Female issues for DD - might be tmi

[Chocolate Moose]

DD occasioanllly feels like she's getting a UTO and or yeast infection so we keep yogurt and cranberry juice in the house for her. Those are the most popular home remedies online too.

Does anyone have any others? She's going to ask her dr, of course, what to do.

I DON'T KNOW HOW OLD SHE IS, OR IF SHE'S HAVING SEX, ALOT OF GIRLS START GETTING FREQUENT UTI'S WHEN SHE STARTS HAVING SEX, OR MASTERBATING , IF SHE'S HAVING SEX, TELL HER TO URINATE AFTER SEX EVERYTIME.

IF SHE'S YOUNGER, AND TAKING BUBBLE BATHS, OR JUST PLAIN BATHS, THAT MAY BE A PROBLEM ALSO.
PLENTY FLUIDS, AVOID CARBONATED/CAFFEINATED DRINKS. WATER AND JUICES, AVOID THE ACIDY JUICES- ORANGE/GRAPEFRUIT/TOMATO ETC

If she is getting infection frequently maybe they need to look a little deeper to why.
They found I get UTI's alot cause of kidneys are bad.

OTC med Cystex helps.

Maybe you should remind your dd about the importance of cleanliness down there. In what direction does she wipe herself? Should always be from front to back. Too tight of clothes might cause it. Those places need air. Cotton underware.

Eating too much yeast and sugary things.

My daughter was getting alot of Urinary Tract Infections/Yeast Infections and Yes, it does affect the Kidneys. She was in the Hospital for it. Thongs are a NO NO. Another cause, is if shes sexually active, her BF might be a carrier for Yeast Infections. My daugher hasnt had one since she broke up with her EX.

I had a problem with this and Dr suggested I sit in a bathtub with vinegar, about 2 cups and about 1 cup of salt dissolved in it, then fill with warm water, do this a couple of times a day. This helped, but it would reoccur the next week, come to find out, they finally tested me for diabetes, and that was my problem. Could you get her tested for that?

I used to get them many years ago on a regular basis. Finally my doc told me not to take bath anymore, just showers, and to wear cotton underpants. And he was right , no more infections. And yes, Nu, has a good point about urinating after sex. I guess all this is TMI LOL

Re: Female issues for DD - might be tmi

omg! too funny, first the thread is definitely TMI, but a necessary one, and now the word OOOGY!!!!


So, I am going to add my 2 cents of tmi, if she isn't sexually active with a partner, but using a vibrator, she needs to know that it is absolutely necessary to clean them after each use with a specific cleaner for vibrators.

That falls under "Things you wish your mom had told you but didn't"
