Yoghurty success

Well I thought I would share about a minor breakthrough I have been experiencing.

A couple of weeks ago, just before my period, I was in full-on red, burny, convinced it was thrush pain. As usual diflucan helped for a couple of days then wore off. At my wit's end I decided to try the thing of putting live, natural yoghurt on your bits, not thinking for one second it would do anything & just anticipating further pain.

It was actually soothing, so I left it on overnight & by the morning felt LOADS better. I did the same again the next night and felt better again. Since then my period has come & gone and my day to day pain is at zero 99% of the time. I am amazed. It still hurts if I touch it but that is a massive step up from before, I have had some level of burning pain most days for as long as I care to remember so this is a revelation. I am just enjoying being able to focus 100% on things other than my vag. I keep mentally checking throughout the day...how is my vulva feeling? It's not feeling like anything!!

I don't know how long this will last but I'm grateful it's happened. I was not convinced about topical application of yoghurt as there doesn't seem to be any evidence to support it, but it has definitely been of use in my case.

thank u for sharing - glad to hear it helped, i am definitely going to give it a try..atleast its cheaper than a prescription of any sort ha! x

Glad you found some help from this, I tried it in the early days but got no relief from it but each to their own.

I also use yogurt when I am raw/itchy/inflamed. It is so soothing and cool. Glad it's working for you too. Both yogurt and coconut oil have helped me a lot.

Thanks for your replies, glad it helps some of us but sorry it doesn’t help all
Can’t believe that after all the £££s I’ve spent on lotions & potions I get the best relief from a 50p tub of yoghurt!! Unfortunately I’ve gone bad again now but gonna try the yoghurt trick again.

Although there’s not much research on this, I found the following study of 129 pregnant ladies with thrush who used bee honey & yoghurt applied topically. They had a high clinical cure rate (87.8%) and mycological cure rate (76.9%) (don’t know what the difference is between these!) – so that’s quite interesting!
