I was hoping some women here could share their experiences using these vaginal suppositories.
I’ve been dealing with a constant yeast infection battle for a year now, and honestly, I feel like I’ve tried everything under the sun. This might be my last resort... I’ve been taking Lactogyn and using Vaseline for about a month, but so far, nothing seems to work. It’s incredibly frustrating, to say the least.🙂

Personally, I would prefer if all topics were written properly 😁

Wait, where did you actually find those? I saw them at CVS a few years back, but then they just disappeared from the shelves completely. Did you spot them somewhere else lately?

I haven't personally tried them—but honestly, they seem pretty mild. If you've already gone through stronger stuff without luck, I doubt these will cut it for a stubborn yeast infection.

Check out .

That's how I ordered mine.

You can stare at that website until you're blue in the face. Seriously! I ordered through their middleman and I haven't seen a single vaginal wipe even today. At this point, you might as well just start walking toward Canada...

I’m not really sure why they didn't reach you, I'm sorry to hear that.
I actually spoke with the lady, and she managed to ship a package directly to my house without any issues. 🙂
I've been using them for a few days now, and I have to say, the discharge has gone down significantly—it's almost gone...🙂 I guess those wipes probably need to be used for about twenty days or so to fully clear out the yeast infection.☕

Grab some Nystatin suppositories and some Nexium ointment; just stick with that for about a week. Oh, and you might want to pick up some Hygeia wash while you're at it. Also, doing some chamomile sitz baths here and there shouldn't hurt either.

I finally picked them up! I actually traveled to Canada and grabbed them there for like a third of the price I was quoted by that lady here. I've been using them for three days now, so we'll see how it goes.

Honestly, I feel like I’ve tried every single vaginal suppository out there—Canesten, Nystatin, Betadine, Vaseline, Nystatin—and nothing has worked. Nothing! My lab results always come back totally normal, yet I'm still stuck dealing with these constant symptoms that just won't quit. For years now, I've strictly used Hygeia for my feminine wash.
Fingers crossed these herbal suppositories actually show some results!

Could you let us know where specifically in Canada? Like, can I pick this up at any pharmacy throughout Canada, or is it limited? And if you could, please let me know the price.

In my experience, using Nystatin didn't seem to make much of a difference at all; if anything, I felt a bit better only after I had finished the course and waited about ten days. What actually worked for me was switching to using tampons soaked in Lactogyn, and since then, everything has been perfectly fine. It really seems to be a matter of restoring the right acidity to your vaginal flora while simultaneously cutting out all that processed junk food. I’ve also found that sticking to pure cotton underwear and changing it frequently makes a world of difference. You have to ditch the nonsense—no scented toilet paper and absolutely no pads. Just stick to water, cotton, and products like Hygeia or anything else with a pH of 4.5, rather than those things labeled as "neutral," which aren't what you actually need...

What on earth does Vaseline have to do with candidiasis? I mean, isn't that just your standard, run-of-the-mill diaper rash cream? Or am I seriously losing my mind here? 😕

That boric acid ointment is basically used for rinsing the vaginal area when dealing with chronic vaginitis... I tried using it myself, but I didn't really see any improvement. I guess the same treatment doesn't work for everyone.
You can find more info on experiences with yeast infections here:


I'm praying to God that these vaginal suppositories actually help, because I'm honestly at my wit's end...

Right now, I've been taking Lactogyn every single day for about two months 🙂. I'm also taking iron and vitamins daily. A doctor from Virogena suggested there might be a link between low iron levels—like iron-deficiency anemia—and stubborn yeast infections. It seems like quite a few women who struggled with Candida for a long time had poor blood counts, and they only found relief once they boosted their immunity. It makes sense, I suppose, since Candida tends to strike when your immune system is down.😈
I'm trying to build up my reserves now, since my lab results were actually pretty low.😢

Who’s most vulnerable?
It seems like thrush tends to flare up around the time of a period, probably because shifts in vaginal pH levels create the right environment for it. You might also see it more frequently in women who are pregnant, dealing with unmanaged diabetes, or using birth control pills. I guess it’s also pretty common after a course of antibiotics; since those drugs wipe out the good bacteria—like lactobacilli—it leaves the door wide open for yeast to take over.

