Does vinegar treat thrush?!


Question: Does vinegar treat thrush!?
I've heard that applying vinegar to the vagina can help prevent thrush, but is it true that white wine vinegar actually feeds the thrush bacteria rather than killing it!?Www@Answer-Health@Com

Actually, for chronic yeast infections douching with plain water and vinegar can be recommended by a doctor!. It was for me after over a year dealing with chronic yeast infections!. I only had to do it once a week because the acidic vinegar killed the yeast and helped fight the infection but it wasn't so often that it completely destroyed all the good bacteria!. I would not recommend douching unless under the direction of a doctor in extreme conditions and I wouldn't recommend doing it as prevention simply because it can also wash away the helpful bacteria!. For prevention I eat plain yogurt with active cultures and apply it inside with either a tampon soaked in yogurt or by using a baby medicine dropper!. I have to do this so the chronic infections don't come back!. The active cultures (bacteria) in the yogurt eats away the yeast!. As for white wine vinegar, I would never use that!. Anything with sugar in it will only feed the yeast and make it worse!. That's why yogurt other than plain doesn't work!. I would never use just vinegar in a douche if you decide to do that!. It will be too acidic and will burn terribly!. The premade douches at the grocery store are fine if you go that route!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I wouldn't try that, even though I am a firm believer in Vinegar cures!. You need an anti-fungal cream!. They can be bought over the counter, but probably best with a prescription!. The vinegar will kill a lot of bacterias, but it really burns at times and that may irritate your sensitive skin!. Good luck to you young lady!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

No!.

For the record ANY sort of introduction of douching products (even just plain water) can CAUSE infections (including yeast/thrush) because the douching washes away the beneficial bacteria that keep yeast in check!.

DO NOT DOUCHE WITH ANYTHING EVER!. It is NOT healthy!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
