I believe that all women are having an experience when their vaginal area feels burning and itchy. It is usually followed by a yellowish liquid that come from vagina and a rough texture on the vagina skin. If you have such experience, then you don't have to worry and thinking that you have a Sexually Transmitted Disorder or STD. The symptom is a yeast infection symptom. About 20-50% healthy women have yeasts on their vaginal area and it is a normal thing. Yeast infection occurs because the number of yeast in the vaginal area is increasing rapidly or there is a bacterium that stimulates yeast growth. You don't have to feel embarrass because more than 75% women experience this condition at least once in their life.

What are the causes of yeast infection? There are many of them like poor hygiene, medicine and injury. Poor hygiene is able to increase the number of yeast. Not only that, bacteria that stick to the vaginal area can make the yeast infection symptoms so worse. Women who have chemotherapy are also having a risk of yeast infection because there would be an injury inside the vagina. Pregnant women or women with diabetes are having higher risk on yeast infection. Some medicines, especially one that has a direct interaction with the vagina like douche is giving a higher risk of infection as well. Yeast infection can be cured and we can even use some home remedies as yeast infection cure.

Home remedies like garlic, yogurt, oregano oil and water can be a good choice. However, it will take a long time to recover from yeast infection if we use home remedies. If we go to the doctor, doctor will recommend us several medicines or low sugar diet. The yeast infection cure is not aimed to rid the entire yeasts, but press the yeasts number, so it will reach the normal level.
