A member asked:

Is yogurt the best cure for a vagina yeast infection?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Doubtful: There are topical antifungals available both as vaginal suppositories and creams and ointments. Yogurt is not likely to address this problem effectively, but it does not hurt to try it.
