Are you suffering from vaginal yeast infection? You must be very careful with the way you are handling the treatment. Most of the over the counter treatments available will only help you to suppress the symptoms of this ailment for a period but usually, the infection will return with a fuller force when the effect of such treatments wane.
There are effective natural vaginal yeast infection remedies that can be used to cure this infection. They involve the use of home items which are readily available. Let me show you some of these remedies in this article. Vaginal yeast infections are due to bodily imbalances which can be triggered by:
• Use of perfumes, sprays and douches,
• Use of antibacterial, steroidal or birth control drugs,
• Diets that contain sugar e.g white rice, white flour, beer, soda, carbonated drinks etc.
• General drop in body immunity e.g. such as may be experienced during pregnancy.
As long as the body maintains its balance, yeast is kept in check by good bacteria known as Acidophilus. However, the allowances of any of the above causes may weaken, depopulate or kill these good bacteria. Yeast will immediately begin to overgrow to the point of causing an infection.
This infection is usually characterized by symptoms such as soreness and redness of the vaginal, pains during sex and urination and a discharge from the vagina of whitish to yellowish fluid which smells like yeast. Immediately this is noticed, you may want to stop using any antibiotics, sprays, perfumes, steroidal or birth control pills. Also, go low on sugary foods. That will make the condition of the body inconducive for yeast to continue its overgrowth.
