Thrush

there's a drug around called diflucan that kills thrush . You'd have to get
a prescription for it from your doctor.
very effective.

Creams available include brand names such as Monistat, Femstat,
Gyne-Lotrimin, and Mycostatin. Homeopathic creams, as well are available
such as Vagisil which is at least helpful in reducing the incessant itching
that is present in most yeast infections.

no, it's not an alternative suggestion but it is the best one I could think
of.
I don't actually know of an effective alternative treatment for yeast, but
of course that doesn't mean there isn't one.
I have read oregano oil is helpful, but it seems to me that might burn a
little bit.
there's something in yogurt called lactobacillus acidophilus a "good"
bacteria, that may help as well.
Garlic and oil leaf extract are also supposed to have some anti-fungal
properties.
and of course, if none of that seems helpful and the diflucan (which is a
pill) doesn't seem to sit very well, there's always monistat cream (you can
buy it over the counter now)

candida due to hormonal replacement therapy

it makes no sense to "treat" until the stuff is looked at under a
microscope(which can detect many forms of vaginal flora)

hormone replacement therapy ..by itself....does not mean it is yeast....

best to see a doc who can look under scope..or culture..and treat accordingly..

Vagisal..etc for itch relief is a good option...but will only help the
itch..not if any change in flora..

those old enuf to be using HRT do have a problem with vaginal dryness and
itching..

hawki.....
