What Causes Vaginal Infection, and How Can It Be Treated Naturally? - #15370
I recently started experiencing itching, unusual discharge, and a burning sensation, and after some research, I found out that it could be a vaginal infection. From what I understand, vaginal infections can be caused by bacteria, yeast, viruses, or even poor hygiene, but how do you tell the difference between different types of infections? I read that bacterial vaginosis (BV), yeast infections, and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are the most common types of vaginal infections. How can someone determine whether their symptoms are due to yeast overgrowth, bacterial imbalance, or an STI? One thing that concerns me is how vaginal infections can disrupt pH balance, leading to recurring issues. What are the best ways to prevent vaginal infections naturally, and how can someone maintain a healthy vaginal microbiome? Are there any natural or Ayurvedic remedies that help treat and prevent vaginal infections? I’ve heard that Neem, Aloe Vera, and Yogurt (probiotics) can help restore vaginal health—do these actually work? If anyone has had a vaginal infection, what was the cause, and what treatments worked best? Did lifestyle changes, diet, or natural remedies help prevent future infections?
