A healthy person produces positive bacteria that normally keeps candida and other negative fungi under control. But when your body is no longer in balance or is facing undue stress from anxiety or illness, a vaginal yeast infection can occur.
There are a number of additional factors that may increase your chance of acquiring a yeast infection. If you regularly take estrogen based contraceptives or use antibiotics you will have a greater chance of yeast infections. Also, the use of IUDs, spounges, and diaphragms also increase your odds of yeast infections. Women who are pregnant, have immuno-suppression conditions, or diabetes will also suffer a higher risk of acquiring yeast infections.
If you have a yeast infection, you will most like feel itching and/or soreness in the vagina. Many women will feel pain or burning during urination or intercourse. Often women will have a thick, white discharge that resembles the consistency of cottage cheese.
Women who have had a yeast infection all agree, it is something you do not want. Unfortunately, most women who get vaginal yeast infections are very likely to suffer from it again.
Until you address the environmental body factors that are actually welcoming the fungus to return and thrive, you will continue to suffer from vaginal yeast infection. There are some prescription medicines that will rid you of yeast infection and some effective medicines that address the symptoms, but they will not change your body's chemistry that actually brought it upon in the first place.
Do you homework and find out how to stay healthy and produce an environment within that will no longer be succeptable to vaginal yeast infection.
