What it is?
Vaginal yeast infection is one of the most common female genital issues. A yeast infection, known as candidiasis, usually lives in warm, moist parts of the body, such as the mouth and moist areas of skin. A vaginal yeast infection indicates that a large number of yeast cells are growing in the vagina. Yeast infections can happen to any women and generally not considered sexually transmitted infections. A doctor can’t tell you how you got a yeast infection, but will be able to recognize and treat it.
What causes it?
Taking high number of antibiotics can disrupt the balance between germs in the vagina by decreasing the number of protective bacteria, hence causing infection.
Stress and Pregnancy.
Intake of birth control pills and steroids.
Using scented sanitary products.
High blood sugar level (Diabetes).
What are the symptoms?
Labial itching or burning sensation in the vagina.
Inflammation and redness of the vulva.
Abnormal vaginal discharge- a thick, white in color and odorless.
Pain during urination and intercourse.
How can it be prevented?
Your clothing plays a crucial role in the prevention of yeast infection. Yeast infection grows best in a warm, moist environment and to prevent them say good-bye to wet bathing suits, tight jeans, and stretchy exercise gear. Switch to cotton underwear and loose-fitting slacks. Additionally, avoid someone else's antibiotics if you think you have an infection. Keep your blood sugar levels under control.
What is the best treatment?
If you have a vaginal yeast infection, a visit to the doctor or gynecologist is mandatory. However, treatment is very simple. Your doctor will prescribe a pill or a cream, tablet, or suppository to put in the vagina. You can also purchase over the counter medication like miconazole, clotrimazole, tioconazole and butoconazole. If you suffer from regular vaginal yeast infections, you may require medication up to 2 weeks, clotrimazole vaginal suppository, or fluconazole pill every week.
