If I have yeast infection can I still use tampons? My customers often ask me this. Although there is variation amongst specialists who comment on this problem, there is also a lot of information indicating a negative link between this problem and the use of tampons. In some articles in popular medical journals , tampons were even blamed as the cause of yeast infections.

The real cause of all subtypes of yeast infections is candidiasis or Candida infection that is caused by the Candida microbe, which multiplies out of bounds. When your body is weakened for example by diabetes, pregnancy, the use of antibiotics or other conditions that depress the immune system, this microbe then has the possibility to overgrow. It invades the blood, and makes its way to different parts of the body to generate the symptoms of candidiasis. Yet, the Candida organisms that live naturally in the body and that are kept in check by other beneficial bacteria form part of the system to digest food and defend our bodies against other parasites. In any case tampons do not cause yeast infection as might have been indicated elsewhere.

The fundamental causes of Candida are complicated and multidimensional. However, even if they are not limited to using any kind of toiletries, tampons that are scented, or use of scented soaps or feminine-hygiene sprays can all contribute to aggravating yeast infection of the vagina. Here are the reasons:

1. Scented tampons are known to be allergens. Because of this and the higher frequency of allergies, the immune system may be weakened and this will then increase the chance of a candida overgrowth.

2. Scented toiletries can also alter the acidity of the vagina making it more acid and stimulating candidiasis. The right ratio of negatively charged ions (alkaline) and positively charged ions (acid) must be observed. If the balance is upset, then health problems will follow.

This then means that you have very good reasons to prefer unscented soaps, tampons, pants, panty liners, toilet paper or sanitary pads. Your choice should always be for organic products and hypoallergenic products wherever available.

It is a full holistic treatment that will really work to eliminate Candida infection rather than just this small part of avoiding products that might be responsible for allergies. Although making careful selection of the tampons and toiletries product is necessary, it is not sufficient to fight yeast infection properly.
