Embarrasing question: Vaginal and rectal itching, esp. at night, not hemeroids,

[Guest guest]

TY

I am so sorry! Sounds very uncomfortable. I was having a somewhat

similar problem not long ago. I was getting frequent irritation and

itchy. I used a simple test I got at walmart to make sure it wasn't

reoccurring yeast infections. I figured out one problem: I was taking a

lot of bubble baths and some baths with epsiom salts for sore muscules,

I think this was causeing some of the irretation. You might re-evaluate

your detergents, soaps, ect.

I also switched to ONLY breathable cotton underwear. Also I stopped

using chemical laiden tampons and disposable pads. I almost always had

terrible irritation and itching during my period. I now use organic

cotton reusable/wasiable pads. I purchased mine from WAHM on

ebay...There are TONS of online stores and even info on sewing your own.

Also douching can be helpful but as we all know douching to frequently

is not healthy. I found a few recomended douches and vaginal pack in my

" Healthy Healing " book. I would be happy to share them with you if you

would like.

Also, I incorperate more yougurt and cultured foods like kefir to my

diet...that also made a BIG difference. I also try to drink cranberry

juice frequently. I have found it helps with yeast infectons and UTI's

which for me go hand-in-hand.

These are just some of the things that really helped me.

I suggest letting your midwife know about it. (Or your Holistic Health

Practioner or Doctor)

 

Hope this Helps!

I never tried this personally, but I was always advised to use plain yogurt

because the live cultures in it would help fight the infection. I hope this

helps.

Hi,

 

Yes it could be yeast infection (aka candida albicans). This means you have an

imbalance of the bacterial flora in your gut...

 

One way to learn what the balance of bacteria/yeast in your bowels is to have a

CDSA (Comprehensive Digestive Stool Analysis)

 

I believe these people can offer this to you in the US:

If you do have a candida infection you will want to fight it with a combination

of diet, herbal and probiotic measures.

Hope that helps,

Itching in the groin area, and in between toes is almost always a fungal (ie,

yeast) issue. The obvious answer is to take antifungals. Some suggestions are

topical iodine (5% or better), and the following tataken internally:

 

burdock root

black walnut hulls

oregano oil

wild cherry bark

pau d'arco

lemongrass

barberry

tumeric (contains curcumin)

 

The above antifungals are being used by my wife and myself with great success.

If you can take Lugol's 5% iodine internally at 2 drops a day for a month, and

have no itching, you will then be fungus-free. If you

start itching, stop taking the Lugol's immediately and take basil internally to

stop the itching. Return to taking the Lugol's when the itching subsides. Be

patient - this process takes months. My wife and I have been at it for about 6

months now, and we are about 90% fungus free at this point. I am 59 and my wife

is a young 55.

I have suffer from a chronic yeast infection for about 4 years! It comes and go

It is HELL and its VERY hard to cure in fact I don't think that their is a

cure!! But you can stop it from making your life Hell!! first your diet is the

main key!stay away from cheese,yeast,whole wheat,gluten,milk,fruits bread,you

need to follow the Candida diet google it!! you need to take LOTS of flora

Probiotic I Take about 200 billion a day! Tea tree is good! about 15 drops in a

douche two times a day and two droppers of black walnut alcohol free in a douche

two times a day do tea tree one day and black walnut the next day for about a

mouth and chill for a while and then do again! also you might want to detox your

body with a Candida cleansing I hope this helps!

MAKE SURE TO TAKE SOME PROBIOTICS, EVEN IF JUST ACIDOPHOLUS, WHILE YOU TRY ANY

MEDS FOR YEAST...VERY IMPORTANT TO PREVENT REOCCURANCE...GET QUALITY ONES FROM A

HEALTH FOOD STORE...GOOD LUCK, lORI

I have had this problem. Was told many things. In April I was finally diagnosed

with Ovarian Cancer. There is a blood test to look for the cancer that and a

pelvic is the only way to find it. My pap smears all came out normal, still do.

Mine is stage 4, go to the doctor. Now.

OMG I NEVER thought I'd be telling anyone this but I have the same problem and I

know your pain! I went on the Atkins diet, which is meat and veggies only, no

grains, and it stopped after a couple of days. Everytime I eat any grains it

happens again.

 

I found that using Carmex on the area stops the itching for a long while. I

don't remember why I first tried it, I must have been desperate but it works!
