Yogurt Yeast Infection Treatment

Can you really cure a yeast infection with yogurt? The yogurt yeast infection treatment is the most common home remedy for vaginal yeast infection. The kind of yogurt used is non-sweetened because it contains the most active bacteria.

For vaginal yeast infections you have some options -

• Eating some non sweetened yogurt that contains acidophilus each day can help increase the healthy bacteria inside your body.
• You can also insert the yogurt into your vagina. A popular method is to dip a tampon into the non sweetened yogurt and insert the tampon like you normally would only leave it in there for around 1 hour.
• Alternatively you can use a suppository that contain the live bacterial cultures. These can be found at most local health stores or online.

Most health practitioners will suggest the first method because eating the yogurt has other benefits for your body.

But I Do Not Like Eating Yogurt?
If the yeast infection is in another area like the anus under the arm or anywhere on your skin and you do not like eating yogurt you can apply some yogurt directly on the affected area. By doing this you will allow the good bacteria which is in the non sweetened yogurt do its work.

It is important to leave the yogurt on the affected area for around an hour and it is very important you use non sweetened yogurt because yogurt that has sugar will cancel out its true benefits.

Using yogurt for a yeast infection cure has helped many people but if your infection is severe then this may not work as well as it should. You should always consult your doctor if you are worried or if the infection gets worse.
