Yeast infection, also known as Candida Albicans is a common infection among women although it is sometimes found in men too. This infection is mostly triggered when yeast begins to overpopulate in the body having lost control because the regulation bacteria has been eliminated mostly by antibacterial doses. If you are having Candida infection, the first thing to do is to stop using antibacterial drugs because that may be the only reason why you are having this infection.
When the infection starts, it usually continues to aggravate until it becomes really unbearable. It is characterized by symptoms such as whitish or yellowish discharge in the affected area, abdominal pains, itching in the affected part, pains during urination and sexual intercourse and unusual uneasiness in in the affected area. These symptoms can be so severe that the sufferer may have to stay indoors till a cure is found. The discharge and the itching is most embarrassing.
Modern medicine prescribes antibiotics for the treatment of yeast infection and this works while the drug is active in the body. After the effect wanes, the infection returns. This leaves you to returning to purchase the same set of drugs over and over again till probably the body develops a resistance to the drugs. Over the years, researches continued and it has been found that natural cures for yeast infection is much better than other forms of treatment.
As a matter of fact, modern medicine does not provide a means for cure; only relief is assured and a temporal one at that. This is not to discredit modern medicine but the issue is about finding a cure for your infection. If you are done with repeating the same set of drugs, you might want to try natural cures for Candida infection.
Most of the natural cures are things that can be readily found at home. For instance, many women have testified to the use of tea tree oil mixed with water. This has helped them to cure yeast infection. Another type of treatment more commonly used is unsweetened yoghurt which contains live cultures. Yoghurt contains the same type of bacteria that is found in the body that helps to regulate the population of yeast. By placing a little of yoghurt on a tampon and placing on the affected part, an almost immediate relief is felt and an eventual cure.
Natural cures for yeast infection are without side effects and they are very effective. Besides, you will not have to spend a lot of money since they are once and for all treatments. I recommend such for everyone battling with yeast infections.
