Suggest Remedy For Cut In The Vagina From A Home Remedy For Yeast Infection

i was trying to cure a yeast infection with garlic (bad idea i know) and the clove was too high to get out. So i panicked a little and was pushing it around at the top with my fingers and i got it out but i think i cut my vagina in the process because the garlic came out with blood and i can feel it stinging. What should I do?

Hello and welcome to HCM,
Yeast infection of vagina can be treated with anti-fungal ointment.
The anti-fungal ointment available are very effective in treating fungal infections.
So, I would discourage you from using garlic or cloves to treat the infection.
Since, there is bleeding I would suggest you to consult your gynecologist for clinical assessment.
The cause of bleeding needs to be found out.
In case there is associated discharge, a microbiological examination will help to exactly know the cause - fungal or bacterial.
Appropriate anti-microbial treatment will help to treat the infection.

Thanks and take care
