Laura Govan Opens Up About Yeast Infections
Laura Govan is opening up about a super personal health concern that many women face: yeast infections. The ex reality star, who shares 4 children with former NBA baller Gilbert Arenas, recently shared that after her last child she experienced a chronic unrelenting string of vaginal yeast infections. Thankfully, now, its under control, but she wants to share her experience with other women who may experience the same issue. She explains,
My biggest problem was getting yeast infections because I can’t break sugar down. There’s so much sugar in so many things, and changing my diet; it was hard, it was a struggle.
She continues,
I just wasn’t happy. Although everybody else was happy and healthy, I felt uncomfortable and not good. I just didn’t feel good.
When asked if a smell was associated with the yeast infection, she explains,
Well for me… I don’t go around smelling like salmon croquette! Like I’m not… you know, I’m fresh. But, there’s still like… you know when you start rubbing? And the smell? It’s like anything – if you start rubbing cottage cheese after a while it’s like, it’s smells like a little cardboard with a little hint of, you know, something.
So what helped fix her problem? She says she eats less processed foods and sugar.
I can’t even eat a Starburst. I just drink a lot of water to flush out all the toxins.
Now, her diet now mainly consists of greens, apples, and less sugar. She has also stopped wearing thongs. Women who suffer from yeast infections should visit their gynecologist. Other suggestions include: changing your diet, keeping the area dry and wearing white cotton underwear.

I also had a problem with several back to back yeast infections, due to the fact that i have type 2 diabetes, i was constantly going to my gyn doctor every month, getting antibiotic’s and cream, what i found out that i was consuming to much sugar which causes yeast, and also the side effect of the antibiotic cause yeast, so i learned how to control my diabetes with medication and changed the way i was eating, so sugar is no longer a big part of my diet.
I’m a woman and glad that we can talk about these things but this just made me gag for all sorts of reasons. Good Lord she just ruined my lunch w all this talk of salmon croquettes and cottage cheese and rubbing and cardboard…Yuck.
Some things should remain private…such as this!!!
Everything isn’t for public consumption. This right here, is ‘kitchen table talk.’
People will do anything for a few coins this is something you talk with your sister or bff…..smfh. anyway since she just had to tell her story why she use food to describe the odor she couldn’t use something else. nasty, nasty, nasty……. hope she feel good now the world know about her back to back yeast infection.
Laura, please don’t blame the consequences of having unprotected sex on a diet that included Skittles. Maybe if you stop having unprotected sex with promiscuous NBA players and their teammates, your issues with cardboard and cottage cheese vaginal smells will disappear.
