How To Cure Yeast Infection

If you are reading this article then you are probably having problems with a yeast infection

, there are many ways to manage this. I contracted a yeast infection from my girlfriend during the early stages of the occurrence and was lucky enough to cure my symptoms with prescribed medicine.

Firstly, consulting your doctor on a regular basis can save you a lot of unneeded stress, and prevent infections from recurring, using any sort of medication to aid your infection can be dangerous and consulting your doctor would be highly suggested.

Since the majority of cases are found in pregnant women, I will focus this article on curing vaginal yeast infections. Infections that occur with women should be first assisted with proper cleaning and making sure that you know all of your allergic reactions properly. Infections are commonly contracted when there is an increase in pH, excess heat and moisture, allergic reactions, an advance in sugar levels, hormonal fluxes, and changes in the current population of good and bad bacteria in the vagina.

Since yeast infection is caused by Candida albicans, it is very important to approach curing your infection correctly and to watch out for an increase of yeast bacteria. Since there are both good and bad bacteria that confine within a woman's vagina, using antibiotics can be dangerous, causing not only the bad bacteria in the vagina to be eliminated, but the good bacteria as well, this can cause recurring infections and prevent the infection from properly curing.

Here are a few helpful tips to help cure or manage your infection:

1. Avoid wearing panty hose, leather, and nylon underwear.

2. Wearing a skirt with no underwear or tights would be your best bet, and wearing only cotton underwear is safe as well.

3. If your infection is minor allow time to see if the infection clears up, using home remedies can be dangerous without approval of a doctor.

4. Change out of your swimsuit immediately after swimming and avoid deodorant tampons, feminine sprays, and even certain detergents and fabric softeners. Using eco friendly detergent would be suggested as to not set off any allergic reactions.

5. Avoid scented toilet paper and douches.

6. If you are using oils or antibiotics to help your infection do not rely on condoms for birth control, usually oils and antibiotic creams can cause latex to deteriorate and can cause bigger problems for yeast sufferers.

7. And remember to have a healthy diet, a weakened immune system will not allow the body to properly recover.

Purchasing an e-book is also a great idea, I purchased "Yeast Infection No More" from Linda Allen. This e-book did wonders for my girlfriend. The book has a lot of information in it, and covers a lot of different types of yeast infection, more importantly it was able to cure my girlfriend 3 weeks faster than the suggested approach provided by her doctor.

I have written a review on the product going into more detail if you would like to read further
