Menopause And Yeast Infections – Tips And Advice In Treating Them
Menopause and yeast infections appear to be synonymous. Along with the hot flashes, mood changes and other problems associated with menopause, vaginal dryness is yet another symptom women have to contend with. Let’s explore how vaginal dryness can increase the risk of yeast infection.
The medical term for any infection of the vaginal tract is called vaginitis. The symptoms are very similar to yeast infections in that they include: itching, burning or painful during urination and/or sexual intercourse.

As debilitating as yeast infections can be, it is important to use preventative methods to ensure you do not become a candidate for this condition, especially during menopause. One of the contributory factors is having sex with multiple partners. In addition, the use of foams or jellies or other birth control items can cause infections as well. Try to limit your use of sprays or products that are not natural. Soap and water is the best method to wash your vaginal area.

Always wipe from front to back, thus decreasing the changes of spreading bacteria from back to front.
Other ways in which you can assist in the dissipation of a yeast infection is to avoid intercourse for a time; take cold baths to relieve the itching; never douche, as you would be washing away the necessary bacteria needed to fight the fungus; and if necessary, use a vaginal cream. More importantly, however, seek advice from your doctor to determine the extent to which the yeast infection can be treated.
While we all experience menopause and its affects; yeast infections can be avoided if using proper hygiene habits. Whether using home remedies or conventional medications, at some point you may have to receive medical intervention of the condition does not go away or if it becomes chro

TTC. What are the symptoms of PCOS?
My fiancee and I are ttc. This is our second month.
Ive always had a feeling that there was something quite not right with my periods and that but didnt really pay any attention until now.
Around day 14 of my cycle i get very tender breasts and i start feeling like my period is coming about 2 weeks before it comes.
My cycles range from 30-38 days and i also get an extreme amount of white sticky cervical mucus.
