Yeast infections are so popular now with 75% of women suffering from at least one infection during their life that they are not treated as serious as they should be. For some women they get an infection, and to them a trip to the chemist/drug store to get an OTC yeast cream is the answer. What they don't realize is yeast infections are caused by an aggressive fungus that can potentially destroy their health. And an infection can be a reason that their health isn't as good as it should be.

Symptoms of a yeast infection are caused by the fungus feeding on the skin cells of the body. This means that all the itching and burning in and around your vagina is because you have an aggressive fungus feeding on your body. Fungus just doesn't make a home anywhere, it has to be their for a reason, and this is what needs to be discovered for many women before they are completely cured. Many women are just interested in curing their symptoms.

Chronic vaginal yeast infections are a sign that something else is wrong such as a health condition, illness or weakened immune system. A doctors appointment can be completely missed because of the ease in which anti fungal yeast creams can be purchased. This means they don't get their health checked for any underlying conditions that could be causing their infections.

Yeast in your intestines can completely destroy your health if the Candida is not eliminated from your body. Because the yeast enjoys feeding on your skin cells, when it lives in your intestines it will feed on the cells of your digestive tract. This feeding causes digestive disorders at first, and after a while the fungus will eventually feed on the walls of the intestines until they are perforated.

Once the walls of your intestines have been perforated you will start suffering from symptoms that neither you or your doctor will associate with a yeast infection. The toxins from the yeast, and tiny food particles will enter your bloodstream through the perforations, and start causing internal problems.

The most common symptoms of Candida toxins in the blood are aching muscle and joints, concentration problems, mood swings, foggy brain and many more. Because the symptoms are different for everyone, this is why a doctor can't diagnose an intestinal yeast infection.

Once the harmless Candida yeast mutates into an aggressive fungus it can get very destructive. If you suffer from more yeast infections than the average then a check up at your doctors may find a hidden cause Your infections will be a lot easier to treat once you know what is causing them.
