The incidence of yeast infections seems to be growing, yet it is often looked upon as a common ailment that
is endemic to women. Many men suffer yeast infections and it is just as painful and inconveniently located
as for women.
Typically a topical cream or antibiotic (either oral or inserted vaginally) is the approach taken when a yeast
infection needs to be addressed, but there may be common sense ways to prevent infection as well as
suggestions on treatment options.
What is a Yeast Infection?
When your body produces too much yeast it often results in an infection. Since yeast is common in or on the
skin, penis, mouth and vagina these are areas where a yeast infection can occur (although there are
generally more incidence in women than men).
How Yeast Grows
The vagina helps prevent the growth of yeast through a caustic (for the yeast) acidic environment. This
environment can be altered negatively by menstruation, as well as the use of birth control pills, diabetes and
certain antibiotics. These agents work to lower the acid normally found in the vagina. When this happens,
yeast, which is common in the vagina in small amounts, can find an atmosphere for rapid growth.
The use of synthetic materials in underwear or lingerie can also contribute to yeast infections by trapping
moisture which also creates an atmosphere conducive to excess yeast production.
Why Yeast Infection Occurs
Ph balance in the body is the key. Yeast is prevalent in the body at all times. Yeast infection will occur when
the acid ph of the body is lowered. The immune system regulates the acid balance in the body. Your diet is
the leading factor to help the immune system keep a healthy balance. The body has a healthy ph of 6.4
(when measuring urine or saliva), the further away, greater or lower, from this natural reading you have, will
cause greater disease and illness such as yeast infection.
Stress is one of the largest causes of unbalanced ph readings in the body. Blood ph is higher than body ph.
Injury, overweight, antibiotics and birth control pills all alter the natural ph of the body. Fatigue is often
overlooked as a stress factor. Your ph reading does vary slightly through the day but should average 6.4 for
the day.
What Not To Do
Some may be following advice that is actually harmful, so it is important to know what has been offered in
the past as an effective alternative that will not help cure a yeast infection, and may actually accelerate
yeast growth or do long term damage to the vagina.
You should never use baking soda in attempting to cure a yeast infection. Baking soda has a high ph
causing the yeast to proliferate.
