Home Remedies for Vaginal Yeast Infection
Overview
Vaginal yeast infections are common among women. These infections occur when there is an overgrowth of Candida fungus, a type of yeast that's naturally present in small amounts on the body. Normally, vaginal acidity controls yeast levels, but factors like menstruation, pregnancy, diabetes, or birth control pills can disrupt this balance, leading to infection.
Symptoms
Symptoms of a vaginal yeast infection may include:
- Itching and burning in the vaginal area
- Tenderness and sensitivity around the vulva
- Thick, white, odorless discharge
- Burning sensation during urination
- Discomfort during intercourse
Causes
Common triggers for vaginal yeast infections include:
- Lowered immunity
- Antibiotic use
- Stress
- Birth control pills
- Menstrual periods
- Diabetes
Preventative Tips
- Opt for loose-fitting underwear to allow air circulation and avoid extended wear of wet clothes.
- Avoid products like deodorant sanitary pads, scented tampons, sprays, and colored toilet paper that may irritate vaginal tissues.
