i really don't think using yogurt would be benificial - i think she has irritated skin - not an infection!!!! really, i know that eating yogurt when your bacteria in your stomach is off - but when ever have they suggested to 'spread yogurt on parts of body to replenish bacteria'?

anyone with medical experience - ie. nurses who see everything, or doctors - can anyone give some input?

because while i feel very sorry for Riot girl - and i know she is in some major discomfort - i do not think that this is a hugely serious issue... i have talked to her face to face about this - and i know that she mentioned that using the diaper rash cream helped... and i really feel that using that - along with lots of cold/cool compress type things will work...

I was not recommending she use yogurt. I was telling her another way that yogurt can be "applied". People seemed to be surprised by the idea.

Anything cold and soothing seems like a good idea to me.

Who are "they"?

Inserting yogurt directly into the vagina is a very old and effective naturopathic remedy for yeast infections.

Since you asked about medical opinions, Im an RN.

wet some washclothes and put them in the fridge, than have the little one go fetch them and switch them out for you when they are no longer 'cold' - keep her busy!!!! hahahah!!!!!! just a thought!!!

Ewwwwww.......I don't think it's a good idea to be having anyone handling washcloths that have been applied to your undiagnosed and swollen crotch. Especially not a little one.

innnnnnteresting. First.

LAM whats up with elephants?

Um.. and today, guess what the swelling is down! Woot Woot. Its still slightly out of shape, but i can sit comfortably and walk comfortably.. and my pants can stick to my crotch comfortably.

i used the destin (and the benadryl before bed) pretty much. Just covered that big thing sticking out between my legs with a glop of destin!

i'll remember the yogurt remedy, but honestly i'm a more then a tad bit nervous to be stickin yogurt in my punani. Just for future reference.. what kind of yogurt? Cos i've some strawberry downstairs...

and i'll taste like strawberries for ever more......

oh and yer not supposed to douche! As i was told by a nurse.. it just shoves whatever's wrong down below up in yer uterus, or whatever. Something like that.. it shoves the mess up higher.

Well, i dunno if its a yeast infection and i DID treat it like one... at first.. and then my punani swelled up. Took the one day begone medicine at cvs.

Im pretty sure just plain old yogurt. I guess if you want to be a purist, you can buy the organic kind. Unless, of course, you want it to smell like strawberries "down there".

I agree on the douching being a no no.

Im glad to hear you are all better now.

LOL - i think she was just trying to help out.. as i've one of those "high energy" little ones. Nothing out lasts the energizer bunny.. except my munchkin.

Riotgirl,

I'm not a gynecologist but I have a decent medical background. I don't have a punani myself but I do play with them as the opportunity presents itself, it is kind of a hobby of mine. You are certainly swollen pretty badly there.

MistressTexas is correct about increasing water consumption. Generally, a good two to three liters a day if you are not very active is a good start under average circumstances, drinking double (4-6 liters, or 1 to 1.5 gallons) what you should need until the swelling leaves will help to flush out the area and the typical American diet is so high in salt that cutting out all added salt won't harm you at all. Don't worry about peeing more, that won't have any significant effect on the swelling and it will help keep your urethra flushed out too, reducing the likelihood of also getting a UTI depending on what is happening there.

Benadryl (Diphenhydramine) can help if it is an allergic reaction and it also tends to make people drowsy, which can make you more comfortable. Tylenol is a good choice and some people have a better result with Ibuprofen, you can take up to 800 mg three times a day with meals as long as you don't have a stomach condition like an ulcer or are on another medication that interacts with it.

Letting the air get to it is good and cold may help, but you don't want to get it too cold at this point. Keep a layer of cloth between whatever source of cold you are using and your skin. If you develop an infection, stop using any cold and go see your gynecologist. Keeping it clean and dry with minimum irritation is best and if you do use any soap at all on it, make sure it is very mild. If you don't have any really mild soap, some diluted baby shampoo would probably do the trick.

If it doesn't respond to home treatment, gets worse or starts a discharge, go see your gynecologist. It is nothing to be embarrassed about, they see this sort of thing more often than one would think. The gyno can take into account what you are sensitive to and will probably prescribe an anti-inflammatory cream.

Using yogurt as a punani garnish can be soothing and as long as it is plain, had active cultures in it and doesn't have significant sugar, that may be a good move. I don't specifically recall a doc confirming that yogurt works well as a home treatment around me but I found some info pointing that way on the internet.

