    you might have like a PH imbalance if it smells bad, and with the yeast infection just ask the doctor for a prescription to get rid of it or prevent it from coming back, most doctors assume that if they treat it normally then it will stay gone but they don't give prevention meds so just ask

    I forgot to add Azo makes great yeast pills that will keep you balanced out and works wonders.

    Also, try some apple cider vinegar in a glass of water, about two tablespoons to a regular sized glass. You can do it stronger, or weaker if you like. Drink at least three glasses a day. I always get yeast infection after having a baby, and that clears it up every time.

    my sister drinks cranberry juice to help stop her yeast infections. she gets them for no reason. she is very clean, with the same guy for nearly 5 years etc. some people are just more susceptible to these things. try having a glass of cranberry juice a day and see if that helps.

    Agree with above poster. And if this is your third time having a yeast infection within 6 months it's imperative you go see a doctor.

    You should go back to the doc and discuss this problem. A few things you can do is make sure you are wearing cotton panties, shower instead of bathing, do NOT douche, don't use any powders or feminine products, make sure you are practicing proper hygiene, and don't use scented tampons or pads. If you are sexually active it can be from condoms, lube, spermicide or you may have given your boyfriend your yeast infection and are passing it back and forth. Just see your doc and he/she will help you out.
