Yeast Infection Natural Cures

Can Monistat prevent a yeast infection? Monistat is an anti fungal cream that is used to cure yeast infections once they have started. If you use it in prevention then you will end up causing a yeast infection, and it will be an infection that is resistant to Monistat so you’ll need to use something more powerful to kill the yeast.

Candida in your vagina

The Candida Albicans yeast that causes yeast infections lives naturally in your vagina. The reason why you’re not always infected is because you also have friendly bacteria living in your vagina that keeps the Candida under control and stops it from mutating into its fungal form.

If you start applying any anti fungal cream to your vagina when you don’t have a yeast infection you’ll upset the natural bacterial balance, and then you’ll cause an infection. The Candida has a built in defense mechanism, and it will mutate because you’re trying to kill it.

When it mutates it will become resistant to the cream, and as you apply more cream the yeast will get stronger.

Recurrent yeast infections

Because a lot of women think they’ll keep their vagina free of yeast by using Monistat as a prevention they end up with recurrent yeast infections that become a struggle to cure. They end up on oral anti fungals that then upset the natural bacterial balance in their intestines, and then they cause an intestinal yeast infection.

An intestinal yeast infection is not something you want to end up with. Your doctor will no longer be able to help you because there is no medical cure for an overgrowth of fungus in the intestines. Anything that can kill fungus in the intestines kills your friendly bacteria as well so your body is left with no natural defense against future infections. This leaves your body open to more infections caused by stronger strains of fungus.

Conclusion

As you can see using an anti fungal over the counter yeast infection cream as a prevention for a yeast infection is not a good idea. The only way to prevent a yeast infection is to keep yourself healthy, and your immune system strong. If you ever take antibiotics for anything take a course of probiotics afterwards to replenish your intestinal friendly bacteria levels.

If your yeast infection cream is burning you then you’re suffering one of the many side effects of the active ingredient in OTC yeast infection treatments. Miconazole is the active anti fungal ingredient that is causing your burning which basically means you’re allergic to the cream, and need to stop using it right away. You may cause damage to the lining of your vagina if you continue using the cream or suppositories.

See your doctor

The next thing you need to do is return to your doctor. Your doctor can then recommend your next course of treatment, and your doctor will also give you a correct diagnosis if you haven’t had one already. Many women go out and buy OTC yeast infection treatments before they have a correct diagnosis, and end up treating another vaginal infection only for it to get worse.

If you are suffering an allergic reaction to creams you’ll probably be prescribed an oral anti fungal drug like Diflucan. These drugs break down the fungus just like a cream, but they’re a lot harsher on your body as your friendly bacteria can be killed by the treatment as well. It will then be up to you if you want to use the prescription or if you want to use your own cure.

Natural yeast infection treatment

Depending on the cause of your yeast infection ( if you know the cause ) you can use a simple, effective natural treatment. All you need to do is dip a tampon in some live, natural, sugar free yogurt, then insert the tampon as you normally would. After a couple of hours you can remove the tampon as leaving it in for too long can make your symptoms worse.

If your yeast infection has been caused by antibiotics use, or the overuse of antibiotics you may have to make more lifestyle changes to successfully rid your body of the Candida yeast. This will include diet changes to starve the yeast in your body.
