Yeast Infection Cures

By Faye Finlay


Yeast infection treatments may be through local application of antifungal creams or pessaries such as Clotrimazole or Miconazole or by oral consumption of fluconazole tablets. Oral tablets have side effects like nausea,headache,abdominal discomfort. If you are pregnant,you cannot take oral antifungal tablets. When a woman has candida within her vagina but has no symptoms there is usually no reason to treat. You could possibly self treat using an antifungal cream if you have had a yeast infection before and you are also not pregnant or have got underlying medical illness.For anyone who is pregnant ,you should confer with your doctor first.

If you are using an antifungal cream or suppository,you should not count on using condoms to be a contraceptive method considering that the oil inside the antifungal cream can weaken the latex used to produce the condom. Also,do not use tampons while on treatment,use pads instead.If the genital area is swollen and painful you could sit over warm baths for relief(sitz baths). Do not use soap to clean the vaginal area.Use water instead. Don't rub/scratch the genital area to relieve your itching.

If you self treat,you may miss other infections like bacterial infections and sexually transmitted diseases. When you self treat and you still have symptoms after a week,please visit your doctor. One in five cases of vaginal yeast infections will likely not respond to the typical methods of achieving yeast infection treatments.Your health care provider will attempt to find out information about what cures yeast infections to suit your needs. In case you have pain or fever with your yeast infection you need to see a doctor.

Apart from treating vaginal yeast infections with creams or tablets,you should consume a balanced diet to ensure that your body can protect against infections. Some women eat foods containing lactobacillus to reduce their symptoms but these methods have not been proven to stop infections following antibiotic use. There are several natural treatments like inserting natural yoghurt into the vagina,adding vinegar or sodium bicarbonate to change the acidity of the vagina.Some people have tried impregnating tampons with tea tree oil .Scientific evidence hasn't been found to show that they can work.They aren't tried and tested yeast infection treatments. The male sexual partners of women who may have thrush do not need treatment if they don't have thrush symptoms on their penis e.g redness,itching,soreness.However it has additionally been recognised when a female is treated and her partner is not,the woman may be reinfected through the man.

There is a controversy about whether thrush is sexually transmitted or not.It really is generally not thought to be sexually transmitted as it could happen without necessarily having sexual intercourse,for additional about this,please see my post on "What Causes Yeast Infections".

Finally,I'm going to provide you with a number of situations that will make it required for you to see you doctor for more advice when you have a vaginal yeast infection. These are -If you're pregnant -If you are under 16 or over 60 -If you have abnormal vaginal bleeding -If you have lower abdominal pain -If you have a fever -If you have a smelly discharge -If you've got more than two episodes of thrush within a six month period -If you have ulcers/blisters inside the vagina.(this could be herpes) -If you've had previous sexually transmitted disease -If you have had a previous bad reaction to an anti-thrush cream -If you have had suppression of your immune system.

In the above listed cases you will need to seek your yeast infection treatments advice from your physician.
