A member asked:
I have an iud and a pesky yeast infection. no doctor or monistat. can i use the "garlic clove" remedy with my iud?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No problem: The iud should not interfere with any yeast treatment - the iud is hidden in the uterus up above the vagina. There is no scientific evidence to show that garlic cures yeast. Some stores have tampons with gentian violet - which has been shown to kill yeast.
