How can eating yogurt with active cultures prevent a yeast infection?

Question

Women often get yeast infections after taking antibiotics, because the drug kills off the natural bacteria and yeast takes over. I've heard that eating yogurt with active cultures can help replace the natural bacteria. But...how are those bacteria supposed to get from the digestive tract to the reproductive tract? Or does the yogurt only benefit the gut and does nothing to prevent yeast infections?

I doubt it could be through the bloodstream, because any bacteria in the blood is a serious medical condition. If it's across the skin, it would seem you'd have a hygiene problem.

I don't know who's right, so I'll put it up for a vote.

Answer 1

I actually got better results from eating the yogurt and even when taking actual acidophillous tablets. When you take either of these it goes thru the blood system and in to the digestive tract to help restore the balance of good bacteria there.

Taking acidophillous will help prevent yeast infections. I did it for some time taking the acidophillous tablets and it worked pretty well for me.

I would recommend checking with your dr to be on the safe side.

Answer 2

Hi, i know yougurt is so good for curing the disease,
Yogurt is an effective and potent natural approach for treating yeast infections. When the normal acidic balance is upset (pH), yeast thrives and grows. Yeast and bacteria do not like acid and restoring this natural balance is one of the mechanisms by which yogurt works.

The natural bacteria, Lactobacillus acidophilus, is friendly to the body and found inside the intestinal tract and vagina. This bacteria interacts with sugar found in the diet and actually attacks the yeast. The bacterial action on sugar generates hydrogen peroxide through the chemical process known as fermentation.

Answer 3

Hello, I'm on the second week and seeing definite improvement on my yeast infection symptoms:

Note that: If the yeast infection doesn't respond to over the counter treatment, prescription medication will likely be necessary. Similarly, if the symptoms return after two months of being treated, you should contact the doctor for professional treatment rather than resorting again to home treatment.

If this is the first time you have experienced a yeast infection, you should schedule an appointment to have the condition treated by a doctor instead of resorting to home treatment

Answer 4

the last poster is correct, you dont eat it.
twice i have had yeast infections from antibiotics and noth times i went and bought some plain yogurt....put it on where i was itchy and hurting every couple hours... it never had to be done more than 2 days.
also the cold yogurt is so soothing an insant remedy for fast relief is to use something like a medicine dropper squeeze the yogurt inside and then outside and youll feel much better,
good luck

Answer 5

through the blood, any bacteria in the blood is not a serious medical problem, only certain types of bacteria are, just like having certain types of bacteria in your vagina is perfectly accpetable. Bacteria is everywhere and goes everywhere. Inserting yogurt directly into your vagina is more effective though, but I don't know why alicat would hate to say it if it's true? A tampon soaked in buttermilk works also...
