At a child-bearing age of a woman, acidity changes occur in the vaginal flora. And during times when menstruation is approaching or a woman is pregnant, she undergoes hormonal changes. All these changes may cause yeast infection, especially at times when her body\’s immune system is low, particularly when antibiotics or steroids are used inappropriately.
Yeast infection is usually caused by Candida Albicans, hormonal imbalance, and frequent exposure of the vagina to semen that causes acidic imbalance.
To avoid being infected, it is important for women to be aware of where specifically can the infection be obtained. There are several: One is from wearing tight jeans because wearing such clothes causes the groin to develop moisture, which in turn causes the infection. The other one is from the very same product that a woman uses to clean her vagina.
Though it is good to use immediate medications, you can also try homemade remedies. Aside from the practical reasons, they have fewer side-effects. And the effect can last long since these remedies can be of everyday use. Also, these remedies have been proven to be effective from generations to generations.
Apple cider vinegar can be used as an effective homemade remedy. Try diluting it with water and daub it daily to the areas infected. To avoid irritation and itchiness, you can add up garlic. Another one is by mixing olive extract, grapefruit seed extract and a water.
You can also soak a tampon into a curd and put it in the area infected 2-3 times a day. This is considered one of the best homemade remedies for the unhealthy yeast bacteria that caused the infection will then be replaced by the healthy bacteria present in curds. That\’s why including curds in your daily diet may prevent you from having yeast infection. So, whether infected or not, you should drink at least two glasses of buttermilk a day.
