Help Your Yeast Infections With These Tips
Unlike sprained ankles and migraine headaches, the equally uncomfortable yeast infection is one problem that simply isn't suitable for polite conversation. Its taboo nature means that many people are too embarrassed to seek advice from trusted friends and colleagues. Fortunately, this article is packed with ideas that will help you understand more about yeast infections.
If you find yourself suffering from chronic yeast infections, you might need to avoid foods that are high in yeast and mold. If your body is already having a difficult time warding off yeast, you don't want to aggravate that condition by consuming more yeast and mold. Foods to avoid would include things like dried fruits, melons, peanuts and most cheeses.
To cut down on the number of yeast infections you have, keep the vaginal area clean. Use unscented soap on that area and be sure to pat the area dry when cleansing is complete. The bacteria that causes the infection thrives in moist, dark areas so be sure to keep the area clean and dry.
One tip that you should follow after you go to the bathroom is to always wipe from the front side to the back side to prevent the spread of bacteria. Follow this technique to prevent any spread of bacteria which is one of the main causes of yeast infections forming in your body.
Organic coconut oil has some excellent properties when it comes to fighting a male yeast infection. Medically proven to be an anti-fungal agent, coconut oil can completely cure the yeast infection. The coconut oil will enter the yeast cell and literally make the cell explode from the inside and kill the yeast.
If the natural path is not yielding any results, you may want to take drugs that kill the infections from the inside out such as tetracycline. This drug is fairly strong and can help to reduce both the chances of growth and stop it in its tracks when it rears its ugly head.
When you go to the gym, make sure that your attire is not too tight fitting. When you wear clothes that are too tight, your sweat becomes trapped and can yield excess moisture on your skin. Wear loose fitting clothing so that you are as comfortable as possible while reducing the chances of an infection forming.
There is nothing wrong with wearing silky, sexy panties for occasions, but make sure that you use cotton ones for everyday use. Other materials do not hold moisture away the same way that cotton does and they do not allow the area to breath. Not getting enough air in that area is one of the main causes of yeast infections.
If a routine course of antibiotics almost always leads to a yeast infection for you, ask for a prescription for Diflucan at the same time. This prescription anti-fungal medication can prevent the overgrowth of yeast that often occurs when the bacteria in your system are wiped out. You can also eat extra yogurt while taking antibiotics.
The common garlic clove is a big yeast fighter that is found in almost every kitchen. Use either a garlic tab or a garlic clove inserted right into the vagina for quick relief of yeast infection symptoms. This can be repeated as often as necessary with no side effects at all.
Even though they are highly annoying, yeast infections are also highly treatable. Many drug stores carry over the counter medication to treat yeast infections. If you are not absolutely certain it is a yeast infection, there are tests that can be done in your doctors office to determine if that is in fact what it is.
As mentioned at the start of this piecee, yeast infections are a problem for people of all age groups, especially when one does not know enough about them. However, now that you have read the above article, you should know enough to get rid of yeast infections and be comfortable once again!
