hello,

welcome to HCM,

i have read your history and want to give u some suggestions that relieve your yeast as well as urinary infection both.

for the UTI

Antibiotics usually are the first line treatment for urinary tract infections. take combination of ofloxacin and ornidazole twice a day for 3 to 5 days depends upon the severity of the disease. it will flush out the bacteria from urinary tract and make it healhy

pain medication (analgesic) that numbs your bladder and urethra to relieve burning while urinating, but pain usually is relieved soon after starting an antibiotic.take ibuprofen for pain relief - 250 mg twice a day for 3 days.


Drink plenty of water. Water helps to dilute your urine and flush out bacteria.
Avoid drinks that may irritate your bladder. Avoid coffee, alcohol, and soft drinks containing citrus juices or caffeine until your infection has cleared. They can irritate your bladder and tend to aggravate your frequent or urgent need to urinate.
Use a heating pad. Apply a warm, but not hot, heating pad to your abdomen to minimize bladder pressure or discomfort.

cranberry juice to prevent UTIs

Wipe from front to back. Doing so after urinating and after a bowel movement helps prevent bacteria in the anal region from spreading to the vagina and urethra.
Empty your bladder soon after intercourse. Also, drink a full glass of water to help flush bacteria.

Change your birth control method. Diaphragms, or unlubricated or spermicide-treated condoms, can all contribute to bacterial growth.


for yeast infection

some medications as well as some precautions are necessary.

Take fluconazole for 3 days after meal

use clotrimazole powder after perspiration, bathing, and swimming

do not wash vagina to much

do not wash vagina and groin area with soap it will alter normal PH of vagina and invite bacteria

use v-wash or clean and dry or intimate area wash two ties in a day for washing vaginal area it will maintain normal PH and bacterial flora

wear cotton based , fresh and clean underwear

do not use soap which leads to excessive dryness. use tea tree oil for toipical external application which has strong anti fungal activity

use topical application of clotrimazole thrice a day will help you a a lot.

you need to maintain personal hygiene, drink lots of water, keep your vagina clean, need to void following sexual intercourse, and have a healthy diet. If your immunity is decreased, to tend to be more prone for infections.hope I was helpful to you.

Hope this may help you
thanks
