Generally speaking, a vaginal yeast infection does not usually produce a serious risk, however, it does tend to affect the quality of life of the person suffering from it. <strong>Itching, stinging, dyspareunia, odorous vaginal discharge<\/strong>, among others, are some of the symptoms that can lead to excessive discomfort on the day to day life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">A vaginal yeast infection occurs when there is an<strong> alteration in the normal vaginal flora<\/strong>, producing an increase in acidity and the proliferation of bacteria that are harmful to the body. Wearing very tight latex or nylon underwear; antibiotics; tampons with toxic chemicals; among others, they can cause the incidence of these vaginal infections. A visit to a gynecologist is recommended for the <strong>proper treatment of vaginal yeast infection.<\/strong> Sometimes, when the problem can become chronic. In these types of cases, a vaginal exudate and specific treatment (which can sometimes last for months) are recommended.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><em><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><b>The menstrual cup and vaginal yeast infections<\/b><\/span><\/em><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">While there is no scientific evidence to causally associate the menstrual cup and vaginal yeast infections, it can indeed be simply uncomfortable to wear a menstrual cup during similar discomfort. In fact, since <strong>the menstrual cup does not absorb or irritate<\/strong>, it usually adapts to the body without affecting or worsening the vaginal infection context.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">For this reason, it is recommended that<strong> alternatives such as reusable cloth pads and menstrual cups<\/strong> such as the <strong><span style=\"color: #ae6dc3;\"><a style=\"color: #ae6dc3;\" href=\"https:\/\/sensualintim.com\/producto\/comprar-eureka-cup\/\">Eureka! Cup<\/a><\/span><\/strong>, are used during the menstrual period and a vaginal yeast infection. These sanitary products do not irritate, since they do not have additives, chemicals, or cellulose. Furthermore, we must not forget that a vaginal infection (punctual or chronic) requires <strong>adequate treatment<\/strong>. Both one (who suffers from the symptoms) and the couple.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400; font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">Moreover, to avoid a vaginal yeast infection it is recommended to avoid tight pants, use cotton underwear, reduce the consumption of antibiotics and, above all,<strong> eat a healthy and balanced diet.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: tahoma, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\"><strong>Get your own <a href=\"https:\/\/sensualintim.com\/producto\/comprar-eureka-cup\/\"><span style=\"color: #ae6dc3;\">Eureka!
