How to Get Rid of a Yeast Infection
If you're looking for information on getting rid of male yeast infections, go here: How to Get Rid of Male Yeast Infections.1. What is a Yeast Infection?
A yeast infection is a very unpleasant condition that many women deal with daily. In fact, 75% of all women will have one in their lifetime, while 50% will have multiple yeast infections.
What Are the Symptoms of a Yeast Infection?
The signs and symptons of a yeast infection include itching and redness around the outer vagina (vulva), soreness, rash, and/or burning especially while urinating. Also, a cottage-cheese like discharge may be present. While these are the symptoms of a yeast infection, not all women or girls will experience all of them, but if severe itching is not present then you may be suffering from some other condition - see your doctor immediately.2. Yeast Infection Causes and Prevention
A yeast infection is caused by the fungus Candida albicans which naturally occurs inside your body. Because of the naturally acidic environment of the vagina, the number of yeast is controlled. However, if the pH level drops, the prevalence of yeast may rise, causing a vaginal yeast infection.What causes a vaginal yeast infection and how can it be prevented?
There are lots of things that can trigger a yeast infection, some of the most common being:- Antibiotics (the leading cause of vaginal yeast infections)
- Period (menstruation)
- Contraceptives (birth control pills and condoms – nonoxynol-9 or a latex allergy)
- Steroids (often found in antibiotics)
- Pregnancy/Hormonal changes
- Diabetes
- Clothing that is too tight, non-cotton, dirty (traps heat and moisture)
- Sexual transmission
- Weakened immune system
- People with weakened immune systems are also more susceptible to thrush (Learn how to get rid of thrush), a yeast infection in the mouth with symptoms including white, creamy patches in the on the tongue, in the throat or mouth.
- Allergic reactions to chemicals such as dyes, perfumes and inks.
Here are some tips for women to prevent the onset of a yeast infection:
- Wear natural-fiber clothing and underwear with a cotton lining.
Don’t wear tight clothing such as panty hose, tights, leggings, nylon underwear, and tight jeans.- If you are sexually active always use a condom.
- Don’t stay wet after bathing or swimming and don't stay in a wet swimsuit for long periods of time.
- Use feminine sprays or deodorants sparingly - especially if experiencing symptoms.

I have used plain yogurt before, when it was a time i could not get a hold of my doctor…..I also used it in combination with a Diflucan/ Fluconzole for generic…it does work and def. helps provide instant relief even though it is kind of messy and some would say gross.
Has any one heard of using yogurt to cure their yeast infection????
I hear this works, I haven’t tried it…
One site that i did find that seems to have many terrific reviews is Linda Allen’s book…
Maybe some people can let me know what they think???
It looks like a natural cure, and it looks like it is safe for both men and women…
