By
Cristina Chase
What is a vaginal
yeast infection?
It is an infection of the vagina
caused by an overgrowth of fungus (yeast) called
Candida albicans. Yeast igenerally exists in the
vagina at normal levels but when too much yeast
grows it develops into an infection.
What are the symptoms
of a vaginal yeast infection?
It could be a combination of any of
the following: Itching in and around the vagina,
burning, redness and swelling of the vulva (the area
around the vagina). Pain during urination, during
sexual intimacy with a partner, a thick, white
cheese like discharge and vaginal odour.
What causes a vaginal
yeast infection?
It can be brought on by a number of
things: stress, illness, a weak immune system,
antibiotics, birth control pills or diabetes,
steroids, to name just of a few of the main causes.
How can I cure the
yeast infection?
Luckily yeast infections can be
easily treated through creams, prescribed pills,
suppositories that are inserted into the vagina or
natural remedies such as "live" yoghurt, apple cider
vinegar, tea tree oil and garlic to name just a few
of the main natural cures.
To avoid getting repeat vaginal yeast
infections you can use natural remedies. These help
kill the root cause of the problem which stops the
yeast from developing into an infection. The
infection could be treated in 2 - 7 days depending
on the severity of the infection. It's best to treat
the infection early on otherwise it can take longer
to treat it.
