EFFECTIVE WAYS TO "ELIMINATE" VAGINAL YEAST INFECTION

- By Favourite Nurse Favour




















To many ladies, vaginal yeast infection isn’t just irritating—it’s deeply uncomfortable. While some experience it as a mild itch, others deal with recurring infections that interrupt their peace, confidence, and daily life.
As your favourite nurse, I want you to know: even though this infection can be frustrating, there are fast, effective, and lasting solutions—once you understand what’s exposing you to it and how to treat it properly.


BUT FIRST, GET A PROPER DIAGNOSIS!

Before assuming it’s a yeast infection, visit your doctor—especially if:
  • You’ve had it for more than 3 days
  • It keeps coming back
  • You’re pregnant
  • You have symptoms that might point to a sexually transmitted infection (STI)
Note: Mild yeast infections may go away in a few days.
More severe or persistent ones may take up to two weeks to fully heal.


WHAT CAN EXPOSE YOU TO YEAST INFECTION?

  1. Scented feminine products (pads, vaginal washes, sprays, wipes).
  2. Over washing or scrubbing the vagina.
  3. Overconsumption of sugar. (Ladies, where there’s sugar, yeast will surely gather—just like ants.)
  4. Wearing damp, tight, or moldy underwear
  5. (This could be the reason your infection keeps coming back.)
  6. Staying too long in wet clothes (e.g., after workouts or swimming).
  7. Prolonged use of antibiotics.
  8. Poor vaginal hygiene habits.

HOW TO ELIMINATE YEAST INFECTION

MEDICAL TREATMENT OPTIONS:

  • Fluconazole tablets (oral antifungal)
  • Nystatin vaginal inserts
  • Clotrimazole or Miconazole topical creams (e.g., Micotine)

Important Tips:
  • Always complete the full dose, even if symptoms disappear early.
  • Avoid these medications during pregnancy unless prescribed.
  • Don’t use expired medications.
  • Creams/suppositories may weaken condoms—consider other protection during treatment.

LIFESTYLE TIPS TO HELP HEAL & PREVENT REINFECTION

  • Change your underwear regularly
  • Use only unscented hygiene products
  • Avoid wipes and intimate sprays
  • Cut down or quit sugar
  • Eat unsweetened yoghurt (natural probiotics)
  • Eat fermented foods like ogi (pap)
  • Wear cotton underwear—avoid tight nylon pants
  • Dry off properly before wearing underwear
  • Go naked while at home or sleeping to let your vulva breathe



IN SUMMARY

Yeast infection can be distressing, but you’re not alone—and you don’t have to keep suffering.

With the right treatment, proper hygiene, and healthy habits, you can be free of it—and prevent it from coming back.


If you’re unsure, speak to a healthcare provider.

As your nurse, I’m here to guide you to full healing.


Lots of love my Queens

IRREGULAR PERIODS: Causes, Signs & Tips Every Woman Should Know.

- By Favourite Nurse Favour

Dear Queen, How often have you silently wondered if your period is “normal” — yet felt too scared or confused to ask? You’re not alone in this quiet struggle. So many of us carry the weight of unanswered questions, enduring pain, missed cycles, or heavy bleeding, wondering if this is just “how it’s supposed to be.” Sometimes it feels like we know more about the latest phone or fashion trend than about the very rhythms of our own bodies — those sacred cycles that shape who we are. And the silence around this topic? Deafening. But your body is speaking, Queen. It’s trying to tell you something deep and vital — a message that could change everything about how you feel, live, and love yourself. You deserve to hear that message loud and clear. Because your menstrual cycle is not just a “monthly thing.” It’s a mirror reflecting your health, your stress, your strength, and your spirit. One of the most important signals to pay attention to is when your period becomes irregular. So, what...

YEAST INFECTION (GENITAL CANDIDIASIS INTRO)

GENITAL YEAST INFECTION Yeast infection can be so uncomfortable. It makes you restless, irritated and tired–especially when it keeps coming back even after you’ve treated it. In fact, 3 out of 4 ladies would experience this once in their life time.  Just imagine being invited to an event, and while you are on stage giving a speech, you suddenly feel an intense desire to itch your vulva. You try to ignore it, but the itch just won’t stop. At that point, it might even disorganize your thoughts, and you find yourself rushing through your speech just to run to the restroom. This infection is both embarrassing and exhausting. Let me give you another example:  A lady once said, that when hers starts, she uses a comb to scratch it. Yes–a comb! She said the more she scratches, the more intense the itch becomes. Just imagine what we women go through. And that’s why on this blog, you are going to learn about: “What exactly is a yeast infection, including its symptoms.” WHAT IS YEAST INF...
