Yogurt For A Yeast Infection

Yogurt for a yeast infection is another option for you if you don't want to insert any anti fungal drugs into your vagina. It's a natural remedy for yeast infections that will reintroduce friendly bacteria back into your vagina instead of juts killing the fungus. And it's a natural cure for Candida that has no risk of creating a drug resistant fungus.

WHat yogurt for a yeast infection won't do

Just like anti fungal creams, when you use yogurt to cure your vaginal yeast infection it won't treat the cause of your infection. Your body is allowing Candida to mutate into a fungus, and this needs to be addressed as well in order to cure your infection completely. If you've used an anti fungal cream already and it hasn't worked then that is the reason why your yeast infection has come back, and that is because the cream you used didn't do anything for what's going on in your intestines.

What you need to do

To use yogurt for a yeast infection all you need is a natural, sugar free, live yogurt and a box of tampons. It's important that the yogurt is sugar free as any sugar in the yogurt will just feed the fungus and make your infection worse. The yogurt also needs to be a live yogurt with the cultures listed on the label.

Just using any yogurt will nor replenish the friendly bacteria in your vagina, and it will probably also make your infection worse. It's the bacteria in the yogurt that are going to fight off the fungus.

Once you have both of these the rest is simple. All you do is dip the tampon in the yogurt then insert it like you would normally. Leave it in for a couple of hours, and repeat this a couple of times a day. If you leave the tampon in too long it can make you sore so it's important to take it out after a couple of hours.

If yogurt for a yeast infection doesn't work

If the yogurt doesn't cure your yeast infection then it can be for a good reason. One is you may not have a yeast infection. If you haven't been to your doctor for a correct diagnosis then now would be a good time. It's important that you know exactly what vaginal infection you have so it gets the correct treatment.

The other reason is the one that was mentioned above, and that is your infection has a root cause that hasn't been treated. The cause for a vaginal yeast infection that can't be cured is usually internally. Candida lives in you all the time, and your body is now allowing it to mutate into an infection causing fungus.
