subject: Vaginal Burning & its causes [print this page] Vaginal burning is, of course, a feeling of heat, rawness, and discomfort in the vaginal area. This can include the vulva, the labia, and the vagina itself. There are many causes of vaginal burning. Some of these reasons require medical attention and some of them just require understanding.Vaginal Burning can be said to be caused by the existence or surplus growth of yeast cells, bacteria, or viruses. Any vaginal infection may arise and keep on arising when there is an alteration in the regular fit of organisms in the vagina. The most usually known kinds of vaginal burning include the Candida vulvovaginitis which is responsible for occurrences of yeast infections.Although those natural treatments can be quite effective they are also quite messy and they can be as discomfiting as the vaginal burning or the itching. The last thing you want to do is to think about the possibility of having yogurt dripping or the garlic slipping out, this could be quite embarrassing don't you think?
Infection is brought about by bacteria that breed at the opening of the urethra and start to propagate. Of course this is not the only reason for the discomfort. Sexually transmitted diseases can also be accountable for the same symptoms.Soothing the affected area is really important. One good way to do this is to add a couple of cups of cider vinegar to a warm shallow bath. This can help to neutralise the condition and give some relief. Very often, you might be aggravating the condition by using perfumed products around the area and overwashing.There are some things women can also do at home to ease the situation. The first is coating the vagina with yogurt. This can be a bit messy, especially if it drips. The yogurt offers a cooling sensation, but it restricts mobility, especially because most women don't want to risk an embarrassing situation. The next best thing is a garlic vaginal suppository. It's exactly what it sounds like. You insert a clove of garlic in your vagina. This is a tried and tested method by the way. Sometimes a burning vagina is a sign of an STD. Symptoms of STDs vary widely because there are so many different kinds, but some common ones are itching, swelling, an unpleasant smell, and a change in discharge. Yellowish or greenish gray discharge in particular points to a sex-related infection. Regular STD testing will help decrease your chances of experience unpleasant STD symptoms.All these cures will provide much needed pain relief and soothing. These along with a dietary change can permanently cure the root cause of a yeast infection and dramatically improve the overall quality of your life naturally without prescription medication and without side effects.
