Who am I?
I’m a middle aged woman who had yeast infections. I just put this up to help other women who have the same condition now and in the future.
First off this isn’t going to be a long winded article on everything on yeast infectinos You can find out what it is and how to cure it all over the internet. What I will discuss is what I personally did to fix the problem.
I know this can be pretty embarrassing for most of us. It was for me that’s for sure.
Well get over it! It’s a natural thing that can happen to most anyone if they’re not careful. I did what most of you have done or will do. I Googled what it was to see if I really had it.
What are the symptoms:
A yeast infection causes itching or soreness in the vagina and sometimes causes pain or burning when you urinate or have sex Some women also have a thick, clumpy, white discharge that has no odor and looks like cottage cheese.
These symptoms are more likely to occur during the week before your menstrual period.
One important note that I needed to know was. STD?!!!
A vaginal yeast infection is not considered to be a sexually transmitted infection(STD), since Candida my be present in the normal vagina, and the condition does occor in celibate women. Wheewww!!! 😉
A woman can’t ever be too sure!;) Especially when it comes to guys. Sorry fellas.;(
Can vaginal yeast infections be prevented from happening?
If you practice good genital hygeine, you can help prevent infection
Keep your vaginal area clean Use mild, unscented soap and water. Rinse well
After going to the bathroom, make sure to wipe front to back to avoid spreading yeast or bacteria from your anus to the vagina or urinary tract.
Wear underwear that helps keep your genital area dry and doesn’t hold in warmth and moisture. Use cotton underwear.
Don’t wear tight clothes like panty hose and tight jeans. These will increase body heat and moisture in the genital area.
When you go swimming make sure you change into dry clothes ASAP!
Change your sanitary supplies often.
Don’t use any extra stuff to make it smell nice down there. These items will change th natural balance of good and bad bacteria in your vagina.
What I personally did
I went to the local Walgreen (Pharmacy) and bought a Walgreen’s Clotrimazole 3 Vaginal Cream 3-day Antifungal Treatment.
There is also an option in pill form such as Azo Yeast Infection Symptom Treatment Tablets.
I am not endorsing any particular products but just wanted to get you started with something to look up. Use your own research and judgement.
Something Natural
Actually, I tried the cream and it did work However, I started doing more research into natural solutions. I needed something that would help naturally for the future and something that I could recommend to my daughter if and when that occured in the future.
To find out how I used a natural yeast infection home remedy that worked for me I recommend that you take a look for yourself. Check it out at www.bestyeastinfectionhomeremedy.com
