Have you been suffering from this infection for some time? Still figuring out how to get rid of yeast infection once and for all? Are there remedies that actually cure this condition permanently?
Like all other ailments, this infection can also be removed permanently if you are able to treat the root cause of the infection. Over-the-counter medications and treatments simply treat the symptoms of the infection, not its causes. Therefore, these only provide a temporary cure for the infection.
How to get rid of the root cause of the infection?
This infection occurs due to the overgrowth of Candida albicans. If you follow a healthy diet and lifestyle that always controls the levels of this fungus, the infection will never set in. Some preventive measures to stay away from this infection include
** Wash underwear in lukewarm water and dry completely before wearing. Bathe twice a day and wash the vaginal area with running water.
** Keep your groin and vaginal area free of moisture as much as possible. Don’t let sweat build up. Trim your pubic hair short if necessary.
** Limit your intake of sugar and alcohol as yeast thrives on these.
** Wear loose clothing so there is adequate air circulation in your vaginal area. When you wear tight clothing, you sweat more, thus creating an ideal environment for yeast to grow and multiply.
How to get rid of yeast infection if you already have it?
If you already have this infection, you can make use of home remedies to get rid of your symptoms. A very effective home cure is to add a few tablespoons of vinegar to your bath water and soak in it for 20 minutes. This remedy will restore the pH balance of your vagina and discourage the growth of Candida albicans responsible for the infection.
