Causes

Yeast organisms are always present in all people, but are usually prevented from "overgrowth" (uncontrolled multiplication resulting in symptoms) by naturally occurring microorganisms.

At least three quarters of all women will experience candidiasis at some point in their lives. The Candida albicans organism is found in the vaginas of almost all women and normally causes no problems. However, when it gets out of balance with the other "normal flora," such as lactobacilli (which can also be harmed by using douches), an overgrowth of yeast can result in noticeable symptoms. Pregnancy, the use of oral contraceptives, engaging in vaginal sex after anal sex in an unhygienic manner, and using lubricants containing glycerine have been found to be causally related to yeast infections. Diabetes mellitus and the use of antibiotics are also linked to an increased incidence of yeast infections. Candidiasis can be sexually transmitted between partners. Diet has been found to be the cause in some animals. Hormone Replacement Therapy and Infertility Treatment may be factors.

Symptoms

Symptoms include severe itching, burning, and soreness, irritation of the vagina and/or vulva, and a whitish or whitish-gray discharge.

Many women mistake the symptoms of the more common bacterial vaginosis for a yeast infection. In a 2002 study published in the Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, only 33 percent of women who were self treating for a yeast infection actually had a yeast infection. Instead they had either bacterial vaginosis or a mixed-type infection.

In men, symptoms include red patchy sores near the head of the penis or on the foreskin. The sores may feel irritated and itchy, and sometimes they will burn as well.

Natural Remedy for Yeast Infection

Home remedies for yeast infections tend to have less side effects, milder, cleaner than OTC or prescription drugs. One of the most popular is yogurt. Yogurt contains Lactobacillus acidophilus, a bacterium found in healthy vaginas. This good bacteria kills yeast by producing hydrogen peroxide. Use plain, unflavoured yogurt and apply to the vulva and vagina directly. Check first to make sure the yogurt contains live lactobacillus acidophilus cultures. Garlic can also be used. It contains anti-fungal substances that kill yeast cells. It can be consumed in your diet or inserted directly into the vagina. Tie some dental floss to the clove so you can remove it later. Never cut the garlic clove. The juice can sting your vulva. Teatree oil is also widely used for treating infections. Soak an applicator tampon with a lubricant like KY Jelly or Olive Oil and apply a few drops of pure teatree oil. Insert the tampon using the applicator and apply the teatree oil carefully. The teatree oil can sting if it touches the vulva.

There are many internet remedies out there such as yoghurt and cranberry juice which seem innocous enough while others recommend Boric acid, a toxic substance to treat a yeast infection. How do you know what works, what is safe and effective?
