cakes and pastries, hormonal level changes, a course of antibiotics,or any damage to the immune system.
A yeast infection caused by any of the previous triggers will result in itching and burning sensations in the affected areas, often accompanied by a clear or coloured discharge.
Although a number of products are commercially available to help soothe the discomfort brought by yeast infection, you might find these products a little expensive or buying them would be quite inconvenient or you need the remedy this instant.
Also, there might be a chance that the fungi develop a resistance to commercially available medicines.
Some of the remedies that have been recommended include the use of borax especially if the infection causes discharge that looks like egg white; If menstruation is accompanied by burning and itching then try applying calcarea carbonica; Another good treatment for a discharge which itches and burns is kali bichromicum; sulphur; natrum muriaticum; pulsatilla; and sepia.
