Now more than ever women have been empowered to protect their own health. Treating and curing yeast infections is no different than treating any other illness. These types of infections occur in up to 70% of all women. What are they and why do they happen? The vagina has naturally occurring bacteria inside of it all the time, infections occur when there is an over growth of this strain of bacteria. It can happen from taking certain types of antibiotics, having your clothing be too tight and even staying in a wet bathing suit for too long.
Home remedies can be very effective, some of these include garlic which can either be eaten or can be crushed and applied topically as a paste or all natural or organic yogurts which can be taken the same way as the yogurt. These are great treatments that are low cost can be used in the privacy of your own home and can be found in your local grocery store. Nothing could be simpler.
Over the counter creams and ointments offer large selections of products that will mainly treat the symptoms of your infection. These can either be topical treatments or some are inserted directly into the vagina. The good news here is that as long as you follow the instructions on the product you should experience relief right away.
The last option that we are going to look at is seeing you Doctor. This is especially important if you have never received a formal diagnosis from your physician. It is always recommended that you consult your doctor before you start any treatment plan since your doctor will know which medication is going to work the best for you.