The next time, tell the doc if you've already got them there. Any doctor should handle your concerns in a professional manner and if they don't, switch doctors. They have seen worse and it is better to nip swelling in the bud if possible.

If you marinate your punani again, don't use soap. Try a good wine instead.

Good luck.

Joe

No, No Riot...No strawberries!!!! PLAIN active culture yogurt. It really has been a known home remedy for years and years. For those who are prone to yeast infections I would recommend taking oral acidophilus tablets. You can get them at any health food store. The kind that need refrigeration.

I'm glad to hear you are feeling better this morning. I know from when I have had a yeast infection that when THAT part of you is sore and itchy it becomes your entire focus. It's just an awful feeling.

Just a Dom

Hey, thanks for the response. i appreciate all the effort you put into it. So far i'm good with the swelling. i might actually try the yogurt if i end up having a yeast infection, most likely only because it sounds way interesting.

Funny, i have switched body soap lately.

Thanks, that was really informative and i'm going to keep it handy (as well as this thread) if anything else should go wrong.

Heck, i think i'm going to copy the thread and make it my arsenal against punani problems. There's been ALOT of helpful advice in this thread and i really really appreciate it. Ya know, and i KNEW that the best place to go with my punani problem was CM! So i am going to end up saving everyone's responses (hopefully no one minds.. if you do let me know)

So i can create this little folder in my documents called "punani problems"

Thank you all for the help!

No strawberries? Aaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwww. Man! i was thinking "hey i've an interesting way to flavor my punani. Banana's in the morning, strawberries in the afternoona and Blue berries at night! <wicked grin>

ok ok ok.. plain yogurt. :: heavy sigh :: you've ruined my dreams!

Yeah it does become the entire focus. Omgosh. Thanks i'm quite pleased i'm feeling better too. I swear, the folks on CM can be just gems. i know if i had asked my mother she'd of just shrugged and said "take excedrin" LOL

thanks folks.. and thanks again.. and thanks AGAIN. Cant thank everyone enough. Not only did i get tons of good suggestions, i had some company in my misery and that can be more helpful then anything else sometimes.

So thanks again.

if it's anything topical..plain cider vinegar ,diluted and used as a rinse will soothe your skin and it's safe..pat yourself dry afterwards..and if it "burns " a little it will be temporary..please try this and let me know if it helps

I had heard of this home made topic before, but I wasn't sure how it works, so I didn't post it. I have heard that women used to do this to clean their crotch before hygiene products were in the market and that is an excelent recomendation. Thanks redpetals!

And high-pressure washers, don't forget high-pressure washing.

Air would help to keeping it hot and sweaty under you pants all day would make it worse. i would suggest when you have the privacy to lay open legged infront of a fan for a while, and try to wear t hings like dresses or skirts to allow it to breathe.

Gosh, I don't know how I've managed all these years. And to think that I use soap every single day (sometimes several times a day) and I have never in my life had a urinary tract infection, a bladder infection or a bacterial infection. As for the PH, the only time I have ever even had a yeast infection is after a heavy round of antibiotics. I could never think about splashing some water on it and calling it clean. As a matter of fact, I am fanatical about hygiene. For those of you who don't use soap....please tell me, what on earth do you use?

Well, there's this soap here in Chile I use, but I don't know of any brands in the US. It's basicaly ph accurate. Just ask at your drugstore for the right soap. Now, some women have a lot more problems there than others. I just happen to have a bad urinate system (when I was born, my kidneys where not fully developed, and I had really bad kidney stones at the age of 2), so, hygiene to me is a huge concern. But you probably have more resistance, so, a soap with neutral ph would be just fine (Dove for example), but don't abuse of it.

Ive had tons of problems with kidney /UTI sorts of infections. Only thing Im advised to not do is take lots of bubble baths, and the pediatrician said that for the mini-me's too..that bubble bath isnt good for down there.

Grew up using Ivory, but now I cant stand the smell of it. too many memories of having it in my mouth after I repeated new words Id learned or god forbid smarted off.

• Avoid excessive washing, as this will remove the protective natural oils on

the vulvar skin and will dry and irritate the skin. from http://www.issvd.org/document_library/Genital%20Itch%20in%20Women.doc
