Candida Question #29 Is There A Way To Prevent Vaginal Yeast Infection?

Can a vaginal yeast infection be prevented? What’s the point in treating vaginal infections and overcoming them if you keep getting them back again? How can you stop them? How can you prevent them recurring?

This is question I do get asked from time to time. My reply to that one is try and look and understand the causes of vaginal infections. And a big cause is taking antibiotics, particularly recurring antibiotics.

Some of the causes and things that you may want to address if you want to prevent infections are to wear 100 percent cotton underclothing, look very carefully at tight-fitting clothing that obviously is going to keep a lot more heat and moisture in that particular area. Dry yourself properly and carefully after having a shower or a bath, using a hair dryer is not a stupid idea. Allow your vagina to breathe, so sit back on a chair and don’t cross your legs so much. The other thing is to be careful with sporting events. Make sure you cool and dry your body down after sporting events. Avoid feminine sprays and avoid scented toilet paper and certain types of deodorant tampons.

These are all little hints and tips that will help you from continuing on with a vaginal yeast infection. But the big one, watch out for antibiotics in particular. You’ll find a lot more information about my diet and other ways to prevent vaginal infections in my book, Candida Crusher, and also if you have a look at yeastinfection.org.

Candida Question #28 Causes of Recurring Vaginal Yeast Infection?

In my experience, many women get a recurring infection. If you keep getting a recurring infection, you need to ask yourself, what’s going on? What haven’t I done that I should be doing? Have I addressed the cause or am I just treating a local symptom?

Most all cases can be fully resolved. It’s very important to treat this problem when it’s local and it’s acute rather than letting it get out of hand and wait until it’s severe and chronic. The more you let something go, the harder and longer it is to get on top of it.

It’s important to get checked out by your doctor to make sure you haven’t got diabetes or any underlying problem. So, it’s important for you to have a pelvic exam and a smear test to determine if there are no other issues affecting the vaginal region or the pelvic region.

But if you have been diagnosed by your gynecologist or doctor as having a yeast infection and you can’t get on top of it, I’d like you to read Chapter 5 of my book, Candida Crusher. This particular information has helped thousands of women recover from chronic vaginal infections that they couldn’t get on top of for years. In some cases, it can take as long as nine months or even a year to recover. But I have never found a case yet that can’t fully recover with the right treatment.

So that’s what I think you should do if you have a recurring problem. Get yourself checked out and if it has proven to be a chronic yeast infection, have a good think about my book, and particularly Chapter 5.

Thank you.

Candida Question #27 Signs & Symptoms of Vaginal Yeast Infection

Okay, this is one I hear regularly from women who are concerned with a vaginal irritation. They’re not sure if they have bacterial vaginosis, genital herpes, or a vaginal infection, or even a sexually transmitted disease like Chlamydia.

What you’ll typically find with a vaginal yeast infection is a thick, white discharge or it could just be thinnish, but there’ll still be often a white discharge. There can be intense irritation and redness. There are many symptoms depending on how severe the condition is, but the common ones are the irritation, the itching, it can be an uncomfortable sensation, there can be burning going on with urination and also painful sex. So these are the common ones that you’ll find.

The most likely time you’ll find vaginal irritations having to do with a yeast infection, in my opinion, will be three to four days before the menstrual period. That’s often when they’ll be highlighted or they’ll be worse. Some women also complain of an increase in symptoms after specific foods or alcohol. Generally, there could be a bit of a musty sort of an odor, nowhere near as severe as bacterial vaginosis, which has a fishy brine-like odor and a watery thin dark discharge. So, you won’t really get that with the vaginal infection.

So I hope that answers your question, what are the typical symptoms of a vaginal yeast infection?

Thanks for your question.
