It’s said that 80% of woman, at some time in their life, will suffer from a yeast infection, more commonly known as Thrush, or a growth of Candida (yeast cells) in their vagina.
Thrush can be triggered by many factors, including too many sweets and sugars, to a recurring infection caused by taking the birth control pill. Woman who are diabetic are also more prone to the infection, as are woman who have been taking antibiotics or have a low immune system due to some type of disease.
The infection can also be brought on by sex. Too much friction without lubrication can harm the vaginal membranes and safe sex should be practised if you know your partner has Thrush infection.
If you are suffering from Thrush then there are many home treatments available to stop the Candida from multiplying and causing you more pain and discomfort.
To Start, a change in diet is essential. Cutting out foods such as sugars, white flour and rice and overconsumption of alcohol and coffee is important.
A weak immune system can bring on the infection so make sure you get plenty of sleep and cut down on unnecessary pharmaceutical drugs such as steroids and antibiotics .
Altering the PH level in the vagina can trigger a thrush infection so try and use un perfumed washing products when bathing.
Go for Cotton and not Nylon underwear as Cotton enables skin to breathe and so not generate Candida growth and also avoid tight clothing when you have the infection. It’s also important to change your undergarments regularly so they remain dry.
In many cases woman have claimed success in implementing home remedies for getting rid of Thrush. However, if you do suffer from the infection on a regular basis then it is essential that you see a doctor to permanently cure the root of the infection.
