As yeast is almost universally present in or on most people, it comes as no surprise that many women have Candida Albicans living comfortably in their vagina. And, most of these women are never aware of it. They never suffer any symptoms and go through life blissfully unaware of the little commensal living in them. It is only when the yeast proliferates and ‘takes over’ the vagina that the problems begin.
Our bodies are not only home to yeasts like Candida, but also to a host of bacteria, many of them beneficial. These beneficial bacteria keep the yeast in line by providing an environment in the vagina that is unsuitable to support a large number of yeast. There are quite a few things that can upset this balance and give the Candida the upper hand over the helpful bacteria. If you have a course of antibiotics, it can often not only kill the bacteria that are causing your ear infection, but also the good ones in your vagina.
Using vaginal douches and sprays can also help cause a yeast infection. These products upset the balance of the vagina and can cause irritation.
Besides antibiotics, birth control pills can also cause a yeast infection as can unprotected sex. Medical conditions such as diabetes and pregnancy will often bring in one of these vaginal infections. The yeast infection can be passed on to your unborn child, and can cause thrush. Drugs that suppress the immune system are another contributor to vaginal yeast infections.
The symptoms of a yeast infection are not usually subtle, and there will be an intense itching, uncomfortable or painful sexual intercourse. The vaginal area is swollen and a thick discharge, the consistency of cottage cheese is usually present. Anyone exhibiting these symptoms should seek medical attention immediately, and refrain from sex until the problem has been dealt with. The yeast infection will often spread from the vagina to the vulva and cause the same sort of itching problems. Seeing a doctor will help you to get the infection under control. While others look for a more holistic approch and a natural cure for yeast infection.
Vaginal yeast infections also have a tendency to recur. You can get them over and over again, regardless of the series of treatments you have taken. However, there are several things you can do to help prevent them. As yeast thrives in a moist environment, pay attention to the sort of underclothes you wear. Make sure they are fairly loose, to allow air circulation, and it is best to choose ones made of cotton – they ‘breathe’ more than do synthetic ones.
It is also advisable to watch your diet to help keep Candida within bounds. It is not a very good idea to eat too many sweets, Candida really loves this. If you do not already eat yogurt every day, it would be a good idea to start. Keeping your body fit and trim are good ways to stay healthy, and will also help prevent future vaginal yeast infections.
