bacteria, parasites, and viruses easily fit into the vagina. Therefore, women
must diligently take care of the cleanliness of her vagina.
In the vagina there are
a variety of bacteria, Lactobacillus 95 percent, 5 percent of the pathogen. In

natural defense will also go down, and prone to infection. The imbalance of the
vaginal ecosystem due to many factors. Among these oral contraceptives,
diabetes mellitus, antibiotics, menstrual blood, semen, spraying fluid into the
vagina (douching), and hormonal disorders such as puberty, pregnancy, or
menopause.
The fungus can grow
naturally throughout the body, especially if the damp and dark as in the
vagina. Generally good bacteria (probakteria) especially acidophilus trying to
create an acidic environment that fungi do not multiply. But if a little
acidophilus and high sugar levels in the body, then the mold will begin to
proliferate. 3 out of 4 women experience at least one yeast infection in their
lives. If this keep coming again, something is wrong with the body's defense

declining estrogen levels. If it had a yeast infection that hormonal then a
week before menstruation is advisable to consume probiotics, avoid sugary foods
and eat yogurt.

use
pantyliners
If using pantyliners so
clean underwear, the thinking is wrong because pantyliners cause mild
irritation which can lower immunity and fungal skin really liked humid or
little air. This is because the synthetic fibers of pantyliners obstruct air
flow makes a comfortable fungus to breed.
Eczema triggers a rash
that can appear on the vulva and vaginal tissues. This condition causes chronic
inflammation and irritation in some people that develop fungal infections.
Therefore, it is necessary to treat eczema vagina and cleaned mushrooms
immediately.
Using
spermicide condoms

contained in vaginal spermicides can disrupt immune and allow the fungus to
take advantage. If the suspect spermicides as a cause, then choose a
spermicide-free condom.
