People very often do not take care of yeast infections well; they do not think there is any need to hurry as yeast infections are barely painful in the beginning.
But if left as is, the infection can become more complicated and uncomfortable to live with.
It is best to treat the infection from the very beginning; to be able to do so it is useful to know what the symptoms of yeast infection are.
Itching This is the most common symptom of yeast infections, as itching is something common, it is often overlooked as being a yeast infection.
You can determine this easily as the infected area will be constantly itching even if you scratch it and often will not stop until it hurts.
For instant relief you can try to apply yogurt directly on the infected area, this can be a little bit messy but really helps when the itch is unbearable.
Yogurt is one of the best treatment against yeast, so you can keep using yogurt (eating it is also good) until your infection fades away.
Burning sensation The area infected with yeast will constantly feel like "burning" as the yeast will continue to develop and expand.
Again yogurt will provide instant relief against the burning sensation but for long term results; it is best to keep the area clean, dry and well aerated.
The thing is moist and warm areas are best for yeast to grow.
Always dry the infected area well after shower and wear only cotton underwear.
Vaginal discharge This is one of the most common symptoms in women who suffer from vaginal yeast infection.
They will have a white, cottage cheese like discharge that smells more or less like beer or bread, though the yeast is a different one the smell will give you a clue.
If you start using yogurt to cure your infection, you will see a lot of improvement in the coming days following your first treatment.
