How do I stop getting yeast infections ?
Well firstly, if you are taking antiobiotics or something similar, that could be causing them, also if you are over-washing down there, that kills the ‘good’ bacteria that stop the yeast from growing, a simple wash with water, or a very low pH soap is enough. This sounds ridiculous, but apparently bathing in water with fresh lemon juice in it can help, and has worked for people who have never been able to get rid of it, I learnt this in a uni lecture the other day.
Sometimes repeated yeast infections can be due to some lifestyle factors that you can change. It won’t necessarily stop all of them, but it can help. I don’t know what you’ve done in the past, so I’ll list all I know. First you need to wear all cotton undies- and only all cotton, all the time. Not nylon with a cotton patch sewn in the crotch. Nylon holds heat and moisture both- creating an environment favorable to yeast overgrowth. Next, you need to have showers, and not baths. You should not use any sort of perfumed products in the region either- not in your soap, your powder, anything. That includes the toilet paper, by the way. You should use white, unscented toilet paper. It also helps to be sure to clean well after a trip to the toilet. Unscented baby wipes are excellent, or you can also use one of the wet wipes made for adults- which have the advantage of being flushable. Be sure to wipe from front to back, every single time. You should avoid wearing pantyhose, especially under p
Okay, constant yeast infections is not goo…as you know. Have your dr. check you out for something called candida. You can go to www.stevia.com and check out what candida is. Your body is too toxic. You need to eat a lot of green veggies and lay off beef, pork, and milk/dairy. Drink soy milk or goat milk/cheese. Lay off all sugars except for stevia. No beans, potatoes, bread..a huge no no… lay off of processed foods and carbs. Candida is often something that is overlooked. Everyone has a bit of it but an excess amount of it will cause many yeast infections and can lead to more serious health issues. Sugars and starches feed candida big time…so lay off. Also, find a natural health store and find someone that can do a blood analysis….they can tell you in 30 minutes whats wrong with you and what you need to take to get rid of it… I go to a lady from Nature Sunshine and she was able to tell me all of my health issues without me telling her a thing about me other than I want to bet
