Yeast Infection Symptoms in Women

Posted on: 29-01-2011

Yeast Infection Symptoms in women are conditions that are causing many women to suffer in silence. Women with vaginal infections are often anxious and stressed. The foul smell from the vagina and the extreme itch that they are feeling always interfere in their daily life activities and also personal relationship.

This article will shed some light on the various yeast infection symptoms in women and also give some tips and remedies to help you cope with this condition.

One of the tell-tale signs of a yeast infection is when the vagina produces thick white discharge that has a horrible smell. Normally, when you have an infection, the natural lubricant that the vagina always produce will stop hence the painful sexual experience. Your husband might also contracted the disease from you if no protection was being used during intimate moments.

Another yeast infection symptoms in women that are commonly heard are the painful sensation during urinating. Most women will feel a burning sensation while urinating or after urinating. Some may experience mild symptoms while there are others who are greatly affected by the pain that it is almost impossible to urinate. Apart from those symptoms mentioned above, a woman who has yeast infection will have severe vagina itch.

Usually the area that are affected most is the vulva and could be resulted by the foul smell discharge that comes out from the vagina. This itchiness can be so severe that the sufferer could literally do nothing but to scratch it often.This constant scratching will then cause blistered skin around the vagina and add up to the sufferings.

To get rid of yeast infection fast, you can try this natural home remedies in the next five minutes.

Take a clean garlic clove and insert it into your vagina. Let it be for about 20-30 minutes. The anti-fungal properties that are inherent in garlic will help to relief your symptoms.
Take an unsweetened yogurt and soak it with a tampon. Next you need to insert the tampon into the vagina and let it be for about 20-30 minutes. You can also use your finger to apply the yogurt around the affected areas.
Take about 2-3 teaspoons of tea tree oil and dilute it with a pail of distilled water. Once this is done, you can use the solution to wash your private part thoroughly. Be sure to get it mix properly as tea tree oil is very concentrated and potent.

There are many other factors to consider in order for you to be cured permanently. One of them is proper diet and good hygiene practice. But for quick relief from vaginal infections, the methods that I have mentioned above should do the trick.

N.E. hospital getting women’s health overhaul

The provincial government is spending almost $12 million to improve the women’s health program at the Peter Lougheed Centre in Calgary, officials announced on Thursday.

The money is going to be used for obstetrical services, redeveloping the neonatal unit, the labour facilities and a dedicated operating room at the northeast hospital, Alberta Health Services (AHS) officials said.

“This expansion and redevelopment will help us better serve our growing population,” said Dr. Doug Wilson, who is in charge of obstetrics and gynecology for AHS.

The 32,000-square foot project, which is still in the design phase, will see most of the third floor at the Peter Lougheed Centre (PLC) renovated, officials said.

Construction is slated to begin by the end of the year.

The PLC now delivers 5,835 babies annually. The expansion will provide capacity for 7,000 births per year, officials said.

Poor women fall through a crack in the health-care system

CHICAGO — If you aren’t familiar with the Philadelphia doctor recently charged with eight counts of murder performed in a squalid abortion clinic, you’ve been spared the nightmarish details of the horrors the women and babies allegedly suffered at Kermit Gosnell’s hands.

The 69-year-old general practitioner, who was not certified to perform abortions, ran what prosecutors described in a 281-page grand jury document as “a baby charnel house” littered with fetal remains along with cat urine and excrement. The document detailed an outfit ironically named the Women’s Medical Society bearing little resemblance to any health facility, executing medical procedures with broken medical equipment and used supplies on bloodstained furniture and blankets.

The case has set off alarm bells about government oversight of such clinics. The grand jury said it believed the clinic fell through the cracks because “the women in question were poor and of color, and because the victims were infants without identities, and because the subject was the political football of abortion.”

The reality is that situations like this occur all over the country. Strip away the politics of women’s reproductive choice and the moral debates about a baby’s right to life and what you have left is a case study on the shameful lack of access to health care that poor women have. Though it’s difficult to not view such a tragedy through the lenses of emotion or ethics, we must.

“This is a much bigger issue than the complications of abortion politics,” said Alina Salganicoff, director of women’s health policy for the Kaiser Family Foundation. “There are well-documented disparities in health-care access, so it’s a complicated situation. In many cases, poor women don’t have the money or access to good information about preventative care or quality care.”

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s “Health Disparities and Inequalities Report — United States, 2011″ found that 17 percent of all women 18-64 had no health insurance. For both men and women, the percentage of the poor without health insurance was 37 percent versus 8.9 percent for the non-poor.

Though it is true that a certain percentage of those living in poverty qualify for Medicaid, preventive screening and care options on reproductive issues are limited even though for women, reproductive health is nearly synonymous with general health.

A 2009 survey by the Kaiser Family Foundation — “Putting women’s health-care disparities on the map: Examining racial and ethnic disparities at the state level” — stated that women of color, like those who sought care in that Philadelphia clinic, fared worse than white women across a broad range of measures.

