5. Yogurt
For those that do not want to take a probiotic in a pill form, another option is to use natural yogurt. Non-flavored, natural, unsweetened yogurt provides the body with beneficial bacteria or probiotics. These probiotics are important for the health of the gut as it keeps the bad bacteria in check.
The bad bacteria is what can cause a person to experience a yeast infection as well as other infections inside the body. There are certain types of probiotics that are found in yogurt that can help fight off yeast infections. You can eat yogurt regularly to help prevent yeast infections from occurring in the first place.
If you currently are suffering from a yeast infection you can rub some yogurt to the vulva to provide some relief. Yogurt can also be inserted directly into the vagina to help alleviate the symptoms that you are currently experiencing.
