I’m not sure what else to say—I posted here looking for advice. If no one is going to offer any suggestions, I’ll have to stop posting. My daughter refuses to go to the doctor, and I can’t physically force her. She may have anxiety issues, and we’re going to work on that, but right now she wants to cure her infection.

There are. no. suggestions, because the parameters you specify are impossible. There is no home remedy that works for a yeast infection with this duration. So yes, you should stop posting—no one is going to come up with anything because there IS NOTHING. She cannot cure her infection on her terms. The end.

Seriously-i’m starting to think OP has more issues than the daughter at this point. This is insane. She can’t just leave it. It’s never going to go away without treatment.

i guess the "good news" here is that a long-term untreated pelvic infection is likely going to cause permanent fertility damage, so they can't continue the dynasty of crazy past this generation. maybe that's her goal. fingers crossed no sepsis, i guess.

OP, I understand there may not be a home remedy which is why I was asking for telehealth companies. My daughter really needs reassurance, but she isn’t open to the ones I’ve suggested so far. She doesn’t want to do telemedicine with her doctor.

If you don’t have multiple suggestions she can choose from, it’s really not that hard to just not comment. I’m not sure why that’s so difficult.

Also, I truly did not appreciate comments about infertility or wishing harm on my child. That was unnecessary and extremely upsetting. It made me emotional —she has had worry about infertility before, and since she hopes to have a family one day, those kinds of remarks hit a very sensitive nerve for me emotionally. That’s not what I came here for.

If she wants to have a family she needs to learn to go to the doctor or she'll be putting herself and her future kid in danger.

You have been presented with pretty much all the options and keep coming back here. There is no magic solution to get medical care without medical care.

If that is the case, she needs an oral med. With an infection of this duration, it will take two single-dose pills of Diflucan to eliminate it. I don't know what you are doing dithering about home remedies when this is available. Call the doctor and get it.

The doctor isn’t an option. At first she didn’t want to go because it’s too far and doesn’t like appointments, but now she knows that yeast infections are diagnosed with pelvic exams or visual screenings, which makes her uncomfortable. Her doctor is male, so that’s not an option, and she wouldn’t feel comfortable with a woman either.

Her only option now is telehealth that doesn’t involve video calls, because she doesn’t want to talk to anyone about this. The issue is she needs a liquid medication, and not many telehealth companies offer that. Also, she’s not sure which telehealth services are reliable, and provide uncontaminated medication.

Thanks—any suggestions for which telehealth service to use that’s safe and trustworthy?

The doctor is a fuxking option you dumbass. If you can’t afford it go to the free clinic

+1 it’s been a whole ducking month since this thread started. If this was a 17 year old I would be reporting this thread to the fbi and having them take her to the Obgyn ffs.

Well, she won’t go to the doctor for a simple “yeast infection” that’s in quotes because she actually doesn’t know what it is because she is refusing to be diagnosed-how is she going to respond if/when she does get pregnant and has a complication? She is just gonna hope for the best in that case too and expect a magical fairly to drop antibiotics on her doorstep without even having a conversation? You and your daughter are both very removed from reality. If she does cause permanent damage it will be 100% because of her own stupid decisions and your enabling the stupidity as her parent.

Will she take her children to the doctor or will we be reading about your family on the news?

The longer the infection persists the more and more resistant her fungus or probably in her case bacterium will become. It’s going to take a physician months and maybe even years to cure this set in, highly resistant infection now.

Oh by the way, if she starts vomiting or convulsing take her to an ER. Thats how the end starts. Cheers. Idiot.

I’m fairly sure most telehealth companies will be the same. And again, it’s been a problem for long enough that they’ll want to diagnose in person.

If she’s never been to a gyn before, or had a pelvic exam, I get that they can be scary the first time.

Does she know that the exam will be done by a woman, or if done by a male there will be a female chaperone in the room with her? Obviously she’s allowed to take a support person with her if she feels the need (someone calm, cool, collected would be preferable- they can also help take notes if she’s anxious and worries about remembering everything). It does not have to be a parent, it can be anyone. And if she tells the provider she’s nervous they will explain everything to her about the exam before, and then get consent for each step as it progresses.

CNM here- i’m not going to read all 17 pages of this thread but it sounds like there’s all kinds of misinformation flying around. Obviously the best choice for yeast symptoms is to have an exam to make sure 1) it really is yeast as other things can sometimes mimic those symptoms and 2) she doesn’t also have an STI or something like that. She should certainly try OTC meds if she hasn’t already (Monistat etc). Prescription antifungals need an appointment, there are certainly Telehealth options to get those as a first step .They’ll usually prescribe a single dose and then say come for an exam if symptoms don’t go away. Yeast does not cause infertility no matter how long it hangs around it’s just uncomfortable (for example if yeast shows up on a Pap but people aren’t experiencing symptoms it’s not even treated). She could also try boric acid which is also available without a prescription.

The issue is, she won’t go to the doctor so there is no way to know if it’s yeast or something else. That’s the main issue here.

Understood. But if she is really resistant to going in for an appointment, it would be reasonable to try over-the-counter options first and if symptoms go away then the urgency of the exam has also disappeared.

Sounds like the daughter is on the spectrum. I think it’s really inconsiderate and ableist for people here to call this kid “crazy”, and blame her for her issues and imply that she shouldn’t have kids due to being autistic. I notice ND people are regularly thought to be less than on this forum. Disgusting.

You are projecting. The mom has consistently said that is not the case. That being said, I blame the mom here-not the daughter. But I think this has way more to do with WHY the daughter won’t see a doctor. I actually don’t think it’s a yeast infection-I think it’s more likely an STI and she doesn’t want anyone to know, including herself. I think she is trying to get a prescription without seeing a doctor for a general antibiotic that she is hoping will clear WHATEVER it is up. The problem with that is of course that different antibiotics are for different things so it’s not going to work like she hopes.
