3 out of every 4 persons, or 75% of the population, suffer from some sort of yeast infection at some time in their lives. You may be surprised to learn that it's not just women that can be plagued with yeast infections - anyone can get them - men, women, children, babies, and the elderly.
Tea tree oil: Firstly the tip of the tampon should be lubricated with a lubricant and then tea tree oil should be applied to it and the tampon should be placed on the infected area. This works just like yoghurt.
Eat yogurt. Eating plain unsweetened unprocessed yogurt will help boost the amount of "good" bacteria and flora in your body. And since these bacteria are what helps keep the yeast under control in your body, eating yogurt regularly can help prevent you from getting vaginal yeast infections. Eating yogurt is especially important if you're prescribed an antibiotic to take care of some other illness or infection in your body too, because this is when you'll be most vulnerable to getting a vaginal yeast infection.
Vaginal yeast infections can also occur as a result of injury to the inner vagina, such as after chemotherapy. Also, women with suppressed immune systems (for example, those taking cortisone-related medications such as prednisone) develop vaginal yeast infections more frequently than women with normal immunity.
The vaginal conditions in pregnancy and diabetes offer favorable ground for fungal growth, and also lower the glycogen store in certain vaginal cells. Vaginal pH and sugar content also increase. Such factors increase the risk of yeast infection in women.
The most common way to get rid of a yeast infection is by using over-the-counter lotions or creams that are designed to kill this fungus and get your vaginal environment back to normal again. Frequently used products include Monistat 7, Vagistat and Fernstat.
To avoid vaginal infections you need to be careful about certain things; such as wearing cotton undergarments, using a pad rather than tampons and always keeping healthy hygiene. Also, make sure that you keep your glucose level in check in case you are diabetic!
Stay Dry. It's really important to keep your vaginal area as dry as possible. No hottubs, pools, baths, or excessive showers. Yeast feeds on moisture, so you'll only make it worse!
Eating garlic on a regular basis is the best natural remedy to prevent recurrent yeast infections. Garlic can be applied topically as well to the skin. Garlic will sting and burn slightly when applied to a yeast infection. Garlic's medicinal properties are released when it is crushed or chewed, so it is important to incorporate raw garlic into your diet occasionally. It is also important to crush the garlic immediately before applying it externally.
