Yeast Infections and Stinky Urine

How To Get Rid of a Yeast Infection



 

There are three easy ways to get rid of a yeast infection:



 Creams that you can buy over the counter are a great option.  They include such popular brands as Monistat and Vagisil.


 Tablets are another option, and they include fluconazole if you’re pregnant.




 

How To Prevent a Yeast Infection

 

 

 

No woman who has ever experienced a yeast infection wants to go through that ordeal again.  There are many things you can do today to minimize a recurrence.



 Always wipe from front-to-back after urinating.  This way you won’t be getting any bacteria from your anus near your vagina.


 Wear underwear, preferably cotton.  Bacteria can flourish on your well-worn jeans or slacks.


 Don’t wear tight clothes too often, as this can lead to a moisture buildup, a prime thriving ground for bacteria.


 Get out of those wet swim clothes pronto.  Again, moisture is the problem here.


 Change tampons often.

 Ointments or even suppositories.  These can be rubbed on or inserted.



 

Be careful not to overuse medicated creams, however.  If you don’t have a yeast infection but are using anti-fungal creams, your body could become resistant to them and then they may not help you if you really do end up needing them one day.
