In this informative video, Liesbeth Demuyser explains the factors that contribute to yeast infections and how to treat them. She emphasizes the importance of a balanced vaginal microbiome, which includes various microorganisms like Lactobacilli that help maintain a healthy pH level. However, when the balance is disrupted, Candida albicans yeast can multiply and cause infections. Factors such as hormonal changes, antibiotics, lower immunity, semen, tight clothing, and soaps can all contribute to the susceptibility of yeast infections. Treatments usually involve antifungal medications, but there is also promising potential in using probiotics containing harmless yeasts to reduce inflammation and keep Candida in check. Overall, this video highlights the need for more research and understanding of the vaginal microbiome and women's health.
