Vaginal irritation can be sign of yeast infection. In fact there are many women out there that get vaginal bacterial infections frequently. For some the infections occur once every 4 to 6 months despite taking prescribed medication for it. The most common cause for yeast infection is the foods that we eat, if you have a sweet tooth in particular, you are more likely prone to getting frequent yeast infections, because Candida (a type of yeast fungus) feeds on sugar.

For a proper diagnosis of yeast infection your doctor would take a swab before treatment is prescribed. Other women opt to use over the counter creams or pessaries and others use natural home remedies. Most women with yeast infection complain having the following symptoms:

- Severe Vaginal Irritation

- Persistent Vaginal Itching

- Vaginal Discharge which is odourless and is cottage-cheese like

- Burning sensation when urinating

- Pain during sexual intercourse

Home Remedies are becoming very popular for treating yeast infections because they are fast acting, cost-effective and easy to use. Here are two effective home remedies used for treating vaginal irritation:

Tea Tree Oil is a powerful substance used a home remedy for many yeast infections. Use a drop or two of concentrated tea tree oil in warm water as a healing douche to treat an irritated vagina.