“All these things are tied together,” said Gaylon Alcaraz, executive director of the Chicago Abortion Fund. “Women who are trying to survive on food stamps and Medicare and go to clinics to access reproductive health care or services generally don’t have a regular doctor. That’s when people take advantage of poor women who have no place left to go — there is always a supply for the demands of women in situations where they can’t access treatment for their health issue.”

The shock of what apparently occurred in one last-resort clinic will eventually fade, but another example of such horror will surely pop up sooner or later.

According to the Guttmacher Institute, the number of women 15-44 covered by private insurance fell from almost 39 million in 2008 to 36.7 million in 2009 as widespread job losses caused many Americans to lose employer-provided insurance.

The institute’s research shows that in 2009 nearly half of all low- and middle-income women wished to delay pregnancy or limit the number of children, but reported skimping on or eliminating their contraceptive use entirely to save money — the forewarning of more tragedies to come.

The official Wear Red Day is Feb. 4, and both men and women are invited to visit their local fire station to get their blood pressure taken, then plug that number into My Life Check, to get their heart-health score (and a customized plan to improve it).

Other deals and events to look for:

Macy’s is offering deals if you stop by the department store wearing red between Feb. 2 and 6. If you aren’t wearing red, you can buy a red dress pin for $2 and receive the all-day savings. Macy’s will donate 100 percent of the proceeds from the sale of the pins to Go Red For Women.

Boomer women and their doctors reluctant to talk about bladder & other health problems

There appears to be a communications gap between female baby boomers and their doctors, according to a Harris Interactive survey sponsored by Swedish personal hygiene manufacturer SCA.
The Boomer Women’s Health Survey (of North Americans aged 45 or older) finds these women have increased personal health needs as they enter midlife but only 16% are likely to discuss their symptoms with a doctor. 67% were less likely to see a doctor if they felt their symptoms were merely a “normal part of aging.” 26% felt uncomfortable, embarrassed or “judged” when discussing common health issues with their doctors. More than half (55%) would not contact their doctor at all, even if their symptoms got worse.

Dr. Cynthia Hall of Cedars-Sinai Medical Center says that as this generation enters midlife it’s common to experience potentially embarrassing problems like bladder control. Since most are not talking to their doctors about how to manage these problems, “they’re seeing their daily quality of life suffer unnecessarily.”

Dr. Hall also says doctors are not initiating conversations about such sensitive topics. Bladder weakness and low sex drive are the most embarrassing issues seldom raised by doctors. Bladder weakness affects about one in four women over the age of 40. The survey was conducted in association with SCA’s TENA brand: its Be TENAcious campaign encourages women to speak up about these health issues.

Department of Public Health webinar about HPV this Thursday

Springfield, Ill. —

In recognition of Cervical Cancer Awareness Month, the Illinois Department of Public Health Office of Women’s Health and STD Program are sponsoring a webinar called, “The Many Issues of Human Papillomavirus and Its Prevention.”

The focus of the webinar is to provide additional education to physicians, nurses and public health personnel about cervical cancer and human papillomarvirus (HPV), to help ensure they are able to provide people with the best information and care possible.

The webinar will provide information on the risk factors for HPV infection, HPV transmission, vaccination as a primary prevention for HPV infection, and the importance of cervical cancer screenings.

“Two types of HPV cause approximately 70 percent of cervical cancers. The more education we can provide to physicians and health care workers about HPV risk factors, transmission, vaccination and screenings, the better able we are to reduce the risk of cervical cancer and other cancers caused by HPV,” said Illinois Department of Public Health Director Dr. Damon T. Arnold.

Genital human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most common sexually transmitted infection. There are more than 40 HPV types that can infect the genital areas, mouth and throat of both women and men. Most people with HPV do not develop symptoms or health problems. In fact, in 90 percent of cases, the body’s immune system clears HPV naturally within two years. However, certain types of HPV can cause genital warts in men and women. Other HPV types can cause cancer, including cancers of the vulva, vagina, penis, anus, and head and neck (tongue, tonsils and throat), as well as cervical cancer.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved two vaccines that are highly effective in preventing infection with the two HPV types that cause most cervical cancers, with one vaccine also providing protection against most genital warts. Both vaccines are recommended for 11 and 12 year-old girls and can also be given to females 13 through 26 years old who did not get any or all of the three recommended doses when they were younger. These vaccines can also be given to girls as young as nine years old. The vaccines are most effective when given before sexual activity begins. The vaccines may not fully protect everyone and does not prevent all types of cervical cancer, so it is important to continue regular cervical cancer screenings.

Through routine screening and follow-up, cervical cancer is highly preventable and early detection through screening can significantly increase chances of survival. In 2011, a projected 590 women in Illinois will be diagnosed with cervical cancer and a projected 180 women in Illinois will lose their lives to cervical cancer.

