Vaginal Yeast Infection - Basic Prevention and Cure

By Salli Smith

In most cases of yeast infection, the most affected part of the body is the vagina. Women that had suffered from yeast infection still have high risk to yeast infection. The reason for this is there is always a probability that yeast infection will reoccur in women that had undergone yeast treatment before. This just implies that to cure yeast infection permanently, one has to practice prevention method for vaginal yeast infection.

In any stage of a woman's life, she will be infected with yeast infection. Some of the root causes of the yeast infection are: lack of essential nutrients, and bad hygiene and habits. Obviously, the immune system is weakened if the amount of essential nutrients that are ingested is minimal. As the immune system is weakened, the vulnerability of women to yeast infection is increased. It is highly recommended that women should include vegetables and fruits in their diet. In addition, supplements should also be taken.

Furthermore, the natural flora of the vagina is disrupted due to bad hygiene. By practicing unhealthy living, the population of fungi responsible for infection is dramatically increased and thus resulting to yeast infection. Women are always recommended to cleanse their vagina properly and regularly.

However, too much of something is always bad for everyone. For instance, if a woman washes her vagina very often, there is always a high possibility that she will get yeast infection. The good bacteria in her vagina are also affected and this causes imbalance in the population of microorganisms.

Sex addiction is also a contributor to the development of yeast infection. Actually, women will get more vulnerable to yeast infection if they made sex with men that are potentially a carrier of the infection. This means you should start practicing having sex with only one partner to prevent yeast infection from attacking you. Safe sex may be acceptable but using oral contraceptives are strictly discouraged.

However, there is still a probability that you will have yeast infection even though you practice healthy living. Hence, you also need to be familiarized with cures and treatments for Candida infection, especially the natural ones. In fact, natural treatment such as yogurt or garlic is highly effective but cheap. Before jumping into the water, you must test the water first. This is the same thing about yeast infection treatment. You have to be diagnosed with yeast infection first before you can use yeast infection treatments. So, talk to a medical professional and ask for a medical check up.
