Aunt Vadge: yeast infection won’t go away – what do I do?

Hey Aunt Vadge,

So I’ve had a yeast infection for roughly a month. I’ve gone to a doctor about it and she proscribed me some medicine and told me that I should put diaper rash cream down there.

It’s been about a week since I’ve seen her last, but it still burns some down there…

I’m not sure if this will help, but yes I have masturbated in the past, but I haven’t done it in quite some time…

I hope what I’ve said has been detailed enough. Thank you for reading this and hope you have a lovely day/night!

Yours sincerely,
Yeasty

Dear Yeasty,

You likely have a yeast bloom in your belly that is resulting in your yeasty vagina – it all works together, particularly with yeasts.

There are a few things you can do to relieve a yeast infection, primarily in your diet and some vaginal treatments to relieve the symptoms.

Read more about treating a yeast infection at home.

You can also find more about at-home yeast treatments on our yeast infection page.

Write anytime!

Love,
Aunt Vadge
