There have been so many times in my life when I wondered how to finally take control of my yeast infections. Well, while I did not find a magic cure; I have come across many helpful tips and tricks that have ultimately kept my yeast infections from returning. I know that you are wondering how I accomplished this. It was as simple as making a few lifestyle changes. Let’s talk about of few of the ones that I have found so far; but first to prevent reoccurring yeast infections I found that you should always wear clothes that are made from a breathable material, garments that are not tight and finally, always change out of a wet bathing suit as quickly as possible. Here are a few more things that I have learned along the way.
Any time that you have an active yeast infection you will need to stay away from heavily processes foods, breads and temporarily from fruits too. This is because these foods in particular are filled with sugars and sugar will feed yeast and cause further growth.
Yogurt is fantastic for treating yeast infections; not just internally but externally too. Externally you can just rub some on the area that is especially irritated. For internal use, dip a tampon into some plain yogurt and insert it into the vagina for a short time. Let me also say here that the type of yogurt that you use is very important. You should only be using one hundred percent natural and also all organic yogurts that is sugar free.
If you are looking for a cost effective but highly efficient product then you will want to consider chickweed ointment. This product can be found in your local health food store as a posed to your local grocery store.
Before you consider a home remedy you should always consult with your doctor first. You should also go to see your physician if you have never been formally diagnosed with a yeast infection as many times illnesses can mimic each other and if certain ones are left untreated, you could become very ill.
