Rectal Yeast Infection
Cure Yeast Infection On The Asshole
As mentioned in the post What Are Yeast Infections, you will have learned that candida yeast infections prefer to spread in warm moist environments where skin rubs against skin, so what friendlier place to multiply than between the buttocks in the rectal region. This yeast infection on the asshole can affect both men and women.
Follow the same measures that I mention in the post Yeast Vaginitis but to save you surfing around I’ll repeat it here:
Clothing: Wearing clothing that is too tight or close fitting creates almost perfect conditions for a rectal yeast infection to develop. Avoid it.
Avoid wearing nylon underwear as it is estimated that wearing man-made fibers next to the skin in this way can triple your chances of getting a yeast infection. Stick to unbleached cotton underwear if at all possible, because it allows the rectal area to ‘breathe’.
Change your underwear frequently – at least once a day is a minimum – and do not sleep wearing underwear. Underwear that is ‘clogged’ with dirt creates ideal conditions for the yeast to become a mold.
After washing your underwear, boil it for five minutes to make sure that all of the yeast cells that survive the washing process are killed, or press them with an iron that is set as hot as possible to achieve the same end result. I have even heard of people ‘nuking’ their undies in the microwave for a couple of minutes, but be careful if you do, as it might just completely destroy your favorite items!
If you have been swimming, avoid staying in your wet costume for any longer than necessary. The wet bottom half of the costume creates conditions where your skin cannot breathe, allowing yeast to flourish.
Chemicals: Avoid using strong, non-natural soaps, because there is a fair chance that the chemicals in these soaps are not good for you (especially in such a delicate area of the body).
They also wash away the ‘good’ bacteria that help keep the yeast under control, so instead of washing being a valuable aid to keeping yeast at bay, you are actually achieving the opposite if you use soap that contains chemicals in it.
The same is true of bubble bath or shower gel solutions, and douches that are not 100% made of natural ingredients should be avoided as well.
Beware of clothes that contain dyes and inks for the same reason. The chemicals in them may irritate the anal area, and heavily dyed clothing (especially underwear) may not ‘breathe’ well.
Even those scented, dyed toilet tissues that seem like such a great idea to make the bathroom a ‘nicer’ environment have been known to cause yeast infections on the asshole. Plain, unbleached toilet tissue is a far better option than any of the fancy, more expensive ’boutique’ varieties, as well as being cheaper.
Taking an acidophilus supplement or eating yogurt with live cultures in it will both help you lower your risk of yeast infections. These additions to your diet increase the "good bacteria" count in your body so that your body will be able to fight off the ill effects of yeast. Yogurt is also a good topical treatment which can soothe the skin as well as cure an infection.
Although yeast infections on the asshole go hand-in-hand with extreme itching, try not to scratch, as scratching will only irritate the area more. In addition, you don’t want to take the risk of touching the infected area and then spreading the infection by touching another area of the body with that same hand. Instead, follow the techniques out-lined in this post together with the best homeopathic yeast infection cure to fix the infection and keep yourself free of future infections.
