Can a yeast infection be treated with yogurt, strawberry or banana?

You’ve heard people talk about it, but you wonder if it’s just a myth. You are curious because you have that familiar feeling and you know you have another yeast infection. You don’t feel like going to the store and spending more money on creams so you ask yourself Can You Really Treat Yeast Infections With Yogurt? Yes, yeast infection can be treated with yogurt. But what if you could treat a yeast infection without all the fuss? I’ll tell you how later.

Before we start talking about treating your yeast infection, you need to make sure you have one. If you are not sure, the best thing to do is consult a doctor. Three out of four women have at least one yeast infection in their lives. And 50% of them will have more than one. So most of us know when we are having a yeast infection. But some of the symptoms could also be symptoms of a bacterial infection or an STD.

Why does yogurt work and how do you treat a yeast infection with yogurt?
Yeast is normally present in our bodies all the time. It is the overgrowth of yeast that gives us the problem. Your vagina is normally quite acidic, which keeps yeast in check. Sometimes that balance is thrown off by taking antibiotics, birth control pills, or using certain personal care products. When that happens, the yeast begins to multiply faster than our bodies can eliminate it. Active cultures in yogurt can immediately begin to kill yeast.

There are a few different ways to treat a yeast infection with yogurt. (This can be quite graphic for some.) First of all, only use regular unsweetened yogurt with active cultures. If you use flavored yogurt, the sugar will negate the effects of the active cultures. You can dip a tampon in yogurt and place it in your vagina. If you can’t use a tampon, you need some sort of syringe, like a turkey baster, to put the yogurt in. You can also spread some yogurt directly on your lips to soothe them. Use a light pad to detect leaks. You will feel relief quickly and after a few days, you should be symptom free. Some people recommend eating yogurt regularly to prevent infections from coming back.

Are you thinking, ‘yuck’? Well, is it better than sticking a clove of garlic or a slice of grapefruit in your vagina? These are also home remedies to treat a yeast infection. But what if you could treat a yeast infection with just a couple of swipes under your tongue, three times a day?
