Anal Yeast Infection:
Signs, Treatment & Tips

Everyone has heard of yeast infections. 

Unfortunately, there are a lot of myths out there regarding how a yeast infection occurs, who can get them, and how to treat them. 

Yeast infections are not something only women suffer from, and they are not relegated to the vaginal area. 

Not everyone is aware that you can get an anal yeast infection. 

It is relatively simple to get and can be present without you even knowing. 

It is important to know that it exists and equally important to get treatment for it. 

How Can You Get It?

There are many things that cause anal yeast infections or increase your risk of having one.  Here's a few examples:

• They can be sexually transmitted.
• Using lubricants or condoms with spermicidal lubricant.
• Tight clothing can trap sweat and cause infections to develop.
• Diabetics and people who are overweight are at a higher risk for this infection.
• If you're pregnant there's a higher chance you might develop an infection.
• Moisture and heat (along with the presence of yeast) are one of the most common causes of Candida.

What Are The Warning Signs?

No two people who have the same medical condition ever experience the exact same symptoms, but there are similar things that can occur, such as:

• Anal itching
• Redness
• Small blisters with a purple hue
• Dry and or peeling skin
• A burning pain during bowel movements or intercourse

Treatment

Killing the fungus that causes the infection is the only way to get rid of an anal yeast infection.  There are many ways available to do that.  You can use over the counter medication, home remedies, or prescriptions. 

The over the counter medication available includes antifungal creams, suppositories, mouthwashes, and lozenges. 

These are generally available at any drugstore or large retail store.  They are a prime choice for a lot of people simply because they are easily accessible and fairly inexpensive.

There are also alternatives, such as home remedies for anal yeast infection.

As with all home remedies, you need to weigh your options and make an informed decision.  All home remedies may not work on all people.  Some home remedies that have been used are:

• Apply yogurt to the infected area.
• Add buttermilk to your diet.
• Minimize the amount of alcohol you drink daily.
• Minimize the amount of sugar you take into your body.

Again, home remedies work for some people and not for others.  Always make an informed decision before attempting a home remedy.  If you do attempt a home remedy, be sure to try something else if it does not work. 

There are also prescription medications that are available for the treatment of anal yeast infections.  Both prescription antibiotics and antifungal medications are easily obtained through a trip to your doctor.

Just remember, it is very important to take care of any infection you develop.  Infections can be dangerous and cause damage that you are unaware of until there is a real problem.

How to Cure Anal Yeast Infections

So how does one go about treating anal yeast infections? There are many ways, and the things that get recommended over and over again are over-the-counter medications such as creams and pills.

These might work for you, or they might not. The thing about them is that they do not cure the underlying cause, so in most cases the anal yeast infection will keep coming back.

If you're worried, then by all means go and see your doctor or natural health practitioner.

If you're like me, you'd rather find someone who has done it before and has a proven track record of successfully getting rid of Candida forever with a natural Candida cleanse.

The product that I recommend is called Yeast Infection No More. I have tested their product and support and it is excellent, I usually get a friendly reply within a few hours.

It is a refreshing change from all of those companies that are trying to sell you their product and if you have a question their support is nowhere to be found! But these guys were different, so I liked that.

They also offer an 8-week 100% money back guarantee, so you get your money back if it doesn't work or if you don't like it.
