Yeast Infection Relief

By Chris Lanson

There are small minute microorganisms that are present inside the human body. These microorganisms are in small numbers, however due to certain reasons the number of these microorganisms increases, and hence cause infection. The microorganism is called yeast and the infection is called yeast infection. Yeast Infection can be due to many reasons like irregular menstrual cycle, weak immune system, stressful life style, etc. Yeast Infection can also be due to other diseases like diabetes. Excess intake of medicine, antibiotics, and birth controlling pills are other yeast infection causes.

Yeast infection is like a ghost waiting to scare young and older women when their body becomes out of balance due to stress, dubious partners, hormonal changes and/or immune system weakness. A few women will elude this voracious monster but unfortunately most will be frightened at least twice in their life and others will live with a chronic reoccurrence of yeast infection.

Person suffering from yeast infection should take nutritious food, lots of water, curd, etc. Patient should strictly avoid oily and fatty foods, sugar, sweets, and chocolates, etc. All these foods are really unhealthy as it nourishes the microorganism and hence hampers in the treatment. Balanced diet helps in keeping you healthy and disease free. A healthy diet is one which has everything from cereals to whole grain wheat, to green leafy vegetables and fruits.

It was assumed in early days that women only are infected from yeast infection. This, however, is not true studies have shown that yeast infection can attack both men as well as women. The main reasons behind this infectious disease are irregular menstrual cycle, weak immune system, stressful life style, etc. Yeast Infection can also be due to other diseases like diabetes. Excess intake of medicine, antibiotics, and birth controlling pills are other yeast infection causes.

Patient suffering from yeast infection should not use deodorants or strong perfumes, as this will worsen the infection and will become much painful. Wear comfortable clothes, avoid acrylic undergarments. Cotton clothes and cotton undergarments are the best choice. Another important thing apart from wearing cotton clothes is wear properly washed, dry clothes. It is a very wrong practice of wearing a wet towel for long time. Dry your body properly, and wear clean and dry clothes. Also avoid too much of cosmetics and fragranced ointments, cream, etc., especially, near the genitals or other sensitive areas. - 16004
