Treatment of Toilet Infections and Home Remedies

Getting the right diagnosis is the key to proper treatment of toilet infection.

You must be able to tell the symptoms and describe the color, texture, smell, and quantity of discharge you might be having.

Bacterial Vaginosis
This is treated majorly by antibiotic. Antibiotics usually work well and have few side effects. But taking them can lead to a vaginal yeast infection. Metronidazole (flagyl) is an effective drug for toilet infection.

Home remedies to encourage healing of bacterial vaginosis include

Garlic: Peel off the skin and insert this into the vagina allowing it to remain overnight. This may be done once every day until the infection goes away.

Apple cider vinegar: This is another effective natural remedy for vaginal infections. Mix a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar with two cups of water and add a fresh clove of garlic. Allow the solution to stand for some time so that the nutrient in the garlic can be absorbed and then use it for douching.

Vaginal Yeast Infection
For mild cases, vaginal creams can be very effective. For severe and recurrent cases of yeast infection, vaginal clotrimazole and oral fluconazole may be administered.

Avoid douching when you have vaginal yeast infection as douching may promote the yeast infection and spread it to the cervix and into the uterus.

Home remedies for yeast infection are

Yogurt: A common home remedy for yeast infections is to immerse a tampon in yogurt and insert it into the vagina. This may be done twice on daily basis until the symptoms subside.

Garlic: Inserting garlic over night is also an effective home remedy
