Prevent and Cure Yeast Infection

Yeast infection can cause a lot of anxiety, anguish and embarrassment to many sufferers, especially for females who suffers from vaginal yeast infection. It is not a pleasant experience and definitely not something everyone knows about how to prevent and cure yeast infection. But if you follow the below mentioned recommendations and advice. Take small steps to prevent yeast infection, you are one step ahead of curing those nasty infections, and of course itching!

These are some very easy advice and steps to take note of:

Be Diligent, Clean Yourself Thoroughly
Wet or moist environments promote yeast growth. So dry those vaginal area thoroughly after swimming or after you had taken a shower. Especially after swimming, remove your swimsuit quickly and wash yourself clean with running water. If you are into physical exercises, make sure you have a good shower after that. You do not want to leave any room for the yeast to grow.

Select Suitable Type of Clothing
Think you look nice in tight clothing? Well think again! A tight, moist environment greatly increases the chance of yeast growth. Stay away from tight jeans, materials made of synthetic such as polyester. Instead wear cotton based clothing and underwear to let your skin breathe a little better.

A Little Effort Can Go A Long Way
Yeast can actually be transfer from rectum to the vagina and so, after urinating or a bowel movement, wipe yourself clean. However only use white and unscented toilet paper.

Stop Using Scented Products
Avoid using scented pads or tampons and also avoid bubble baths or scented feminine sprays, color toilet paper, deodorant. These can be irritating to the vagina.

Be Selective In Your Sugary Food
Watch out your sugar intake. Yeast grows faster with a higher level of sugar in your body. However, eat more yogurt as it contains friendly bacteria such as lactobacillus acidophilus (I have no idea what it means), which prevents yeast infection. At the end of the day, switch to yogurt.

If you take the above steps to prevent the growth of yeast, curing vaginal yeast infection can be a lot easier as opposed to not doing anything about it and leave it as it is. Do you know that up to 40% of yeast infection sufferers in America does nothing to prevent and hence do nothing to cure their yeast infection? Leaving it untreated can be potentially very dangerous. Taking small positive steps to prevent it will help you cure yeast infections.

This is an excerpt from this link, http://www.goaskalice.columbia.edu/1002.html

"Research has shown that daily ingestion of yogurt containing the bacterium Lactobacillus acidophilus helps in the prevention and treatment of candidal vaginitis (a.k.a. yeast infections). How the L. acidophilus in yogurt does this is literally a balancing act.

The human body plays host to lots of different microorganisms, many of which are useful, helping the body take care of its business. Normally, these colonies of critters live in harmonious balance with one another. But sometimes this balance can be disrupted by stress or the use of prescription antibiotics, among other things, causing some of the microorganisms to overpopulate and make a nuisance of themselves. When an imbalance occurs in the vagina, normally occurring colonies of the bacterium Candida albicans can get out of control, leading to the tell-tale symptoms of a yeast infection: whitish discharge, burning and/or itching, and a yeasty odor (similar to beer or bread)."

Basically, you can use yoghurt as one of the treatment method. However, you must remember to consult your doctor before starting any homemade remedy. But then again, can eating too much yoghurt really harm you that much?

First up, the diet portion.

1. Plenty of water. Duh! No brainier

2. Consume more fresh vegetables and fruits

3. Consume like fish, whole grains, organic food, olive oil and nuts

Of course you got to refrain from alcohol, caffeine, fast food, junk food, sugar, margarine, wheat products and white flour products. You need to watch what you are eating as dietary changes are essential in the treatment of yeast infection

Other natural treatment includes,

1. Cranberries. These are often used in treating urinary infections because cranberries are rich in Vitamin C. It also contains substances that prevent bacteria from sticking to the walls of the urinary tract.

2. Garlic. These garlic contains anti-fugal substances that kills off yeast.

3. Teatree oil. It is widely used for yeast infections. What you want to do is to soak a tampon with olive oil and add a few drops of pure tea oil. But such treatment can cause sting if it come in contact with the vulva.

4. Yoghurt. We all knew that yoghurt contains friendly bacteria. You can apply yoghurt directly to the vulva and watch if your symptoms would clear up.
