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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.
