The vaginal yeast infection is a condition that is caused by an overgrowth of Candida yeast in the body. While Candida is a micro-organism that is completely natural to be produced by the body, it can sometimes begin to multiply in abundance. When this happens, the yeast tends to concentrate itself in the vaginal area in the case of a vaginal yeast infection.

The physical symptoms of Candida overgrowth can be uncomfortable and embarrassing to endure. Common symptoms include an abnormal vaginal discharge. While women experience a clear and odorless vaginal discharge on a daily basis, when infection occurs the discharge becomes thick and whitish or yellowish in color.

It also has a distinct odor that can vary from female to female. Accompanying this discharge is inflammation and swelling of the vulva, a symptom that leads to an intense burning and itching sensation in the vaginal area that usually increases during urination.

These uncomfortable symptoms of Candida overgrowth can actually become so intense for some females that normal everyday activities become difficult and cumbersome to perform. Most forms of physical activity, even something as small as walking, irritate the already sensitive vaginal area, leading to increased discomfort.

Any sexual activity should definitely be avoided, not only because it is extremely uncomfortable during infection, but also because the yeast infection can actually be passed to your partner during intercourse. The symptoms of Candida overgrowth can go well beyond physical discomfort and actually become physically debilitating.

The most common remedies for vaginal yeast infections are over-the-counter topical treatments that mainly focus on soothing the irritated skin. While some may succeed in doing so, these topical creams are not the most effective solution.

The relief is temporary and the creams are uncomfortable and thick when applied. But more significantly, these creams are not the most effective due to the fact that they do not treat the source of the yeast infection, but only the skin irritation. This means that though the symptoms may be temporarily soothed, they are by no means cured.

Since Candida infections are caused by an overgrowth of yeast, the only way to cure the condition and prevent recurrent infection is to stop this overgrowth. This can be accomplished by changing certain lifestyle and environmental factors.

For example, certain foods increase the yeast production of the body. Furthermore, certain types of clothing and personal hygiene habits also increase yeast production. By learning how changes can be made for the better, in these areas as well as many others, it is possible to stop infection at the source, and never suffer from recurrent problems again.
