Step 1
The first step is determining if you really do in fact have a vaginal infection. The best way to do this is to schedule an appointment with your gynecologist, and have him or her give you a pelvic exam, and swab the walls of your vagina to later send the sample off to the lab to get tested.
-
Step 2
The next step is knowing what type of vaginal infection you have. There are many types of vaginal infections. You should know the type of infection you have by checking your test results.
-
Step 3
After you've identified what kind of infection you have, you can move forward. You doctor will probably prescribe you medications to take for your vaginal infection. It's important to take the medications your doctor prescribed. Don't both self treating if prescription medications work.
-
Step 4
You are now at the step where you have taken prescription medications, yet they don't work. What you need to do is take a probiotic. Probiotics contain beneficial bacteria that your body needs to stay healthy. There are many types of probiotics. It's important to choose the right one for your problem. Your problem happens to be vaginal. So, choose a probiotic that is specifically made to promote vaginal health. There are two probiotics out as of "now" that promote vaginal health. They are called Rephresh Pro-B and Femdophilus. Research the strains contained in these probiotics.
-
Step 5
Drink plenty of water. Water is important for the proper function of your body and it helps eliminate wastes.
-
Step 6
Practice proper nutrition. The Harvard Food Pyramid is an excellent example of the amount of servings of each food group you should be getting regularly. Many people get sick because they aren't getting the vital nutrients that their bodies need. Fruits and vegetables are very complex, and not even multi-vitamins can replace the nutrients that they contain.
-
Step 7
Eat plain organic yogurt with live active cultures. Yogurt contains beneficial bacteria, lactobacillus or "good" bacteria, that prohibits the growth of "bad" bacteria. The thing about the beneficial bacteria in yogurt is it only colonizes the digestive tract, which is okay, because it prevents infections from happening in the first place. Eating yogurt everyday helps prevent infections, but it does not treat active infections.
-
Step 8
Exercise. Believe it or not, exercising increases your T-cell production. T-cells are important for proper immune function. With good immune function, your body will fight off the infection more easily.
-
Step 9
Get plenty of sleep. If your not getting plenty of sleep, your body isn't getting enough time to heal and repair itself. Sleep is vital for proper immune function.
-
Step 10
There are also herbs that you can experiment with. I always advise that you research a new method before trying it. There are many fake treatments out there that do not work. It's important that you are fully aware of that before trying something new.
Green tea contains many antioxidants that are beneficial for overall health. Try drinking it daily.
