A Recurrent Yeast Infection Can Be Very AnnoyingRecurrent yeast infection may be the source of considerable unwanted annoyance and symptoms include vaginal discharge as well as vulvar itching and burning that may happen to the person at least four, if not more, times a year. To diagnose the problem, the doctor may confirm seeing yeast on a wet prep of the vagina or through growth of Candida yeast species on culture. These methods need to be performed for many recurrent occurrences in a row or else the condition may easily become an irritant vaginitis that does not respond to anti-yeast treatment. The risk factors involved in recurrent yeast infection could be diabetes and atypical glucose tolerance or even insulin resistance. There is also another factor that comes into play when recurrent yeast infection is to be treated and that is that drug resistance of Candida yeast strains remains effective for a few years rather than decades. This, however, does not mean that drug resistance will not play a role in recurrent yeast infection because as high as 10% of recurrent yeast infections may be caused by different yeast strains. The best treatment for recurrent yeast infection is Butoconazole because this treatment is readily available without prescription and is a good agent for use against chronic recurrences. No doubt, it is believed that as many as 75% of women may have experienced yeast infection at some point of time in their lives but only as few as 5% have had the misfortune of having recurrent yeast infections. To avoid getting recurrent yeast infection a person needs to control his or her diet which is a very important contributing factor in recurrent yeast infections. 
The need to treat the digestive tract is very important, as it is this area which can re-infect the vagina in case it is left untreated. The best diet to be used to avoid recurrent yeast infection consists of fresh vegetables and fruits, fish and poultry, flax seed oil, other essential fatty acids, drinking lots of fresh water, whole grains as well as Vitaklenz. In addition, one should avoid alcohol, animal fats, caffeine, dairy products as well as fast and junk foods, sugar, wheat products as well as white flour products. One may also take suppository treatment to treat recurrent yeast infections and this involves inserting Boric Acid suppositories twice daily and repeating it for two to four weeks, according to the severity of the infection. In addition, it has also been found that cranberries are useful in treating urinary tract infections because they are rich in Vitamin C, contain substances that prevent bacteria from clinging to the urinary tracts' walls and help to lower the pH of the urine thus helping to combat yeast infections. |
