Many women (and men) suffering from yeast infections resort to the remedies found in a drug store: creams, suppositories, and other "medical" remedies. The problem with these is that they tend to help for only a short period of time and then the yeast comes back with a vengeance. In my experience, there are other, more effective ways to combat this evil menace.
A number of medications are available for skin yeast infection in the form of tablets, capsules, creams, and suppositories etc. A popular family of anti-yeast drugs called Azole drugs (ending in the suffix azole) is effective against yeast causing infection of skin. These drugs act by blocking the manufacture of a compound ergosterol, lacking which the yeast cell dies soon. Since ergosterol is not a component of human cells, the drug is not harmful to human cells.
Every three out of four women experience at least one yeast infection during her life; many experience recurrent infections. You can reduce the probability of recurrent attacks by practicing some preventive steps. Always wear white cotton panties. Nylon and Lycra may trap air and create a breeding ground for yeast. Keep the external genital area clean and dry. Avoid antibiotics and steroids, because they destroy the competing bacteria and allow yeast to overgrow. Avoid irritating and perfumed soaps, vaginal sprays. Change tampons and sanitary napkins frequently. After swimming, change quickly into dry clothing instead of sitting in wet bathing suit for prolonged periods. Take antibiotics only as prescribed by a doctor. If diabetic, try to keep tight control over blood sugar levels. Avoid using oral contraceptives if you have a yeast infection. Avoid use of petroleum-based lubricants for vaginal lubrication during sexual intercourse. Try using water-based lubricants.
You wish to get rid of yeast infection permanently, but there are a lot of cases that yeast infection keeps coming back even with the use of prescribed medicines and you find your self using products after products which you thought could bring you permanent relief. Some may recommend boric acid as a remedy and you must be warned that it is a toxic substance and should not be taken as a remedy to get rid of yeast infection because it is very harmful and may cause deaths. If you find yourself searching for a permanent way on how to get rid of yeast infection, you must attack the root cause and not the symptoms. Your yeast infection keeps coming back because you just treated the symptoms and not the root cause and the infection is still there waiting to be triggered again and again.
Physical ailments as well as some health complications may occur if severe cases of Candidiasis develop. Candidiasis can bring discomfort as well as pain to the body if no treatments are applied. There are various treatments that may be used for Candidiasis, however attention as well as knowledge is required to overcome severe yeast infections.
Though yeast infections are very common women illness, men can experience them as well. Though less common, men can become infected with male yeast infections. The main cause is prolonged antibiotic use as antibiotics kill all bacteria, including those that are healthy. Steroids are also a serious cause of male yeast infections.
There are a wide variety of creams, lotions and other products that claim to help in providing yeast infection relief and eliminate the problem. Monistat 7 is a very well known product, as is others such as Vagistat. The main ingredients in these products are designed to break up the fungus and provide relief as soon as possible. So, do they work? Yes, these types of over-the-counter products can help in fighting the infection, but keep in mind that none of these will treat the root cause of yeast infection.
