Vaginitis is a common infection among women. Vaginitis is simply put as the inflammation of the vagina.
Vaginitis can come about by a number of causes and it can also take on several forms. Vaginitis often ensues when ones vaginal bacteria isnt able to destroy harmful pathogens.
The most common form of vaginitis is yeast infections. Yeast infections are caused by the colonization of Candida albicans in ones vagina. Most women will get yeast infections at least one in their life. Usually people who have a compromised immune system will be more likely to develop yeast infections.
In order for you to stay clear of yeast infections, you have to make sure that the normal flora (the bacteria present in your vagina that protects it from harmful pathogens) are sufficient in number to prevent the overgrowth of pathogens like Candida albicans. Vaginal contraceptives, feminine washes and tight fitting jeans can increase your susceptibility towards developing yeast infections.
The only consolation that you have upon knowing that you have a yeast infection is the fact that it isnt a sexually transmitted disease. There are several signs and symptoms that you will encounter with the disease. First, you are going to feel an itching to burning sensation in your vagina, accompanied by your vulva becoming swollen and having a white vaginal discharge.
You do not have to go to the pharmacy because you only need to pick a natural cure for yeast infection. One suggestion that will not just help you combat yeast infections but make you feel good inside as well is eating natural yogurt. Natural yogurt contain Bacillus acidophilus bacteria that can destroy yeast.
But if you want to stay away from yeast infections even before you encounter them you can always dab a little dilute cider vinegar on your genitalia. Or have some olive lead and grapefruit seed extract drinks.
If you find this to tiresome, you can drink extracts of olive lead and grapefruit seed. You can also fill up on cranberry juice.
