Yeast Infections. We've all had them, and those who have managed to escape that fresh hell up 'til now, will eventually get them.

These infections have a myriad of causes such as:

  • Wearing tight jeans/pants which do not allow your body to breathe (yes it breathes now...)
  • Wearing undies that are not cotton or an alloy of such in favour of the cotton eg. 5% spandex and 95% cotton. Other fabrics inhibit the air flow to your nether regions and yeast thrives in hot humid conditions; your satin and lace panties may make you feel sexy now but wait til you feel the burn...(had to share this quote: crotch yeasties flourish in non-cotton, tight, or dirty clothes that trap heat and moisture. no doubt Xena, Warrior Princess, gets infections all the time from that leather underwear. - lmao!)
  • Other causes include:

  • Eating foods containing lots of yeast such as bread, pasta (this news broke my heart)
  • Eating sugary foods - apparently yeast has a sweet tooth too
  • Douching - this offsets your natural PH and yeast loovvvess water
  • Antibiotics - they kill the bacteria that makes you sick but they also take a few civilian casualties too - the friendly bacteria that was helping to keep the balance.

  • So how do we vanquish this beast? You could buy a variety of medicines - suppositories, creams or the favoured OTC medication - Diflucan aka Fluconozole. But, rather than spend a ton of cash supporting medical babylon, check your kitchen for a remedy. Garlic is not only effective against vampires, it also drives a stake through yeast! Yogurt and cranberries are not just for breakfast anymore! Check this article out and ignore the few grammar and spelling errors aka netspeak, the advice is pretty good and one of the most comprehensive articles I've found thus far!

    Thank me later ;)

    NB. Just because you don't have to walk around with an epi-pen doesnt mean you don't have food allergies, be careful when trying out these remedies. Also, just because your stomach can take it doesn't mean that your nether regions will like it.

    Remember to keep using the remedy at least one day after the symptoms stop to ensure you really have killed it and it doesn't return for a sequel.

    If your infection persists or despite your best efforts it recurs, see your doctor asap.

    The advice here is best used by women who know their bodies and have been through this before, if you're a first timer, get thee to a doctor forthwith!
