If you experience recurrent yeast infections, something is wrong. There’s something you’re not checking—something you should look at that you haven’t.
1. Check your blood sugar level:
As a woman, being diabetic predisposes you to recurrent yeast infection as the excess blood sugar is a wonderful medium for yeast to grow.
A woman kept treating yeast infections after yeast infection. One day she visited a pharmacy and met a pharmacist. She complained bitterly about the issue, he asked her certain questions, the answers she gave pointed him at a certain direction, he told her she needed to run a blood sugar test, she did and it happened that her blood sugar level was high. She was diabetic and that was the major contributing factor to the recurrent yeast infection. Once her blood sugar level was controlled, the yeast infection stopped recurring.
2. Antibiotics check:
Using antibiotics in every chance you get (i.e abusing antibiotics) predisposes you to yeast infection, how?
Antibiotics clears both the good and bad bacteria, in the end, the bad ones grow faster than the good ones, this over growth predisposes you to yeast infection. Also, it’s important you know that, you don’t use antibiotics for yeast infection. Antibiotics are mainly used for bacterial infections not fungal infections. Yeast is a fungus as such antifungals are used. Don’t self medicate. See your healthcare provider for appropriate diagnosis and treatment.
3. Other checks:
Do you wash the va**na with soap?❌
Do you spray perfume on the va**na?❌
Do you make use of feminine wash or spray?❌ You don’t need those things. They can predispose you to recurrent yeast infection.
4. Do you engage in certain sexual practices?
Some people watch harmful things on screen and emulate those things, e.g., putting ice cream in the va**na. Putting ice cream in your va**na is a bad practice, it creates an environment for yeast overgrowth. Like I mentioned earlier, yeast thrives in sugary environments. Don’t engage in such sexual practice, as it is very bad for your sexual and reproductive health.
