You can find many home remedies to cure a yeast infection naturally.
But it seems that once it goes away, it comes right back.
More than 50 percent of women who have one infection have another.
If you got rid of it, why does it come back? Because you only treated the symptoms - not the cause.
What is the cause of a yeast infection? A candida albicans overgrowth is what we call a yeast infection or candidiasis.
Candida is always present in the body in a certain amount.
We have good bacteria in our bodies that keep the candida from growing out of control.
When those good bacteria are unable to do their job, we end up with a yeast infection.
There are many reasons for the bacteria to lose their fight with the candida albicans fungus.
Sometimes when we take antibiotics, we kill both the good and bad bacteria.
This can easily lead to an candida overgrowth.
There are other reasons why the pH level in our body changes to allow the yeast to grow unchecked.
If you find out what is causing recurring yeast infections in your body, you can take steps to change and prevent a recurrence.
Yeast likes to multiply in warm, moist places.
After swimming or showering make sure you towel off completely.
Wear cotton underwear so your body can breath.
That goes for wearing tight pants also.
Moisture on your body is a breeding ground for the fungus.
It may go against what you see on TV but douching is not good for you.
Using douches, vaginal deodorants or perfumed soaps can change the pH level in your body and allow the fungi to multiply.
Drinking water will help to flush out the toxins in your body and keep your pH level balanced.
Eating foods that have natural anti-fungal properties like yogurt, bananas and garlic are easy ways to cure a yeast infection naturally.
