The ABC Homeopathy Forum
Please help with a urinary tract infection and yeast infection!
Hi... I would like some help with a urinary tract infection and yeast infection that came on about 9 days ago now. I have been trying to treat with D Mannose, cranberry, and vitamins and herbs, and it is not quite getting it. So I thought I would try homeopathy. Just don't like the sound of the side effects on the antibiotic and yeast medicine the DR. wrote for me. But as I read all the forums and stuff online, I see that there are a variety of remedies that might work, and I am a little unclear as to how you will know how to move to the next dose or change remedies if you feel one is not working. I bought Cantharis 30C yesterday, diluted 1 pellet in 4 oz of water (per some instructions by a Dr. Luc online) and took a teaspoon before bed, which seemed to help some, and then another about an hour and a half later. Then went to sleep. Woke up in the middle of the night with worse symptoms but did nothing but go back to sleep. Now I am up for the day and don't know whether this remedy is just not working, IS working and just being up and down, or if I need to try another rememdy or add one. Don't really know the 'rules' of how to dose. I am miserable with this UTI and don't want to resort to the Cipro, so can somebody help? I was also looking at Sarsaparilla and staphysagria as possibilities. Thanks for any help anyone can offer. It is Sat July 6th and I'd like to get some help today if possible!pmwoodward on 2013-07-06

Hi Anuj! Thanks so much for your reply! My tongue seems to be closest to #2 on your list. Pink, clean, and wetter on the sides but with no bubbles or frothy saliva. On the symptoms during urinating, only days ago in the very beginning of my symptoms was I burning. Throughout however, I have had this inside 'tickle' or uncomfortable feeling like when you have to go to the bathroom or when you contract your vagina (i.e. pelvic exercises), and it feels like the feeling is primarily in the urethra vs. the lower areas. Although it is there some too. it is deep in my vagina, maybe in the . It was worse on days 1-3, but now that I have had this for about 6 days, it is less, but I can still feel the uncomfortable tickle when doing nothing, and then upon urinating, it gets worse the moment I squeeze to urinate, throughout the urinating, and then softens a little upon release. There is really no stinging or real burning now; just that awful tickling or vibration! I also am getting the yeast infection back. This all started with yeast symptoms about 9 days ago, so I tried to treat at home with essential oils on a tampon, but that didn't work. So I went out and bought a Monostat 3 day kit and that helped some, only to have the urinary tract symptoms begin about 5 days ago. I tried cranberry, herbs, sitz baths, essential oils on the acupressure points, probiotics, etc. and they all helped, but nothing has 'kicked' it. And now the yeast has come back. I went to the Dr. yesterday just to get the prescriptions in case I got to the point I was desperate, but after reading the side effects, I'd really like to kill this bacteria or cure this another way! I'm also having bad leg cramps at night, and I have this great magnesium lotion that usually works, but am afraid to take that WITH the homeopathic remedies as it is lavender smelling. Anyway, I'm not having the urge to urinate real frequently now, just still have that horrible subtle tickle that won't go away, and that also gets worse when I urinate. I also have the yeast infection symptoms, my nose stays stopped up a little, and have had problems with urine coming out of I sneeze. (JUst wanted to tell you these things in case that helps more with finding a remedy for me) Thanks for your help so much. I will wait for your reply as to what you think I should do!

Anuj - something I forgot to say is that I am going through peri-menopause as well, so I have been bleeding vaginally a bit over the last week. Not bleeding any today, but it comes and goes. I am trying to drink a lot of water, but am unsure what of the other self help things I was doing can be added back in if I am using a homeopathic remedy (i.e. cranberry juice, garlic, essential oils, apple cider vinegar baths, etc.) Thanks!

Thanks Anuj. And just so I am clear...
1. you want me to take both of these homeopathics starting today for at least two days no matter whether my symptoms get worse or better?
2. I understand that I should take them 30 min before or after meals, but do I take them both at the same time, or should they be taken apart as well?
3. I took my last tsp. of Cantharis at 9:00 AM EST this morning, so how long do I need to wait to begin these?
4. Is the staphysagria a 30C tablet, and does it go under the tongue?
5. is this Mag Phos short for a longer name? Is this 6X or 6C? And do I dilute these in any amount of water and then just drink? So a total of 20 pellets a day??? (I do have an energetic sensitivity to a lot of things)
6. Is there anything at all that I cannot take or drink 30 min before or after this? In other words, would it be OK for me to also do the magnesium lotion or do essential oils with this or will it harm the effectiveness because of the smell? What about the cranberry juice, probiotics, or other vitamins? Would they help or do I not need them?
7. I know I should not have sexual relations while I have the yeast infection (because of passing it to my husband), but once the yeast symptoms have subsided, will being intimate harm the efforts of the homeopathic medicine on the urinary tract infection?
Thanks again for your help!

Anuj - my local health food store has the staphysagria 30C, but only has the mag phos in 30 C, NOT 6x as you suggested. Can you re-do the dosage to fit this, or what should I do? I also want to know if this protocol should kill the bacteria causing the UTI so that it is gone for good? Thank you!
pmwoodward last decade
you can go in for 30 c but dont put it in hot water.try and get hold of mp 6x whenever possible,found it to be more effective.
dont take any ting else for the moment.however if you feel very strongly you may have it.

I can't find the mag phos 6x here in town. Should I just take the staphysagria and order the mag phos 6x online, or should I take the staphysagria 30C and the mag phos 30C? I would be waiting until next week if I waited on the mag phos, or if the 30C would be better than nothing, please give me the amount and dosage frequency. Thanks!
pmwoodward last decade
yes go with mp 30 c no harm.5 pills of each 3 times a day.

I found the mag phos 6x at Whole Foods! Thanks again for your help and I will let you know how I am doing in two days (Monday.) I will continue taking the remedies for two days even if my symptoms completely go away, per your instructions. Have a great weekend! :-)
