Most over the counter medicines may help to get rid of a yeast infection, but often the results are not permanent. Plus the downfall of using these medicines is that your body could build up immunity to them and the yeast infection could return even worse than before. Alternative medicine helps by getting to the root of the problem and helping to boost your immune system, therefore not allowing yeast infection to return again.

Before you begin any type of treatment you should make sure that you are suffering from yeast infection and not possibly a urinary tract infection. The following are the most common symptoms: Vaginal discharge that may range from a white, creamy to cottage cheese type of discharge. Vaginal odor, painful sex or sexual dysfunction, muscle aches, irritability and burning or itching sensation. These symptoms vary from person to person and may also change over time.

To understand the causes of most yeast infections you should know what it is. More than 90% of the cases are due to an overgrowth of a fungus called Candida Albicans which naturally and quite harmlessly exists around the genitals. Candida thrives and will rapidly multiply in an environment that is high in sugars. The acidic balance of the vagina is kept in careful balance by your body, but that balance can be upset by a diet high in refined carbohydrates and sugars (including alcohol). The level of acid in and around the vagina can change during menstruation, during pregnancy, when taking birth control pills and steroids all of these can cause a yeast infection to develop.

There are other causes of a yeast infection which are the following:
* Antibiotic treatments
* Oral contraceptives
* Hot weather or non-ventilating clothing, which increase moisture and warmth, fostering fungal growth
* Stress
* Suppressed immune system (including HIV)
* Diabetes
* Certain soaps, powders, detergents
* Scented feminine products

The symptoms of a yeast infection severely reduce your ability to enjoy life as you should. You should not have to suffer, but the unfortunate truth is that prescription drugs don't get to the root of the problem. They just mask over your symptoms. They may help you to cope with your immediate symptoms, but they don't correct the long term cause of a yeast infection and you could possibly have a future recurrence.

Fortunately, there is an alternative remedy. There is a proven, natural cure to get rid of yeast infections by getting to the root cause of the infection, therefore eliminating the infection permanently. Finally, there is a way to get rid of a yeast infection for good.
