Every woman has faced the situation where she has had yeast infection one or more times. It is characterized by itching, irritation and discharge in the vaginal areas.
Symptoms and causes
There are hundreds of kinds of bacteria and yeast in the vagina, but only when the balance is disrupted do you end up getting an infection. Symptoms include itching on the inside of the vagina and the outer labia; a burning sensation (during sex or urination); redness and swelling of the vulva; and abnormal vaginal discharge (usually thick and white or yellow).
A woman becomes susceptible to yeast infection due to stress, steroid medications, high sugar diet, and processed foods. It is also triggered by the use of oral contraceptives, hormone replacement, or monthly hormonal fluctuations. Many women face worse symptoms before their periods.
Prevention
Good genital hygiene is the best prevention for a yeast infection. Other ways of preventing a yeast infection are:
Cream treatments
Monistat contains miconazole. Canesten, Clotrimaderm and Clotrimazole all contain clotrimazole. These antifungal creams kill the yeast and are available in cream form. For a mild yeast infection, a course of one to three days is ok. For recurrent infections, longer therapy time is required. Relief from symptoms starts soon but takes three days to rid your body of infection.
