Is there any evidence that you can use yogurt to treat yeast infections? While I am not sure the medical studies on this topic are conclusive, the real life examples of people using yogurt to deal with infection problems are very convincing.
It is important to understand that not only can consuming yogurt be effective in treating internal yeast, but yogurt can also effectively treat yeast by being applied directly inside the vagina.
You can get fast relief from the itching of vaginal yeast infections by inserting the yogurt directly inside the vagina.
The best way to effectively insert the yogurt is by using a tampon as an insertion device.
Since this process can be rather messy, you can dip a tampon into the yogurt and then put the yogurt in the refrigerator for a short while in order to firm up the yogurt before taking the tampon out of the yogurt.
When attempting to treat vaginal infections in this way it is important to only use plain or homemade yogurt.
Yogurt does effectively help to relieve the itching and soreness associated with the infection but yogurt will not cure it.
Most of the treatments used today only treat the symptoms.
A yeast infection can only be cured if you get rid of the fungus totally instead of just treating the bothersome symptoms.
If you are suffering with this problem regularly and you can't seem to get rid of it then yogurt will probably not help you to deal with the underlying issue.
