Yeast Infection Causes

It is important to understand the many ways in which a yeast infection causes women of all ages, severe itching, vaginal soreness, pain during intercourse, burning and sometimes even a disturbing smell. Do you experience recurrent infections which frustrate you to no end? Realizing why one has developed this nasty little infection should be just as important as how to eliminate it.

Otherwise, the sticky bacteria will reestablish itself repeatedly prompting the carrier to pay multiple copays at their friendly neighborhood Walgreens. Let’s examine the ways in which one can develop this destructive and messy bacterium called a yeast infection.

Diet

Consuming an excessive amount of sugar in one’s diet is one of the most common ways in which yeast infection causes horrible pain and discomfort. Yeast needs sugar in order to function. Yeast and glucose attach to each other and ferment producing alcohol. This is what causes the terrible irritation and burning associated with this infection. By eliminating or cutting down on the amount of sugar you consume, yeast will have nothing to attach itself to reducing the chance of infection.

Sex

It may be surprising but many young women have their first yeast infection very soon after becoming sexual active. This seems to occur because the seminal fluid which invades the vaginal area stimulates a bacteria called candida which can be passed from partner to partner sort of like an STD (sexually transmitted disease). Women who have been sexually active for some time can have the same experience as well.

Yeast can be passed from female too female or female too male, so be very careful and clean when taking part in sexual intercourse or when intense friction is involved. Also, if you use other objects during sex make sure they are decontaminated before using them. In other words make sure you stay in the habit of keeping yourself and whatever you use as sanitary as possible.

Tight Clothing

Another way in which a yeast infection causes problems can be attributed to the clothing an individual wears. Wearing those super tight, poorly ventilated non cotton undergarments increases the temperature in the vaginal area trapping moisture. These factors among others are believed to contribute to recurrent infections.

Some feel it’s not always convenient or tasteful to wear loose fitting cotton undergarments all the time. And by no means is it inappropriate to wear these types of clothes. But you should be aware that wearing this type of clothing can sometimes promote yeast infections because of their tight fit.

Always be sure to change your underwear on a regular basis. Walking around in dirty undergarments besides not being high on my top ten hygiene list, provides little yeast goblins food to snack on. Be sure to change and wash your clothes thoroughly, especially if you are suffering from a yeast infection.

Pregnancy

A yeast infection causes many women who are pregnant grave discomfort. High hormone levels during pregnancy often increase starch content on the vaginal walls providing a soft nutrient based breeding area for yeast. The increased estrogen levels produced during pregnancy helps the yeast to better attach itself to the vaginal cells which can cause another well known condition called vaginititis. Because vaginititis symptoms can’t be induced by anything other than yeast it is important not to self-medicate yourself with over the counter medications. Make an appointment with your gynecologist to avoid misdiagnosing yourself.

Antibiotics

Yeast infections often result from the use of antibiotics. Most antibiotics while eliminating bad bacteria from the vaginal area also eliminate normal bacterial cells. These cells aid in the protection of the vaginal wall from spores of wild yeast that can potentially grow into an infection. If you have experienced recurring yeast infections that have occurred after antibiotic use, contact your physician about preventative measures.

How To Experience Relief Within Days

Understanding the many ways in which a yeast infection causes the awful symptoms associated with this fungi is important. But to experience immediate relief is key. A very effective method of quickly treating this infection is to coat a tampon with sugar free yogurt and insert it into the infected area three times a day. Yogurt contains fungi fighting bacteria which is extremely effective at disposing of this bacterium. Although this treatment is very effective in the short term it is not a solution to the problem.

The Solution

To be completely honest there are many treatments available that are very effective at providing temporary relief of yeast infections. But very few provide a long term solution to the problem.
