How To Get Rid Of Yeast Infection Caused By Antibiotics?

Many women suffer from yeast infection sometimes in their lives. Of them, Yeast Infection caused by antibiotics is the most recurring one. This infection is caused by overgrowth of a fungus known as Candida Albans, in your vagina.

Changes in the vaginal environment, hormone level, sexual contact, high blood-sugar level, types of clothing, stress and antibiotics that build-up excess Candida Albans which in turn cause yeast infection.

However, one of the most common recurring causes of yeast infections is due to the use of antibiotics as they not only destroy harmful bacteria, but they also kill good bacteria, which protect us from pathogens.

Approximately, 25% of women may experience a yeast infection. Yeast can cause symptoms in various areas of the body, such as neck, vagina, rectum, tongue and lips. It may cause itching, burning, discharge, painful urination, and vaginal itching.

Yeast may grow and spread throughout the body that makes it harder to get rid of, but there are many ways to get rid of the yeast infection caused by antibiotics.

Prevent yeast infections with personal hygiene:

• Keep your vaginal area dry and clean.
• Try to avoid tight clothes as that will not allow air to circulate around the vaginal area.
• Wear cotton undergarments.
• Avoid douching.
• Do not use feminine hygiene sprays, fragrances and powders in your genital area.
• Use condoms to avoid spreading sexually transmitted infection (STI).

Prevent yeast infection with diet:

• Consume probiotics as they can counterbalance the growth of extra yeast which in turn helps to prevent infection.
• Maintain your blood sugar level in control when you have diabetes.
• Avoid soft drinks and foods that are rich in sugar because they can cause extra yeast growth.
• Eating yogurt is one of the best ways to get rid of yeast infection caused by antibiotics.
• Garlic will help to fight off yeast infection as it has natural anti-fungal properties.
• Limit eating and drinking foods that are high in yeast content such as breads, mushrooms, cheese, beer and other types of alcohol.

Prevent yeast infection with medications:

• Creams: Your doctor may prescribe over-the-counter anti-fungal creams, ointments and gels such as tioconazole, miconazole, clotrimazole and butoconazole, which allow you to fight with yeast infection caused by antibiotics.
• Acidophilus pills: These pills act in the same way as yogurt does to reduce yeast caused by antibiotics. Acidophilus has proven to be the most effective cure for yeast infection. It is available in the form of dried powder, dried granules, capsules and liquid form. These pills are readily available in any natural foods market.
• Suppositories: Another way to get rid of yeast infection caused by antibiotics is with over-the-counter anti-fungal suppositories. These are small oval tablets, which are inserted into the vagina to get rid of yeast infection.
