\n
A vulvovaginal yeast infection happens when a fungus called Candida grows too much in the vagina.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Normally it lives there harmlessly, but when the balance of bacteria and yeast is disturbed, it can overgrow, causing itching, burning, and unusual discharge.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Learn why this infection keeps coming back and what to do about it<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n
\"\ud83d\udd11\"<\/span>\u00a0MOST YEAST INFECTIONS GO AWAY WITH MEDICINE<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
But for some women, infections keep coming back. This is called recurrent yeast infection. It is recurrent when it occurs usually 3 or more times in a year.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\"\ud83d\udd11\"<\/span>\u00a0WHY IT HAPPENS<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u2013 Weak immunity can make it hard for your body to keep the yeast in check.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u2013 High blood sugar or diabetes provides food for yeast, helping it grow faster.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u2013 Hormonal changes from pregnancy, birth control pills, or menopause can affect vaginal balance.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u2013 Antibiotics can kill both bad and good bacteria, allowing yeast to overgrow.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u2013 Lifestyle factors like tight clothing, synthetic underwear, or staying in wet clothes create a warm, damp environment yeast loves.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\"\ud83d\udd11\"<\/span>\u00a0FOODS THAT CAN PROMOTE YEAST GROWTH<\/div>\n
\u2013 Sugar and sweets like candy, cakes, pastries, and sodas feed yeast.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u2013 Refined carbs like white bread, pasta, and white rice turn into sugar quickly in your body.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u2013 Alcohol can disrupt gut and vaginal balance.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u2013 Certain milk products, especially full-fat cheese and milk, may encourage yeast.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u2013 Processed foods like packaged snacks, sauces, and fast food often contain hidden sugars.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\"\ud83d\udd11\"<\/span>\u00a0HOW TO MANAGE IT<\/div>\n
\u2013 Always finish the prescribed antifungal treatment even if symptoms disappear early.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u2013 Sometimes longer treatment, up to 7 to 14 days, is needed for recurring infections.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u2013 Avoid scented soaps, douches, and feminine sprays because they disturb the natural bacteria and make infections worse.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\"\ud83d\udd11\"<\/span>\u00a0LIFESTYLE ADJUSTMENTS THAT HELP PREVENT RELAPSE<\/div>\n
\u2013 Wear breathable cotton underwear and loose clothing.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u2013 Change out of wet clothes quickly after swimming or exercising.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u2013 Limit sugar and refined carbs.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u2013 Keep stress in check because stress weakens the immune system.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\"\ud83d\udd11\"<\/span>\u00a0SUPPORTIVE OPTIONS<\/div>\n
\u2013 Probiotics containing Lactobacillus can help restore the natural balance of bacteria.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\u2013 Yogurt with live cultures may help soothe symptoms but is not a replacement for antifungal treatment.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
DO NOT TRY TO TREAT YOURSELF<\/div>\n
\u2013 If infection doesn\u2019t improve with medicine.<\/div>\n
\u2013 If infections are frequent or severe.<\/div>\n
\u2013 If you have diabetes or another condition that affects immunity.<\/div>\n
Please go to the clinic<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Your doctor may check for underlying issues like hormonal imbalance, diabetes, or other infections.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Recurring yeast infections are not just bad luck. They usually mean something in your body or lifestyle is creating the perfect environment for yeast to grow.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Treat the infection at a clinic, protect your natural balance, and work with a doctor to stop the cycle.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
