I have a good link to help you with treating yeast infections which I will include at the end.)

 

A yeast infection looks like flat red rashes which can occur in various regions of the anatomy:

 

Symptoms of yeast infections:


1) A yeast infection in the genital area in advanced stages can be accompanied by a discharge of a white or yellow mucus - often causing bad odor. Itchiness and rritated skin around the labia, and also stinging/burning during urination.

2) A yeast infection of the throat or mouth resembles a white pimple on a swollen red spot. Mouth and throat yeast infections can be painful, and cause eating and swallowing to be difficult.


3) Yeast infections are also common between the fingers and toes , under the breast , around the anus and on the penis . In these areas, a yeast infection looks like swollen patches of purple or red dry flaky skin that can burn and itch.

 

(It's often underestimated how common male yeast infections are - a large amount of males live with a mild form of yeast infection and fail to get it diagnosed.)

The cause of yeast infections :

Candida is the cause of both female and male yeast infections. It lives with us all our lives but is usually kept under control by our bodies natural defenses.

1) our skin,
2) white cells and antibodies,
3) helper bacteria which live on and inside us,
4) immune system.

When one of these defenses break down we are at risk of succumbing to infections.

 

Some home remedies for yeast infections :

1) Honey is an itch reliever: apply it and keep it on the affected areas for an hour or so - external use only.

2) Oil of Oregano has has a high Carvacol content which has powerful anti-yeasting agent. Keep applying it on the infected areas until the symptoms subside.

3) Yogurt contains Lactobacillus acidophilus. It's a friendly bacteria that kills yeast by producing hydrogen peroxide. Yogurt can be applied internally as well (syringe, frozen yogurt lollies - get creative). Of course eating lots of yogurt also helps!

 

Please note : These home remedies for treating yeast infections can produce slow results, and are only a temporary solution (yeast infections "candida albicans" have a nasty habit of reocurrence) to an underlying cause.

For a permanent, quick and very effective solution I would suggest that you visit treating yeast infections naturally . They have excellent advice on how to treat yeast infections safely, quickly and permanently.

 

I hope that this info helps and gives you a better idea about treating yeast infections.

I wish you all the best and good luck.

Excellent link - I have already signed up at the treating yeast infections naturally website and am very impressed with the e-book so far. It really makes sense.

All the best and thanks again.

Add:
I thought I would give some feedback - especially to others if they stumble upon this question at Yedda.
True to their word at the naturally treating yeast infections website - the very next day all of my yeast infection symptoms have disappeared!
It's difficult to put into words how relieved I am. I have always been a bit ashamed / embarrassed to talk about this, especially with doctors, so I have been living with a yeast infection for a few years now...
I know, I'm crazy not to have gotten help before, but I am so happy now I can cry.
Thanks again earlybird for the excellent advice.

(P.S. I am closing the treating yeast infections question now while we have some great info on the page and before the link Spammers arrive.)

I just happened to stumble upon this answer by earlybird - I'm glad I did, so much relates to me (unfortunately),  great link so far I'm very impressed with the website - treating yeast infections naturally - even if the web page doesn't display 100% correct, but perhaps it's just my browser.

Thanks again for the info on treating yeast infections.

Something is wrong, I used to get help for treating yeast infections all the time. I changed my life style, stopped smoking and drinking every other day and it stopped. Using plain white yogurt, no flavor or anything, just plain white yogurt with active will also help.

You'll know the symptoms of yeast infection will be icky, thick, off-white discharge. It's possible the infection is getting worse.

Go to the doctor or gyneacologist and ask for a prescription for Diflucanor Flucanozole. I tried various creams and foams and NOTHING helped.

The yeast infection is caused by a pH imbalance, which makes your discharge very acidic, which is why it gets all itchy. The pill changes the chemistry and ENDS it - more than just the minor relief that Vagisil or Monistat offers.

I have had an ongoing yeast infection for over a year. The symptoms disappear and the infection goes away but it always returns.

Try not to have sex until your partner has been treated for an infection as well - if you don't use a condom.

Hi,

you can start treating yeast infections by:

- Avoiding sugar as much as possible (yeast live on sugar).
- Eating SUGAR FREE yogurt with live acidophilus cultures, at least two cups every day.
- Eat lots of garlic, which is anti-fungal.
- Apply the SUGAR FREE yogurt to the affected area for a few minutes three times every day.
- Apply crushed garlic (as pasty as you can make it) to the affected area for a few minutes, three times per day.

Following the above home remedies should have you all cured within a week. If you are still not better in a week, time to see the doctor. Best of luck!