I am now approaching a milestone birthday-my 50th. By this time, I have been on more diets than I care to even mention. I have tried the pre-packaged foods to the magic diet pill to the liquid diets. The moral of the story is that the only way to accomplish sustainable and permanent weight loss is by diet and exercise. By diet, I am not referring to carrots and celery-what I mean is a healthy meal plan complete with fruits, vegetables, proteins and lean meats. The best weight loss programs for women, are the ones that incorporate proper nutrition with exercise. What good is it if you lose the weight, and you look and feel terrible, so staving yourself is definitely not an option. The effectiveness of any weight loss program is to ensure sustainability-so what this entails is a lifestyle makeover, whereby proper nutrition and exercise are part of your daily life. It is all about permanent and healthy choices.

Exercise: Exercise is imperative for fitness and aids in rapid weight loss. Best forms of exercise to lose weight are to incorporate weight training and cardio. There is really no need to join a gym. Any form of cardiovascular activity, alternating with strength training at least 5 times per week for 50-60 minutes is the optimal formula for weight loss. I suggest purchasing a few exercise DVD’s along with a kettle bell and few sets of dumb bells. Now there is no reason to make an excuse why you cannot workout! You must set aside the time each day-either morning or evening or whatever time your schedule permits to exercise. You owe this time to yourself! You will feel better and it will allow you to handle your daily stresses better and before you know it you will look great! Your mind and body will thank you for it.

No Fad Diets: In order to achieve healthy weight you must stay away from fad diets. They do nothing for you but give you the illusion that you are losing weight when actually you are endangering your health. What fad diets do is that they rob your body of the necessary nutrients. This is best seen when you come off the diet and the pounds come back on and sometimes even more weight. The reason is this happens is because you have deprived your body if the essential fats, nutrients and calories it needs to function properly. So if you are on a fad diet stop immediately!

Plan Your Food Intake: Breakfast: The key element, start your day with a piece if fruit. Fruit will jump start your metabolism and the sooner you eat it the quicker the calories are burned. The natural sugar in the fruit gets absorbed as good sugar and will not to harm the body, unlike any other time. Wait half an hour after having the fruit and eat a breakfast that has cabs in it. Lunch: Include a balanced diet that has all the nutrients-proteins, fat, lean meats, soy coupled with many colorful vegetables. Each color has a different nutrient. Our bodies need each and everyday day for good health. Don’t deprive yourself. Dinner: Make your dinner the smallest portion of the day. Perhaps grilled fish, chicken and a salad. Avoid eating dinner too late. Try to have eaten at least 2 hours before bedtime. Get a good nights sleep. Sleep is a vital component to healthy weight loss.

Women tend to think that weight training means bulking up to look like body builders. Nothing could be further from the truth. For one, women body builders take steroids to pump up like men. And two, when women gain muscle, the muscles are lean, giving the body a slim and toned appearance. Adding a weight workout to your fitness regime is what you need to get that nice slender body that you want. And if you are in the process of trying to lose weight, weight training will give you what you need to drop the extra pounds. Training with weights, builds muscle and muscle burns fat. And once that fat sheds away, you will be delighted to see a feminine sculpted body begin to emerge.

Gym or Home, Where to Train?

Now to get started, you of course know that you will need some weight training equipment. If you have a gym membership you can use theirs and if not you can buy your own at any sporting goods store. Alternatively, you can order a weight training machine to place inside your home. You will want to get three sets of weights: light, medium and medium-heavy. How you determine the heaviness of the weight is based on your own strength.

Always, always remember that before you begin your weight training routine you must first warm up. A good warm up should last for about 15 minutes to get your muscles good and prepared. First stretch your whole body to warm your muscles. Then you need to get your heart ready with some form of light aerobic activity such as walking or cycling. Now you want to prepare your arm muscles by raising your arm over your head with your fingers laced together. Then rotate your palms facing the ceiling and pull your arms back slightly. Next you’ll move to your legs and place one hand on the wall, while the other hand grabs a foot on the opposite side of the body. Bring the foot up toward your back, hold for 20 seconds and repeat the same stretch with your other leg.

Next, here are some basic safety tips to keep in mind. It always a good idea to have a weight training partner. This is a matter of safety. With a partner, you two can spot one another and help each other out with lifts. Also think carefully about your gym apparel. You should only wear gym shoes and clothes that are not too baggy. If your clothes are too big, they can get tangled in the weight machines. In addition, never go outside of your personalized training routine. Trying to follow another person’s routine can cause you injury that can lead into pulled muscles or worse.

Finally, here are some ideas to help you structure your weight training workout. You can always tell if you are working with the correct weight, if you have difficulty completely the last rep. Let muscle exhaustion at the end guide you on which weight amount you should use. If you want to gain endurance, use light weights and use them for 12-16 reps. If more strength is what you are after, the you need to concentrate on doing a lower number of reps and using heavier weights. Finally for building lean muscles use medium to heavy weights at 8-12 reps
