Treating Yeast Infections - Introduction
If you have a weakened immune system for any
reason, you should never attempt to treat a yeast infection
yourself.
 You
need to get medical attention as soon as possible. For the rest
of us, there are a number of treatment options.
The option that you and your health provider decide to use
will depend on (a) whether or not you have a weakened immune
system, (b) the intensity of the infection, (c) whether or not
you have chronic infections, and (d) whether or not you’re
infected with a drug-resistant strain of Candida.
Your treatment will also depend on whether you go to a medical
doctor (MD), a naturopath (ND) or a practitioner of oriental
medicine.
- Medical doctors will usually concentrate
on killing the yeast in the vagina that is causing the infection,
and they may check to make sure you have no underlying condition
such as diabetes or AIDS that is causing your infections to
keep coming back.
- Naturopaths and practitioners of oriental medicine
will attempt to reduce or kill the yeast in the vagina while
also improving your body’s own immune system and increasing
your population of good bacteria, to improve your overall
health.
Another option, of course, is to treat your yeast infection
yourself. You can do this with over-the-counter antifungal medications,
“natural” antifungal herbs or tinctures, by taking
“probiotics,” (dietary supplements and sugar-free
yogurt that contain beneficial bacteria), and with changes to
your diet.
All of these treatment philosophies can be effective, and are
not mutually exclusive. For instance, you may want to:
1. Visit a medical doctor to get a prescription that kills
the infection quickly, and then –
2. Visit a naturopath or practitioner of oriental medicine
to build up your body’s immune system so the infection
doesn’t come back, and at the same time –
3. Change your diet and switch to cotton underwear.
While self-treatment is a valid option, self-diagnosis is not.
If you aren’t sure why you need to visit a doctor or other
health practitioner, go back and re-read the section called
When
It Looks Like a Vaginal Yeast Infection, but it’s Really
Something Else.

the Web's most popular books on sugar
addiction.
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. |
