Vaginal yeast infections are one of the most common infections in women. Almost every woman experiences it at least once in lifetime while a few get recurrent infections every now and then. Vaginal yeast infection is also known as vaginal candidiasis, vulvovaginal candidiasis and genital candidiasis.

Vaginal yeast infection symptoms

Some of the vaginal yeast infection symptoms include burning sensation in vaginal area, vaginal itching, redness, odor and irritation in and around vagina. Sometimes there may also be a swelling in vulva. Women with vaginal yeast infection may also have small red bumps which are called vaginal yeast infection bumps.

Vaginal yeast infection bumps are caused not exactly because of infection but because of the blockage of vaginal glands due to the infection. Due to the swelling in the urinary opening caused due to the vaginal yeast infection, women also experience frequent and painful urination. Some women also experience vaginal yeast infection discharge. The vaginal yeast infection discharge is white and thick discharge. Women with vaginal infection also experience pain during sexual intercourse.

Toddlers are also prone to vaginal yeast infections. Toddler vaginal yeast infections are more common can one can think of. The major cause for toddler vaginal yeast infections is wet diapers and improper hygiene in private areas. To avoid toddler vaginal yeast infection in little girls, it is important to maintain proper sanitation.

Cause of vaginal yeast infections

The major cause of vaginal yeast infections is the fungus or yeast known as candida albicans. This is a common type of fungus which is present in small quantities in areas like mouth, vagina, skin and digestive tract. When present in small quantities, it doesn’t cause any harm or vaginal yeast infection. But sometimes due to conditions which favor the growth of this yeast, it multiplies. This increases the number of candida albicans and hence causes vaginal yeast infection.

The factors which favor the growth of the vaginal yeast include use of antibiotics to treat other conditions, pregnancy, steroid use, diabetes, obesity etc. HIV infection also causes chronic or regular vaginal yeast infection. Although, not all people with chronic vaginal infection suffer from HIV, it is better that such people get tested of HIV.

To test if a person has vaginal yeast infection, a pelvic examination is conducted. The doctor or a gynaec will check to see if there is a swelling of skin around vulva, cervix or in vagina. Sometimes vaginal wall may also have dry white patches. Vaginal discharge is observed through microscope to check for candida.

Home remedy for vaginal yeast infection

Vaginal Yeast Infection is not a serious threat to health or life.  Sometime simple infections can be treated at home with vaginal yeast infection home remedies. There are a number of vaginal yeast infection home remedies that can cure vaginal yeast infections. Yogurt is found to possess useful bacteria called lactobacillus acidophiles that treat vaginal yeast infections by blocking the growth of yeast.

Hence eating it or inserting a tampon dipped into yogurt into vagina twice daily during infection can be helpful. Garlic is also used as a vaginal yeast infection home remedy.

Garlic is peeled and wrapped into cheese cloth and tied with a dental floss. This is made like a tampon and inserted into vagina and left for several hours or overnight for severe infection. Application of diluted tea tree oil is also used in treating vaginal yeast infection. Some over the counter medications are also available that cure vaginal yeast infections. Oral supplements of acidophiles for vaginal yeast infections can be easily obtained from most of medical stores.

Seek medical help for chronic yeast infection

Sometimes, when the symptoms are severe enough seeking medical help becomes essential to cure vaginal yeast infections. This also helps in finding out if it is a vaginal yeast infection or some other disease or problem which is causing the infection. Seeing a doctor is extremely important when one has a yellowish discharge, foul odor, blood discharge, pain in stomach or back, fever, increased urination, vomiting etc.

One must also seek medical help when not fully relieved of the vaginal yeast infection or when suffering from chronic vaginal yeast infection. Sometimes the chronic yeast infections may indicate some serious underlying disease and hence must be ruled out.

Preventive measures for vaginal yeast

Women must also take care to prevent vaginal yeast infections. This can be done by keeping the vaginal area clean and dry, adding curd to the daily diet, avoiding the use of hygiene sprays, wearing cotton underwear instead of silk or nylon, using pads instead of tampons and keeping the blood sugar levels under control.

Fed up with everything. Don’t give up!!!!! Here is the right solution:

If you’ve tried  Yogurt (oral and vaginal), coconut oil (seems to give you some relief), acidophilus (does nothing), grapefruit seed extract (does nothing), cranberry juice (nothing), avc or h202 tampons (works momentarily and then reverts back )…

Address the root cause of the problem rather than its symptoms for permanent cure:

Over the counter medications can control the infection but cannot completely eliminate the disease. Combating this frustrating and embarrassing problem requires  a holistic approach which includes  complete dietary and life style changes as  guided by  Linda Allen in her “Yeast Infection No More” e-book.
