Preventing a vaginal Candida infection is a problem thousands of women would like to be able to do. And for some women it's an inconvenience that is ruining their life on a regular basis. For some sufferers they have the same triggers that are the first step to the discomfort in their vagina, and they immediately know they have another fungal infection. What most women don't understand is that most Candida infections can be prevented especially if they know what is causing them, and they realize they can do anything about it.

Antibiotics are now the biggest cause of vaginal Candida infections, and there's one main reason why too many women need antibiotics, and that is to treat a UTI. Approximately 10 million women in America will go to see their doctor in the next 12 months with a bladder infection. That's 10 million women being prescribed antibiotics to cure their infection. Of those 10 million 30 to 40 percent will need another prescription because the first course didn't cure their bladder infection. With every course of antibiotics that is taken the likelihood of a reoccurrence of the infection increases, and along with this the opportunity of being infected with the mutated Candida fungus.

Antibiotics kill your colony of beneficial bacteria that live in your intestines and on your skin. With your beneficial bacteria destroyed your body is open to any type of infection, and the most common infection after a course of anti bacterial drugs is a yeast infection. Your beneficial bacteria are also needed to strengthen your immune system, and the weakening of this crucial defense structure for your body is another big reason why the harmless Candia yeast changes into an aggressive fungus.

To avoid using antibiotics for a UTI you can cure your infection with a natural treatment. A natural cure is not only more beneficial for your health but you'll treat your infection in a much faster time.

A drug free remedy will work in about 12 hours, and antibiotics will need at least 3 days. If you've used antibiotics regularly in the past then you'll probably need a longer course as the infection causing bacteria in your body slowly build up resistance with every time you take them. That includes the occasions you've taken antibiotics on other infections such as stomach infections. The reason antibiotics need to be taken for a specific length of time is they need to eliminate all of the bacteria in your body. Any E coli that are left after you finish your course of pills will become resistant so if suffer from another infection you'll need a stronger course of treatment.

A home cure for your bladder infection only needs to flush out the bacteria that are infecting your urinary tract. There's no need to kill the bacteria living in your bowel colon as they live there naturally anyway. Because there's no reason to eliminate them you don't need antibiotics.

If you find you suffer from regular urinary tract infections, and then you get a yeast infection after your treatment you now have an alternative way of treating your UTI. Most women haven't caught op to this yet, and know that their next bladder infection means they need to cure a yeast infection straight afterwards.
