If you suffer with recurrent candidiasis, you are not alone.
Many women and men suffer with yeast infections that just don't go away.
Candidiasis is caused when the Candida albicans grows to numbers beyond what normally lives within our bodies.
Candida is part of the "good" bacteria that live within our mouths, on our skin, in our genitourinary tract, digestive tract, and within the bowels.
These bacterias are usually never noticed until they cause infections.
Here are ways to treat recurrent candidiasis.
Reoccurring yeast infections can be very annoying and embarrassing.
Oftentimes people take medications for candidiasis.
These include oral medications such as Diflucan or prescription strength anti-fungal suppositories or creams.
There are also numerous over-the-counter (OTC) medications for recurrent candidiasis.
Monistat is a well known brand and comes in cream as well as suppository applications.
Generic medications can also be purchased to help with Candida.
Oftentimes these medications do not work for men and women suffering with stubborn Candida.
There are also plenty of natural home remedies to use for recurrent candidiasis.
One such homeopathic Candida method includes taking Probiotics that contain Lactobacillus.
This bacterium normally lives in the vagina and wards off the infection by producing hydrogen peroxide.
Another home remedy for recurrent candidiasis is to apply tea tree oil to the infection.
It has been recommended to put a little lubrication (i.
e.
KY gel) on the tip of a tampon and then put a few drops of tea tree oil on top of the lubricant.
When inserted into the vagina, this oil kills off the Candida.
The lubricant keeps the tampon from absorbing the tea tree oil.
