Infecton
A yeast infection is not something people like to talk about. Ladies frequently have the faulty belief
that they cannot freely discuss the issue and they sometimes fail to seek medical assistance due to
their embarrassment. Keep reading to find out how you can cure a yeast infection.
If you keep getting yeast infections, you might have to reconsider bath products you use. Stay away
from cleaners that have dyes and fragrances. These things can affect the natural balance of bacteria
in the vagina, as well as your natural pH and create an environment for growing yeast.
Hypoallergenic items should be the only type you buy.
Avoid douching. It's supposed to be cleaning you, but it's actually ruining your vaginal flora. By
disrupting natural bacterial balance because of external reasons, you are going to make it more
likely to have a yeast infection. Cleansing the external skin with gentle soap and water should
suffice.
Fancy undergarments may look better, but they may be made of materials that promote yeast
infections. Cotton panties keep the area dry, while other materials hold all of the moisture in. This
creates an environment that yeast can breed in.
Find out how any medications you are using may interact with your birth control. The cream
treatments for yeast infections diminish the effectiveness of some birth control. You should not have
sex until your infection is cured. If you make the decision of not abstaining, make certain to speak to
your doctor about effective birth control.
Enjoy a relaxing bath with a cup or two of cider vinegar poured into the bath. Vinegar works to
restore pH balance and helps starve the yeast. Don't soak your body in the bathtub longer than you
usually do. If you'd rather do a douche, go with 3 tablespoons of cider vinegar for every quart of
water that is warmed.
When taking a bath, avoid bubble bath, bath salts and perfumed soaps, and help prevent the start of
a yeast infection. When you use these products yeast infections become easier to grow, so stay away
from these as much as possible. Also avoid pads and tampons that are scented since they can do this
too.
If you have recurring yeast infections, review what you usually eat. Eating too many foods high in
sugar makes your body a likely place for yeast infections. If your poor dietary habits are causing the
yeast infections, try to switch from sugary foods to nuts, veggies, and fruits.
Clean your vaginal area with a soap made specifically for that area. You have several to choose from.
They help protect your vagina's balance and keep it healthy. Selecting these soaps rather than the
conventional soaps will ensure yeast infection stays away.
If you are sexually active and are suffering with a yeast infection, you may need to have your partner
treated. You could end up passing it back to each other making the cure nearly impossible. Resort to
barrier protection methods to prevent spreading the infection.
Make sure you avoid using any products that are scented around your genitals. These make the pH

2. of your vaginal area good for growing yeast. They can also hide smells that could clue you in that
there is a problem.
Cotton panties keep your nether regions dry and cool. Cotton promotes circulation and helps keep
moisture away from skin. Those that suffer from multiple yeast infections should plan on purchasing
multiple pairs of cotton underwear and put forth an extended effort to keep them nice and clean.
Use panty liners in order to absorb moisture.
Surprisingly, it does not take a lot to understand yeast infections, and by doing so, you will help
yourself greatly in the long run. Life will be simpler if you learn how to treat these infections as they
arise. Keep what you have learned here in mind to get rid of those uncomfortable symptoms.
