subject: Home Remedies For Male Yeast Infections - Safe, Simple, and Effective by:Matthew W. Lee [print this page] Most people would associate yeast infections with women, and it is true that typically women are the ones who get yeast infections. But that does not make men immune to the disease. In fact, 70% of the population -- notice that it says population and not just women -- gets yeast infections at least once in their lifetime. So now you have the unfortunate luck of getting a yeast infection. Your first thought was probably to go out and find some over-the-counter drug to treat the infection. But why go straight for the drugs when there are home remedies that can treat the infection just the same or even better?
What's so great about home remedies anyway? Well, home remedies are safe for the body and it can save a lot of money. Practices can be repeated whereas drugs need to be repurchased. Home remedies put you in charge of your own health and it leaves your body healthier than before. And have I mentioned that home remedies are cheaper than medication?
Yogurt is by far the best home remedy that even doctors recommend it. The reason why yogurt is so effective is because there are certain types of yogurt that contains a natural source of Lactobacilus Acidophilus. In other words, yogurt has a type of friendly bacteria that helps fight off yeast infections. The bacteria found in yogurt is also found in the body, so giving your body an extra dose of helpful bacteria can help regulate your system again.
Let it be known that not only can yogurt be eaten; it can also be applied directly to the source of irritation. Once applied on the skin, the itch will feel sooth instantly. If you are applying it directly, you should apply it on a small area and see how your skin reacts to it. Every body experiences different reactions to different types of treatments. And, it would be wise to buy plain non-flavored yogurt with no added sugar.
Now if you happen to be lactose intolerant, you can still get the natural bacteria in tablets, capsules or liquids. It works the same as yogurt and can be either taken orally or applied directly.
Although taking drugs might seem like an easier idea, it can come with side effects. So to avoid all that and put your body back into a healthy state, home remedies for yeast infections is a safe and effective way to go.
