Repeat yeast infections can be so frustrating. Taking antibiotics repeatedly within a year can weaken your immune system. You may feel as if, as soon as you start to recover, you are bombarded with another yeast infection.
It is obvious that the antibiotics may not be as effective. If you have taken more than 3 rounds of antibiotics, they may only make you sicker. Any amount of stress, or eating too much of the wrong foods can bring back another yeast infection that may be resistant to the antibiotic that you have taken previously. You may feel weaker and it may take longer to recover from each yeast infection.
Taking a pro-biotic every day can help place good bacteria back into your body. Acidophilus Pro-biotic tablets with active cultures will help. The anti-biotic has done it's job previously and killed off good and bad bacteria. If you don't rebuild up your immune system, you will be more apt to quickly have another repeat yeast infection.
Buttermilk for example has live cultures in it; it is very similar to yogurt. Buttermilk can be found in the freezer section of any grocery store. A great natural help for an inflamed yeast infection in women is to douche with cold butter milk twice a day. This provides relief from the burning and itching. Especially if you have sores on vagina from yeast infection.
While taking any supplement for health, be sure to drink plenty of water. Staying hydrated can help your body fight off the yeast infection. Avoiding sugar in your diet plays an important role in preventing reoccurring yeast infections.
