A member asked:
Does sodium bicarb work for vaginal thrush?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It can: Yeast likes to grow in an acidic enviroment. Alternative therapies for yeast can be bathing or douching ( though douching can have a risk of washing infection internally) with a baking soda or sodium bicarbonate solution. I usually recommend one bath tube to a half cup of baking soda. Sitz baths or douch can be mixed with 1 tsp to 8-16 oz water. Check with dr before douching.
