Do you suffer from recurring vaginal or male yeast infection? below is a home remedy or yeast infection treatment for men and women.
But first, what causes yeast infection? It is caused by a fungus named Candida Albicans. Yeast is a tiny organism that lives in small numbers on the skin and in the vagina. When the acidic balance in the vagina is lowered, the yeast grows and causes a vaginal infection.
Yeast infection symptoms are not serious but are very unpleasant. They include a thick white discharge from the vagina. Burning during urination, vaginal itching, irritation, redness and swelling. Irritation, soreness and white spots on the penis.
One of the main causes of recurring yeast infection is sexual activity. If a woman with yeast infection has unprotected sex, her partner can contract the infection. Since alot of men do not even know they are infected as they do not show any visible symptoms right away. The woman can treat her infection only to contract it again from her partner. Thus the recurring yeast infection can go on until the male notices symptoms.
One of the best home remedies for treating yeast infection is dabbing apple cider vinegar mixed with garlic and water to dilute the vinegar. The vinegar stops the yeast from growing while the garlic stops the itching.
Tips on preventing yeast infection.
1. Do not wear tight clothes.
2. Wear cotton underwear.
3. Removing your swimsuit right after swimming.
4. Do not wear a sanitary pad longer than your period.

7. Try not to wear pantyhose every day.
8. For the men use a condom but not a nonoxynol-9 lubricated kind.
Although it is impossible to totally prevent a vaginal yeast infection. Using these tips can create a vaginal environment which can slow down the causes of recurring yeast infection

What is this itchy warty substance? please help?
By: jenny626 | 09-10-2007
hi i can not find any information the i need anywhere. I was diagonsed with genital warts three years ago and my warts resembled the tradiontal cauliflower look located at the vaginal entrance. after many times of going back and forth to the doctors over years i must say i finally was wart free. Now recently i have noticed myself to be ithcy in the groin area and have notcied almost invincible bumps, but because im so paranoid about geting warts and passing this on i am always keeping an eye on myself and any changes. They are skin coloured tiny little bumps maybe one to four or more spread around my labia not near my vagina entrance, there was one even in my pubic area. they do not resemble the warts i had previously but the itching is very similar. When i scratch these bumps a white hard structure comes out of them, small little oval white shaped cell like patterns combined into one which to me sort of resembles a wart like core. Its definatly a core and its not soft and pusy like a pimple it is like little white balls joined together tightly compacted and firm.... when i have scraped this out the wound bleeds imensley and i itch and im finding more are coming up. im so unsure what this is. the doc says no to std but why is my crutch so dam itchy and what is the hard white warty core stuff i cant find an answer anywhere. people may say molluscum how ever you spell that but what i have does not seem to look like any of these pictures of molluscum i have researched. and the substance does not smell and is not soft. Do genital warts even have a white core? And can they even be popped or scraped , torn off i more should say? i fear to have sex because i would never want someone to go through what i went though earlier if this is the STD back again. i just want answers and and itch bump free crotch! please help me. i want to know what this is its driving me crazy and seems unusual. Cheers please help me i jave done my best to descrobe this as best as i can.
