I'm currently experiencing a yeast infection. I know it's a yeast infection because of the appearance of my discharge and the intense itchy/burning feeling on my vulva. I'm pretty sure this happened because I used Irish spring soap and accidentally got it on my vulva (I got in the shower and forgot I ran out of my Dove wash and had to use that darn Irish spring bar). If only I could go back in time lol. I also just stopped my birth control and I don't know if that could be throwing my body off too? This is only the second yeast infection I've ever had. My last one was 9 years ago and I don't think I realized what I had, but my labia were basically stuck together and when I'd even open them up it was so painful and burning. I got some coconut oil to rub on myself and literally the next day all my symptoms were gone. This time around, I'm on day 2 of the infection. I've rubbed a ton of coconut oil on my vulva and worked some inside of me. It really helps with some of the discomfort. I'm really hoping this remedy will kick it soon ugh. The crazy thing also is that I've been drinking those Ollipop sodas almost every day the past 2 weeks. Lots of women have said to take probiotics, but they've been in my system yet I get this yeast infection all of a sudden? Is there any more successful natural remedies I could be doing? I have a gyno appointment on the 17th I scheduled months ago but I really want to kick this infection ASAP submitted by /u/Intelligent_Sun828
