When the majority of women experience vaginal thrush symptoms, they will go to their doctor. Their doctors will usually prescribe some sort of medication or cream for them to apply for a few days to the area. While these drugs often do work, they don't work permanently. It is not uncommon for a women to experience the same symptoms many times again, and have to go back to the clinic or pharmacy and buy more and more medication or creams.

The reason drugs don't work permanently is because they don't treat an overgrowth of candida, a fungus which is the root cause of a vaginal yeast infection. Every woman has candida in their bodies, but when it has a chance to replicate to abnormal levels, vaginal thrush will often result. Odds are, the majority of women that go to the clinic will not hear their doctor talk about candida.

So in order for women to permanently cure their vaginal yeast infections, they have to treat this root cause. To do this successful, they first must learn what is causing this root cause. The main culprit is the taking of antibioitic medication. Not only do these drugs kill off the bad bacteria in the body that is causing the specific health ailment, they also kill off the good bacteria. When normal bacteria levels are disrupted, candida has a better chance to replicate and cause a yeast infection. Other common causes of vaginal thrush are having sex with an infected partner, wearing very tight clothing, or eating a diet full of sugar or other types of food that candida likes to feed on.

If women learn about the natural and proven remedies, as well as make some dietary adjustments, it is completely possible for them to experience relief that is not only just as quick as drugs, but more safe and far more permanent.
