The Treatment Of Recurrent Yeast Infection
Recurrent yeast infection may be the source of
considerable unwanted annoyance and symptoms include vaginal discharge
as well as vulvar itching and burning that may happen to the person at
least four, if not more, times a year. Recurrent yeast infection can be
very irritating. To diagnose the problem, the doctor may confirm seeing
yeast on a wet prep of the vagina or through growth of Candida yeast
species on culture. These methods need to be performed for many
recurrent occurrences in a row or else the condition may easily become
an irritant vaginitis that does not respond to anti-yeast treatment.
The risk factors involved in recurrent yeast infection could be diabetes
and atypical glucose tolerance or even insulin resistance. There is also
another factor that comes into play when recurrent yeast infection is to
be treated and that is that drug resistance of Candida yeast strains
remains effective for a few years rather than decades. This, however,
does not mean that drug resistance will not play a role in recurrent
yeast infection because as high as 10% of recurrent yeast infections may
be caused by different yeast strains.
The best treatment for recurrent yeast infection is Butoconazole because
this treatment is readily available without prescription and is a good
agent for use against chronic recurrences. No doubt, it is believed that
as many as 75% of women may have experienced yeast infection at some
point of time in their lives but only as few as 5% have had the
misfortune of having recurrent yeast infections. To avoid getting
recurrent yeast infection a person needs to control his or her diet
which is a very important contributing factor in recurrent yeast
infections.
The need to treat the digestive tract is very important, as it is this
area which can re-infect the vagina in case it is left untreated. The
best diet to be used to avoid recurrent yeast infection consists of
fresh vegetables and fruits, fish and poultry, flax seed oil, other
essential fatty acids, drinking lots of fresh water, whole grains as
well as Vitaklenz. In addition, one should avoid alcohol, animal fats,
caffeine, dairy products as well as fast and junk foods, sugar, wheat
products as well as white flour products.
One may also take suppository treatment to treat recurrent yeast
infections and this involves inserting Boric Acid suppositories twice
daily and repeating it for two to four weeks, according to the severity
of the infection. In addition, it has also been found that cranberries
are useful in treating urinary tract infections because they are rich in
Vitamin C, contain substances that prevent bacteria from clinging to the
urinary tracts’ walls and help to lower the pH of the urine thus helping
to combat yeast infections.
