Women have been dealing with yeast infections for a long time.
The fact that many people won't talk about them is not surprising.
Having an infection in the vaginal area is not only embarrassing to talk about, it's just not something people want to share with others.
The real problem arises when an infection continues to linger and causes a foul smell to come from the vaginal area.
If you have trouble getting rid of yeast infections, keep reading.
The first thing most people do when they get an infection is run to the local drug store and pick up some over the counter products that claim to get rid of the infection.
The truth is that those medications do nothing for you other than treat the symptoms.
You need to treat the actual infection if you want to rid yourself of foul vaginal odor.
Doctor prescribed medications are no better than the ones you get over the counter.
Actually they are nothing more than a stronger dose of the exact same medication.
Doctor prescribed medications only treat the symptoms as well so your infection can still linger long after it should be gone.
The last thing you should ever do is you are trying to get rid of vaginal odor and a yeast infection is use a douche.
A douche will do nothing more than stop the smell for a little while and when it returns, the foul odor will be twice as bad.
A douche kills the good and bad bacteria inside the vagina, so while the infection never went away, when the symptoms come back they will be much worse.
Many women have decided to use home remedies instead of doctor and over the counter medications.
The results that have been reported have been overwhelmingly positive in regards to curing yeast infections.
