaginal pH should not be more acidic than it is naturally and the vinegar may cause more harm than good. Please see a doctor and get real medication.
