Yeast is nothing more than a fungus, that lives in both men, and women. It rarely becomes a problem, unless there is a upset in your body’s balance.

There are so many different things that may cause an imbalance, too. For instance, antibiotics, birth control pills, pregnancy, all may cause a yeast infection.

Many times even after a doctors visit, your yeast infection may come right back. This is because medicine may only treat the symptoms, and not the underlying cause. Is it possible to cure recurrent yeast infections, and keep them from returning? Yes, it is possible, but you must treat the cause not the symptoms. Unfortunately yeast infections are a very common condition that many people suffer through, needlessly. Spending a fortune on doctor visits, prescriptions, and over the counter drugs is not the answer. You will have to get to the root of the problem, in order to really CURE your infection. I found this out the hard way!

My yeast infection sent me running to the doctors office, there he did a test using vaginal discharge and confirmed that it was a yeast infection for sure. I left there with two prescriptions, one being an antibiotic, and the other was a cream.

I was able to get some relief immediately with the cream while the medication did it’s job. Within a few days I was infection free, and back to my usual, non scratching self. The whole situation was very embarrassing, to say the least. I know it’s a common problem, but I still couldn’t help feeling embarrassed.

Two weeks had past, and I still had no symptoms. I did notice one morning when I was brushing my teeth that my tongue was covered with white patches. I brushed my teeth and went on about my day. Each day it was getting worse, and I was starting to notice I had bad breath, no matter how often I brushed or gargled.

Again, I went to the doctor, and again it was a yeast infection. Only this time it was in my mouth, how gross is that! My doctor gave me the same exact medicine, that obviously wasn’t working. I asked question after question, only to get the response from him, that it is extremely difficult to cure recurrent yeast infections.

My doctors response prompted me to get a second opinion. Unfortunately, the second opinion was the same result. There was no way that I could afford these doctors visits every other week for the same problem, nor could I handle having to live with the thought of battling this infection everyday for the rest of my life! I had to find a way to stop this from happening to me.

I began trying home remedy, after remedy to no avail. These did help with the symptoms, but they were no where near a permanent cure. I began to do some research on the computer, and mostly returned the same results as all of the previous home remedies that I had already tried. I kept searching, and that’s when I found the true CURE!

I couldn’t believe how simple, and how over looked this permanent fix was. I was able to treat myself in the privacy of my own home! I started feeling relief from symptoms, in only hours. No more itching, or burning, and my tongue was back to it’s beautiful pinkish color that I once remembered.
