Treating Yeast Infections - Why Topical Treatments Are Best
Because almost all people are hosts to a population
of Candida, your body has developed ways to
prevent infection on its own.
 Your
mucous membranes are usually an effective barrier to infection,
and your immune cells search out and destroy yeast cells that
appear in the wrong places. Your own beneficial bacteria also
work hard to keep the yeast population in check.
If you do get a yeast infection, it means that one or more
of these natural defense systems has failed, or your chemical
balance has changed. When choosing a treatment option, you should
look for a form of treatment that will strengthen your natural
defense system and improve your overall health, if at all possible.
A mild infection may go away on its own as your immune system,
bacterial population, or hormone balance comes back into balance.
Often, however, you will want to take steps to kill off the
infectious yeasts in the vaginal area to get rid of the annoying
symptoms as quickly as possible. Once this is accomplished,
you will want to look at your diet and lifestyle to improve
your general health so the infection doesn’t come back.
A shotgun approach to killing the yeast is rarely recommended.
There are systemic antifungal medications that can be taken
either orally or by IV injection, but most of the time your
doctor will prescribe or recommend a topical cream or ointment
that affects only the specific area where the infection occurs.
Topical treatments are almost always effective, but should
only be used when needed. Some scientists are concerned that
drug-resistant strains created by the misuse of over-the-counter
antifungal medications may escape into the air, where they can
infect other people.
Oral and IV medications are generally used only when a topical
treatment doesn’t work. This can happen when the yeast
has developed a resistance to the medications in the topical
creams, or because the immune system is compromised.
Yeast infections in patients with compromised immune systems
will, of course, be treated more aggressively. And if you have
chronic yeast infections, your personal yeast population may
already be resistant to the topical creams and ointments available
in drug stores, or to a “natural” remedy that always
worked for you before. In this case, your doctor may need to
prescribe something stronger.

the Web's most popular books on sugar

A number of people have asked me for advice about natural
yeast infection remedies to use when nothing seems to work.
I read through many books and articles, and I recommend
Yeast
Infection Away by Crystal McBride. Her information
is well researched, and the instructions are easy to follow. |