For some women, these infections just keep coming back. Sometimes that’s actually tied to low iron levels. White blood cells need iron to produce the stuff that fights off yeast. If you feel like you're stuck in a cycle of recurring infections, it might be worth asking your doctor for a blood test to check your ferritin levels.

Honestly, vaginal suppositories made with essential oils can be a total game-changer—I’ve actually seen people get some really solid results using them for both yeast infections and HPV. You can definitely find them here in the States, too. For dealing with yeast, you’re usually looking at a blend of tea tree, niaouli (specifically the linalool chemotype), palmarosa, cinnamon leaf, and German chamomile. Depending on how bad the inflammation is, you could use them once or even twice a day. Just a heads-up though—you won't find these sitting on a shelf at Walgreens; you really need to go through a certified herbalist or an aromatherapist who can custom-blend them specifically for what you're dealing with.

I've been using the vaginal suppositories for five days now—once in the morning and once at night—and I think I'm finally seeing some improvement. That cottage cheese-like discharge seems to be clearing up.
My full course lasts 15 days (30 suppositories total). After I finish those, I was thinking about using a tampon soaked in acidophilus and garlic. Does anyone have any advice on what to do once this round of treatment is over?

Thanks in advance.

Honestly, I’m constantly paranoid that the Candida is just going to come roaring back, so I use a little probiotic tampon once a week just as a preventative measure. It’s like my safety net. There are plenty of specialized suppositories out there designed to maintain pH balance, but my gynecologist actually told me it’s better to just stick with plain old probiotics.

Also, a word of advice: For me, the whole Candida nightmare only really cleared up when I completely cut out sweets, fast food, and all that other junk. Let me tell you, sticking to a diet like that is a massive pain in the neck, but it made a huge difference for me. Honestly, any doctor worth their salt would tell you the exact same thing.

Check here for some reading on how diet affects Candida issues.
You can find here what they call the "anti-Candida diet"—give it a shot. It helps me so much.🙂

Boric acid kills bacteria in small amounts, not fungi..
And when you wipe out the bacteria down there, it creates an imbalance and gives the fungus room to grow..
See, the good bacteria create an acidic environment that prevents the growth of fungi, which prefer alkaline settings..
So just go ahead and use that ointment if you want.😉
Maybe look into the difference between bacteria, fungi, and viruses first! (That's the basics... you probably won't deal with prions or rickettsia, but everyone should know those three.)

If this keeps coming back constantly, the issue might be internal...
you really have to rule out a bunch of different factors. For starters, hygiene (stick to cotton underwear, cotton pads, and standard toilet paper—don't overdo the cleaning, but don't be messy either)
your clothing choices (avoid tight or synthetic fabrics... try to stay away from thongs as much as possible!)
sexual habits (did you treat your partner for yeast infections? Do you practice anal-vaginal sex or use saliva as lubricant? Frequent condom use? Using improper lubricants?)
immune health (are you under a lot of stress, living an irregular lifestyle, etc.)
other medications (most antibiotics cause fungal infections, and some birth control pills can too)
diet (cut back on the sweets, refined sugars, and heavy carbs! Instead, eat plenty of probiotics and yogurt)

I can't think of everything right now, but there's more..
and honestly, just one of these factors could be enough to trigger Candida or make it a recurring problem..

No need to be quite so harsh 😘 I’m well aware of how bacteria, viruses, and fungi work 😎 I’ve been struggling with this for so long that I feel like an expert on candidiasis... I know all the ins and outs, the causes, the symptoms, everything

Basically, ever since I started taking iron, vitamins, Lactogyn, folic acid, and using tea tree vaginal suppositories + applying Canesten externally morning and night + wearing loose, comfy clothes + sticking to a balanced diet high in iron and vitamins (mostly just greens) 🤣 , things have changed
.
🙂 I think the main culprits for me were a weak immune system, long courses of antibiotics, stress, junk food... sweets... but I feel like I'm finally on the right track to beating this... hopefully for good

If you happen to be dealing with stuff like this and feel more comfortable leaning toward natural remedies, I guess you might want to reach out to Stribor Marković over at the Cedrus Center.
