Hello

If a bacterial infection has been ruled out, you might want to change your diet to eat more yogurt, and less foods such as garlic and onions.

You can also try a betidine douche, but be cautious not to use this too often as it can kill your normal flora and cause a yeast infection.

Reply to Kerry's Post: I have tried the betidine and it did not help. Diet is a good question? I don't like to eat yogurt. Is their a homeopathic alternative?
