Candidiasis, is mainly caused by the overproduction of yeast in the body, particularly in the vaginal area and in the rectal area.
It is commonly characterized by itching, swelling, and a white vaginal discharge.
Other symptoms brought about by a yeast infection are fatigue, pain while urinating and having sexual intercourse, lethargy, and headaches.
It can also occur in the mucus membranes in the gastrointestinal tract and the mouth.
According to the National Institute of Allergy And Infectious Diseases, more or less 75 percent of adult American women had at least a bout with vaginal yeast infection.
Around 40 to 45 percent of these women experience a recurrence, and about 12 to 15 percent of men were found out to have developed it as well after sexual intercourse with partners infected with it.
These data are quite alarming, and because of this, people should be educated on yeast infection treatments in order to prevent it from spreading.
Treating Candidiasis basically has to do with one thing, that is, to make sure that the number of friendly bacteria in the body, particularly in the areas affected, is able to control the yeast production happening all the time.
There are a number of different ways in treating yeast infections.
Choosing a treatment option that would really work depends on the extent of the infection and, at the same time, on the person suffering from it.
It is common in pregnant women, so a different treatment approach is necessary if this is the case to avoid developing pregnancy complications.
In order to find out how to treat a yeast infection the right way, the first thing you need to do is to consult a trusted physician.
Normally, your yeast infection treatment options would be one of the following or a combination of them:

1. Yogurt.
   This is because it contains friendly bacteria, like bifidus and acidophilus, that can destroy yeast.
   
2. Lactobacillus or acidophilus supplements.
   
3. A combination of vinegar and water.
   
4. Reduce the intake of sugar or foods that contain a lot of sugar since sugar helps promote the growth of yeast.
   
5. Garlic cloves.
   They can be used as suppositories.
   
6. Gentian violet or crystal violet, which is an antifungal agent.
   
7. Herbal douche combined with apple cider vinegar.
   
8. Over the counter medications as recommended or prescribed by your doctor.
   

It is always good to treat yeast infections in women with natural remedies since they do not exhibit negative side effects, unlike synthetic ones that may let you experience side effects like dizziness, headache, and abdominal pain.
To be able to determine the best treatment, though, make sure that you get the opinion of an expert.
