How To Treat Yeast – Douche Is Not A Good Idea
November 05th, 2008
If
you want to treat yeast, douche is not a good idea! Chemical douche can disturb the healthy balance of Yeast And Bacteria in the vagina.
Healthy vaginas are a result of the correct balance of bacterial organisms, yeast and pH levels. If something should occur to throw that delicate balance off – such as using a chemical douche – the outcome can be a vaginal yeast infection.
Vaginal yeast infections – Vaginal Candidiasis – are caused when the Candida yeast fungi that lives throughout the body becomes agitated and an overgrowth of yeast occurs.
Causes for agitation can include..
- Hormonal changes such as pregnancy;
- Sperm.. and spermicides;
- Antibiotics – which can destroy the good bacteria that keeps yeast in check;
- Bubble baths, perfumes, and scented detergents that irritate the vaginal and perineum area; and..
- Using a chemical douche – which can negatively affect the proper pH balance in the vagina.
So, to treat yeast infection, douche is not a good idea.
