Vaginal yeast infection is a highly prevalent infection among women that causes many complications, including preterm labour, urinary tract infection, and reduced quality of life. In a new study, researchers at the Shahrekord University of Medical Sciences compared the clinical effect of ginger cream along with clotrimazole with vaginal clotrimazole alone. They found that although itching, burning, and cheesy secretions in ginger and clotrimazole group was lower than those in clotrimazole group, the difference was statistically significant only in cheesy secretions. For the study, a group was treated with vaginal cream mixed of yogurt and honey and the other with clotrimazole vaginal cream. Also, yogurt and probiotics are commonly used by women when they are infected with vaginal infection.
