Yeast infections do occur, whether it is a baby or a geriatric person that suffers it; male or female; in any part of the body from the mouth, to the genitalia, and everywhere in between where there is a fold of skin that provides warmth and moisture.
Remember that yeast is present in our body and can actually be controlled by the bacteria that we also have in abundance.
However, sometimes, the natural balance of the body is upset and all of these infections cop to the surface.
It may be an overgrowth of bacteria, causing bacterial infections, or it can be an overgrowth of fungus, which results to all sorts of fungal infections, including yeast infections.
There are a lot of cures for yeast infections and its symptoms.
Unfortunately, most of the medicines like Monistat, ant-fungal creams, and -azole creams can only eradicate the immediate symptoms but not the whole infection.
Therefore, there is a great possibility that the yeast infection will recur.
Some researches indicate that the best option to cure yeast infections is through natural home remedies or natural cures that are bought as supplements in health stores; like Threelac.
There are mixed reviews on each particular brand.
Threelac, a few say, may cause side effects that are very uncomfortable and inconvenient for it to be worth the trouble.
However, some defend threelac, saying it is the most potent "killer" of yeast.
Other natural remedies include botanical sprays that are quite effective too, and tablets that are made of natural ingredients like garlic, that have natural antifungal properties.
The advantage of most natural remedies is that rarely does it happen that they cause negative effects to the body.
For instance, apple cider vinegar, garlic tablets and garlic cloves, and oregano oil are all natural remedied for yeast infection and have reportedly not given any side effects to those who tried them.
Since there are different types of candida infections, there are also different ways to apply natural cures and home remedies.
Garlic tablets can be taken orally or can be put inside the vagina to cure genital yeast infection effectively.
If you are suffering from ample yeast infection in the genitalia, you are to take garlic tablets orally, and may opt to press a clove of garlic and apply it to the affected area, usually at the tip of the penis.
Over the counter medications, especially the ones taken orally can cause dizziness, nausea, headaches, and abdominal pains because of their strong acidic ingredients that kill off the fungi in the stomach.
And then, the yeast infection strikes again and you are forced through the same painful process more than once.
With natural cures and home remedies, yeast infection therapy does not need to be painful; in fact, aside from curing yeast infections, you might find yourself healthier in just about all aspects of your body's system.
Nevertheless, if your yeast infection keeps on coming back, even with all the medications and natural remedies, it would be best to consult with a doctor.
Yeast infections that recur may be a sign of other, more serious ailments like prostate cancer, HIV, or diabetes.
