For the most part, women
get the majority of yeast infections but men can get them as well. People
with yeast infections typically resort to drug store remedies in the
form of creams and suppositories. These remedies are not a cure and
they tend to only work for a short period of time. Then the yeast infection
can come right back.
Other than the products that
are sold on this page, you can also buy a variety of other remedies
at the drug store, a health food shop or even your local grocery store.
For instance, you can spread yogurt on a yeast infection. However, you
have to make sure that you buy plain yogurt and it has to be unsweetened
because yeast feeds on sugar. The ramifications of this should be obvious.
Many people have also had
plenty of success with using garlic. Garlic is a big enemy of yeast!
You actually insert a clove of garlic into the vagina. This is reported
to give some relief. It especially works out well if you happen to have
an Italian boyfriend.
There are those who say that
the pharmaceutical companies actually push to make sure that there is
no cure for a yeast infection. This might just be conspiracy theory
talk but who knows? Until they really start pouring some money into
finding a yeast infection cure, you will have to settle for over the
counter solutions and home remedies. Before you take any action on your
own, be sure to first consult with your doctor.
