How To Cure Your Yeast Infection: Part 5: What options are there for treating yeast infections?

"How To Cure Your Yeast Infection: Part 5"

Hi again and welcome to lesson five of our course. It's time to talk about all of your options for getting rid of that annoying yeast infection.

Now that you know some of the causes and symptoms of a yeast infection, you're ready to learn the many treatment options available to you. Today, we'll delve into the different ways you can cure your yeast infection: from prescription and Over The Counter (OTC) medication to all-natural methods.

First let's just rewind and recap your visit to the doctor. Going to the gynecologist is the last thing any woman wants to do, but your visit to confirm your suspicions of a yeast infection will prove simple and painless. Your doctor will take a swab from your vagina and send it to the lab to be tested for yeast and other vaginal infections. That's it!

Remember, though, you are the key to a successful diagnosis. Talk openly with your doctor, and share all of your symptoms and concerns even if they seem irrelevant. Your doctor needs the proper information in order to correctly diagnosis, so consider yourself his partner and tell him everything and ask plenty of questions, if you have them.

What treatment options are available?

You've probably seen all of those commercials promoting creams that promise to cure you of your vaginal yeast infections. The problem is 'cure' probably makes you think of 'gone forever', 'permanent', 'never to return', right? Not the case.

Most OTC and prescription creams (which are basically the same as OTC only more powerful) are merely temporary solutions that only treat the outer problem, the symptoms of a yeast infection. They don't treat the underlying problems, the root causes of yeast infections.

Therefore, your yeast infection will clear up quickly, but you'll likely face another one in a week or two.

You can get OTC treatments in the form of a cream (treatment can last one day, three days or ten days depending on which cream you purchase) or suppositories. Prescription treatments generally come in creams, suppositories and pills.

If you decide to use a prescription or OTC, make sure you know all the pros and cons of such a treatment. I discuss this in-depth in my book "I Cured My Yeast Infections... And You Can Too". One thing that might surprise you is prescription treatments could make your infection worse instead of better.

There can be side effects like vaginal burning, stomach upset, loss of appetite, altered taste, diarrhea, nausea, headache or dizziness. Some women have allergic reactions to these drugs resulting in rashes, itching, swelling, dizziness, trouble breathing... the list goes on.

In fact, one of the drugs commonly prescribed for yeast infections - butoconazole - was mentioned in a recent ABC News report. Of all drugs on the market, butoconazole is among the Top Ten drugs reported to the FDA for causing adverse reactions.

Of course, if you don't like using medications that could harm your body in the long run, you'll have plenty of all-natural options to treat your yeast infection.

One good, all-natural treatment that I'm sure you've already heard about is yogurt. Such a natural remedy may be a better choice since not all women can use prescriptions or OTC medications due to age or condition.

While probiotic yogurt is the most commonly known, there are plenty of other natural treatments for yeast infections which in most cases are even more effective. My book includes a list of several proven natural treatments that will give you great results. You'll learn how to use each, including proper dosages where necessary.

But if you want to try yogurt first, here are some tips.

Ensure it is plain and unsweetened yogurt
You also want to make sure the yogurt you choose has both live cultures and acidophilus. (This is absolutely essential.)
Insert the yogurt into your vagina and leave for several hours or even better, overnight.
There are a number of ways you can do this, which are all covered in my book. However one of the more interesting methods is as follows...
Put yogurt into the fingers of a rubber glove and then freeze.
Once you've got your yogurt "suppositories," insert them for some nearly instant relief.
A side benefit of freezing the yogurt is that the coolness will help soothe the heat of the inflammation in the vaginal area

You may have to do this over several days until you notice the symptoms disappearing. That's why some of the other methods in my book are preferred - they act much faster.

In the next article I'll introduce you to my safe and effective Multi-Step home remedy. It's all-natural, so your body will love it and you won't have to worry about annoying side effects of prescription and OTC treatments. It's been specially designed to attack the problem from many angles to completely eliminate all traces of the yeast infection.

However, if you suspect you have a yeast infection now, make sure you make an appointment with your doctor as soon as possible. Waiting to diagnose and to start treatment is never a good idea.
