Yeast infections are never fun to endure. Yeast infections are caused by fungus found on the skin, and other parts of the body. Women are most likely to have a yeast infection in the vaginal area. Men can also get yeast infection in the genital area. The great thing is that yeast infections can easily be cured. When noticing the first signs of a yeast infection, it is good to seek the attention of a physician if you have never had a yeast infection before. A common therapy for yeast infection is through the use of yogurt because it contains good bacteria such as L. Acidophilus which helps keep the vaginal area in a balanced environment. A few of the symptoms of a yeast infection include a thick, odorless whitish vaginal discharge and uncontrollable itching and burning and a burning sensation when urinating.
Instructions
1. Use yogurt. Apply the yogurt to the affected area and do this twice a day until the infection is gone.
2. Ingest yogurt internally so that it can work through the body and eliminate the bad bacteria from the body.
3. Use distilled vinegar, which is known for being antibacterial and anti-fungal. Fill a bathtub with warm water mixed with 1 cup of vinegar and soak in the vinegar solution for about 15 or 20 twenty minutes. Afterwards, bathe normally in warm water, minus the vinegar. Dry the affected area with an absorbent towel.
4. Try Tree Oil Cream, which can be applied to the affected area and will relieve the yeast infection. Follow the directions on the bottle to ensure that it is used properly.
5. Buy vaginal suppositories, which are available as an over-the-counter medication that comes in different dosages.
6. Try garlic vaginal suppositories by peeling a clove garlic and wrapping a piece of gauze around the garlic. The thin type of gauze is best to use for this process. Fold the gauze in half to form what would look like a tampon. Insert the garlic, vaginal suppository inside the vaginal area. Remove the suppository every 3 or 5 hours and insert a new one. Repeat the process for about 3 to 5 days or until the infection is gone.
