If there are two things woman constantly battle with, it would have to be yeast and urinary tract infections. With some foresight and natural preventive care/remedies, females can crack down on such women’s health issues.

Vaginal yeast infections, bacterial vaginosis, and urinary tract infections together affect an estimated one billion women each year. If they are recurrent, they may signal underlying health problems. Hence, medical consultation is important. A doctor will be able to help affected women identify the causes of chronic yeast infections, which may range from taking birth control pills to poor diet & hygiene.

To ward off UTI, the doctor will most likely advise you to avoid simple sugars and include garlic and onions in your diet, and drink lots of water; wear cotton underwear so as not to trap moisture; practice good hygiene; and always urinate before and after intercourse. To prevent yeast infections, get ample sleep and engage in regular physical activity; eat one-half cup of yogurt each day; avoid refined carbohydrates and alcohol; avoid perfumed body soap; wear loose-fitting cotton undergarments; and make sure your partner has clean genitalia before a sexual encounter.
