It’s said that 80% of woman, at some point in their life, will suffer from a yeast infection, more commonly known as Thrush, or a growth of Candida (yeast cells) in their vagina.
Thrush can be brought on by many factors, including too many sugars and sweets, to a recurring infection caused by taking the birth control pill. Woman who are diabetic are also more susceptible to the infection, as are woman who have been taking antibiotics or have a low immune system due to some kind of disease.
Sex can also bring on the infection. Too much friction without lubrication can harm the vaginal membranes and safe sex should be practised if you know your partner has a yeast infection.
If you are suffering from a yeast infection then there are many home treatments available to stop the Candida from multiplying and causing you more discomfort and pain.
To Start, a change in diet is essential. Cutting out foods such as sugars, white flour and rice and overconsumption of coffee and alcohol is important.
Plenty of sleep and cutting down on unnecessary pharmaceutical drugs, such as steroids and antibiotics, is also important as these lower your immune system making you more prone to the infection .
Changing the PH level in the vagina can bring on a thrush infection so try and use un perfumed washing products when bathing.
Opt for Cotton and not Nylon underwear as Cotton enables skin to breathe and so not generate Candida growth and also avoid tight clothing when suffering from the infection. It’s also important to change your undergarments regularly so they remain dry.
In some cases people have claimed success in implementing home remedies for getting rid of Thrush. However, if you do suffer from the infection on a regular basis then it is important that you see a doctor to permanently cure the cause of the infection.
