Applying natural yogurt (with no fruit bits!) to your vagina will help with yeast infections.  It helps restore the natural  balance of things.  We tend to wash ourselves a lot more when working than we normally would.  I have stopped using perfumed washes for my intimate area, I now use a special wash, either Vagisil or the Femfresh one.  Thats worked well.  I also tend not to wear undies if Im at home on my own, or between appointments if im working.

Im sure other girls will give you some advice too.

Hmm, my GP told me off for douching daily, but I do it, especially in the Summer.

I use natural yoghurt, if you apply some to the top of a tampon before insertion and
leave it in overnight, it treats the infection and soothes the itch too.

If it's really bad tho, or recurring, you're probably better to get the Canesten duo kit
from the chemist, it's an oral capsule and cream too, and gets rid of everything very
quickly.

Hi All
Yes its a minus point of sex work - getting thrush and / or cystitus . A good remedey for water infections is Waterfall d mannose

"Waterfall D-Mannose is a pure natural glyconutrient extract of Sweet European Forest Timbers, used to 'support a healthy bladder'. Word of the product has spread from person to person, and from therapist to therapist, worldwide. The product can now be obtained from a number of independent health food shops, and alternative health clinics, both in the UK and abroad"
Cranberry won't help stop cystitis in most cases. Fortunately, there is a substance that uropathogens can't become immune to, because it doesn't kill the weaker bacteria and leave the tough ones alive. It doesn't kill any of the bacteria - it just stops them from attaching, so that when you urinate, you flush away the bacteria too. It's a completely natural substance called d-mannose, and it works in a totally different way to antibiotics.

The other way, and by far the easiest way to deal with E.coli infections, is to provide a richer supply of mannose into the urine than the E.coli can find in tissue cells. You can do that simply by taking a level teaspoonful of sweet tasting Waterfall D-Mannose in a glass of water, or a cup of tea..

For most people, the Waterfall D-Mannose is in the urine within about an hour, and many users say they feel it beginning to work within that first hour, and that within the first 12 hours or so of beginning to use Waterfall D-Mannose, they are able to resume normal life.

It's simple, foolproof, and apparently works better than any antibiotic for E.coli, and doesn't have nasty side effects. You just get rid of the bacteria, now unable to stick to the bladder and urinary tract lining, when you urinate normally."

the above i copy n pasted from elsewhere - it was meant as advice to be passed on !! Get it in health food shops , ive been taking it and it is very good !!

I had one since I started this like of work in January.  I now use Femfresh on my bits my local poundland had lots of it so i stocked up! Also once a week i have a  bath with a bit antiseptic disinfectant liquid (they will say if you can use it in the bath on the back of the packet) dont know if that helps prevent anything but since ive used femfresh and dettol i havnt had any infections

It was recommended to me to use Femfresh and stop using highly scented soaps or body washes.  Wearing thongs and g strings can aggravate a yeast infection so it's best to wear cotton panties that let your 'intimate' area breath and not wear tight fitting jeans.

With UTI's drink loads and loads of water to help flush your kidneys out.      I was told by my Doctor that drinking Robinson's Peach Barley Water was just as good as drinking cranberry juice and so always have a bottle in the cupboard (just in case).    

Hope this helps.
