I grow up with yeast infections for years. My first visit to doctor was when I was about 16 years old. Very often, I would get vaginal discharge, itching, burning sensation and painful urination.

I’ve been to doctors many times than I can remember and taken medications repeatedly. There is no single pill, cream, lotion, douche that I’ve not used. I’ve tried them all and nothing works effectively.

The only thing works temporarily for me was Diflucan, but symptoms came back full blown as soon as I stopped. I was even more painful and lasted longer each time.

A lot of people are still relying on drugs prescribed by doctors and over-the-counter drugs as their yeast infection cure. These drugs are very effective but there are some disadvantages associated with them. For one thing, they are very expensive and some of them even have nasty side effects. What causes a yeast infection by the way? Does it affect everyone?
