Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I'm a virgin. I had my first yeast infections a couple months ago. The yeast infection returned. I done research it told me if i had reaccuring yeast infections within a year i could have some harmful viruses. Since i can't have an STD it could link to diabetes right? Plus how do i get rid of this yeast infections with home remedies?
Thank you for the query. I would like to enquire about your age. Vaginal candidiasis (yeast) is a common fungal infection in female subjects. Since you are having recurrent yeast infection, a blood sugar screening is advisable (Fasting and post prandial blood sugar). A routine urine examination may also be done. There is no home remedy for candidiasis as such. You must try to maintain hygiene and keep you private parts clean and dry. Local preparations like vaginal creams and ointments are available (Clotrimazole cream) which may be applied locally twice or thrice a day, with good results. If symptoms worsen or urinary tract symptoms like burning during urination develop, you must consult your physician for a thorough physical examination. Hope that helps you.
