Do you worry about getting yeast infections?? And if you are someone that gets them, how often do you get them? How do you treat it?
Do you Worry About Yeast Infections?

I rarely get them. If I do it sometimes correlates with how much sugar and bread products I've been consuming. I'll do a apple cider vinegar douche and eat lots pro-biotic rich yogurts, usually takes care of it in a few days. About 5 years ago I got a bad one and I put plain greek yogurt inside and out and it got things back to normal.

I have never had one...knock on wood!

Never had one hope to never get one.

Only had one once - it was during a summer when we didn't have A/C (in Florida), so it was quite obvious how it happened. Ick.

I get them sometimes, particularly when I'm pregnant. I use monistat, either 3 or 7. I hate monistat 1 - too strong. I usually get 2-4 during a pregnancy, maybe one a year otherwise. I suspect my typical American diet contributes. I don't worry about it, really. Just one of those things. Better than UTIs, which my sister gets reguarly.

Gah. I'm crazy prone to them. But only within the last 3 years (since I've become sexually active). Now I get them to the point where my gyno gave me pretty much unlimited access to fluconazole. I know all the hints- like eating yogurt, wearing cotton panties, probiotics... but nothing works for fluconazole, which I take too much of. I haven't had one in months, though *knocks on wood*

I generally avoid sugar for that reason. And of course hygiene and wearing only panties with a cotton liner.

I used to get them a lot when I was a kid, but for much of my teen and adult life I've avoided them. I had a few several months ago, the cause of which I wasn't able to discern, but overall it seems I'm not really prone to them. When I do get an infection, I use those one-and-done treatments (either monistat or a generic brand) to get rid of it. Seems to work just fine.

I get a few every year. It sucks. Eating yogurt helps prevent it. I have prescription medicine for when i get it

I only had a yeast infection once in my life and it was pure torture. So now I try my best to avoid things that might cause it to come back.
