6 Reasons You’re Having Yeast Infections That’s Hard To Treat

 

You most likely know you have a yeast infection from the itching, burning white clumps that appear on your underwear which makes you freak out. The infections are something you most likely never look forward to but require your attention especially if you’re having them often.

If you can however identify the things that ate putting you at risk, there’s a huge chance you will be able to stop the pain you feel from the stress of having it. Here are certain risk factors that are making the infection a recurrent one.

Regular Use Of Antibiotics
Regularly taking antibiotics can help make your yeast infections hard to treat. Taking antibiotics for a urinary tract infection, sore throat or any other ailment can upset the balance of your body. Antibiotics can kill off the healthy bacteria in the vagina, allowing yeast to overgrow.

If you’re thinking of increasing the population of the healthy bacteria in your vagina and reduce the chances of having an infection, it’s best to take a probiotic supplement along with your antibiotic.
Probiotics with lactobacillus are the best to take because that’s the dominant bacteria found in the vagina of healthy women.

You can also get them from foods such as Yogurt works, provided they come as active live cultures.

Making Use Of Scented Hygiene Products
While it’s not such a bad idea to smell like fresh tropical flowers, perfumed sprays wipes, washes and even fragrant bubble baths can cause the acidity level in your vagina to drop, causing an infection. It’s best to stick with gentle bar soaps and avoid douching.

Having High Blood Sugar
If you’re hyperglcemic or have a high blood sugar level either due to prediabetes, Type I or Type II diabetes, there’s a high chance you will have recurring yeast infection. The reason for this is not far-fetched is because yeast tend to get their energy from sugar, and infections thrive in moist areas of the body, including the vagina.

Failing To Change Your Tampons And Pads Often
Yeast tends to breed and multiply in environments where there is a lot of moisture. Pads and tampons provide this by keeping excess moisture around that allows yeast to grow. They breed in high-moisture environments, and pads and tampons can keep excess moisture around, allowing yeast to grow. The simple solution to this problem is ensuring that you change your pads and tampons often as the weather becomes warmer.

Getting Down With An Infected Partner
Yeast infections are contagious. You can get infected through kissing a partner who has thrush (oral yeast) or through sexual intercourse (yeast infection of the penis). The thing however is that the latter is more common among uncircumcised men with a foreskin.

Furthermore, having a lot of sex at once, even with a man that doesn’t have a yeast infection can spell trouble. Doing so can change the pH of the vagina and allow the yeast to overtake the good bacteria. Urinating immediately after sex may help to reduce the chances of recurrent infection.

Wearing Tight Underwear
Wearing Tight underwear that is made from synthetic fabric can cause recurrent infection. Underwear that are tight and do not allow your vagina breath tend to encourage an overgrowth of yeast by creating a warm and moist environment.

It’s also good to sleep without an underwear so as to allow your vagina breath and air itself out naturally.
