It is very easy for us girls to rely on a doctor to prescribe medication or to simply buy an over the counter treatment when we want to get rid of yeast infections.
However, maybe it is time that we stopped relying on these harsh medications that can come with certain side effects and look to more natural methods to fight the bug.
When you want to get rid of this condition, there are four main things that you should avoid regardless of how you choose to treat your infection.
1.
When you have this kind of infection, look at your diet.
How much sugar do you have in your tea? How many sweet foods are you eating on a daily basis? Do you have a diet full of refined foods? Thrush thrives on a diet that is filled with sugar so while you are trying to get rid of yeast infections, stop eating so much sweet stuff.
2.
Antibiotics are a yeast infections best friend.
Where possible, you should avoid taking these reliable pills.
Many women experience yeast infections every time they start on a course of antibiotics so if you live without them, try not to take them.
3.
The pill is something that so many girls rely on and when you are trying to heal yourself, it might be worth using this time as your 7 day break.
The contraceptive pill can actually reduce the reliability and strength of the body's immune system therefore providing a great environment for the yeast to grow quite happily and without obstacles.
4.
Last but not least, we come to the "douching.
" This is something that a lot of women do and shouldn't! Douching the vagina might be a way to make you feel clean while you have an yeast overgrowth but this massively upsets the pH balance of the area making it harder to get rid of yeast infections.
Be clean by all means but do not over clean.
