This is not humorous

[Darla Clement]

This is not at all funny or a giggly problem.  Yeast infections are uncomfortable, and a clove of garlic does wonders for the system, but having it stuck is not a laughing matter.  

I'd love it if someone who actually knew what to do made a post, and leave the laughing to yourself.

Are you asking for tips on removing "lost" garlic from the vagina?

I don't have any great tips in that area, but just wanted to clarify.

Good luck!

Maybe kegals would help?
 

Also, wrapping the clove in gauze (next time, of course) can be helpful for making removal easier.

Do you have a partner that could assist you with searching out the lost clove?  If you've tried everything that you can think of and there is no partner to offer further assistance, I'd recommend going to a doctor and having them remove it.  Yes, it would be slightly embarrassing; but, you're not the first woman to do so.  The embarrassment would fade, and you'd be garlic free.  

For future use, I've heard of people using a needle to thread the cloves onto sturdy string for easier removal.

I might give a local HB midwife a call. Some provide" well woman care" and i think this falls under that. she will probably already be familiar with this home remedy for yeast infections (won't give you a hard time), will be able to help remove it, and will be gentler and charge you less than a hospital or doctor.

I would go to a midwife.
