I did some things a few months ago that helped me lose my title as the Queen of Yeast. I thought I would share, hoping it might help someone.

1. I only use my bath towel once, then it goes in the laundry.
2. I bought toilet paper that has no inks or dyes in it. (Its called Aloft)
3. I only wear cotton underwear and pants. 100% cotton
4. I take Azo Yeast. One pill twice per day. Two pills twice per day when I feel an infection coming on.
5. I no longer use tampons unless Im at the lake (like twice a year)

I hope that what I have done helps someone else. I used to have frequent yeast infections. :cussing: I once had one so bad that I scratched myself while sleeping and woke up bleeding from the scratching! :tsk: I knew then it was time for drastic changes. Making these changes has made it so that I have less frequent infections. It has also made it so that I went from a 10 treatment to a 3 day treatment when I do have one. :bow:

Yall have a great day!:hi:

I'd like to add some things to your list: Stay out of the bath tub and only take showers. Double rinse underpants (detergent/soap irritation can also cause itching). Wear either skirts or loose-fitting pants. I do make sure our toilet tissue is plain white, unscented.

And if yeast persists, it may be necessary to substantially decrease sugar intake.
