a day before my yeast occured i had sexual intercourse with my boyfriend and we used alot of ky jelly…can ky cause a yeast infection and what are some home remedies
It was probably the ky jelly, it can destroy the good bacteria in the vagina the same way some douches do.
You need to restore the normal balance of healthy bacteria to kill the yeast.
The most popular and useful of the probiotics is Lactobacillus. Several forms of this “nice” bacterium can be used to treat yeast infections naturally.
If you want to use Lactobacilli to treat your yeast infection, you have the option of using it as an oral supplement or as a vaginal suppository. Acidophilus, a member of the Lactobacilli family, is the key ingredient that makes yogurt work! With this in mind, it makes sense to eat plenty of yogurt when battling a raging yeast infection.
If you need immediate relief, try using yogurt as a topical cream. Simply soak a tampon in unflavored yogurt that contains active cultures and insert it as usual. If you don’t wish to use a tampon, you can simply wipe the yogurt on with a finger.
Tea Tree Oil and Other Treatment Options
This oil is taken from the tea tree and has apparently helped with yeast infections. However, tea tree oil is too strong to use without first diluting it a good deal. There is some debate about the safety and value of tea tree oil when used in this fashion.
Garlic cloves are well-known warriors in the fight against yeast infections. They can even be used as suppositories, provided the cloves are first wrapped in something soft and porous before being inserted.
An old timer remedy is honey, just dab it on with your finger and can provide relief on contact.
Also apple cider vinger diluted with water can be applied to relieve itching and kill the yeast.
