[Y11]Yeast Infections Early Pregnancy

by Clare Richardson, Cla

Chronic yeast infections are an irritating problem for 5% of women worldwide. The most common reason that yeast infection become recurrent is sufferers don't know the cause of their infection. Until you discover the cause you have no chance of curing yourself.

The first thing you must do if you're suffering from chronic vaginal fungal infections is see your doctor. Your doctor can first establish that you do actually have a yeast infection. Many women think they have Candida overgrowth in their vagina, when in fact, they have another type of bacteria causing their symptoms, and have a completely different infection that is getting worse because it's not being correctly treated..

Your doctor can also rule out any health conditions that you could be suffering from that you don't realize you have. Diabetes and the HIV/AIDS virus are the two most common health issues that cause recurrent yeast infections. Your doctor can also check you over for anything that is affecting your immune system. A weak immune system can lead to any type of infection in your vagina.

A poor diet can cause Candida overgrowth in your vagina. Our modern day diet is high in sugar and refined carbohydrates, and the Candida yeast loves these foods. These foods also lack nutrition, and you need to get plenty of nutrition because it fuels your body, and it keeps your immune system strong.

Prescription medication is another cause of chronic yeast infections. The biggest cause is antibiotics. If you have taken antibiotics lately or regularly over a number of years then this could have upset your body's natural bacterial balance. Once antibiotics have caused an imbalance it always goes in favor of the Candida yeast. This is helped along with a diet that is high in sugar and refined carbohydrates.

If you've been attempting to cure your infection continually with the same treatment then the yeast will now be resistant, and that will contribute to the reoccurrence of your infections. The Candida yeast will mutate every time you apply your treatment or take your oral anti fungal drug. This creates a super yeast that easily survives the next course of treatment, and then becomes even stronger.

Too much female hygiene will upset the chemical and bacterial balance in your vagina. Many women, when suffering from an infection in their vagina will start douching to wash the infection out. What douching will do is, wash out friendly bacteria, and also change the environment to one that the Candida yeast favors.

Once you have discovered the cause of your chronic Candida infections you will be able to successfully cure yourself. There's no reason why anyone who doesn't suffer from any illness should be continually infected with recurrent Candida overgrowth.

Recurrent yeast infections now affect 5% of women worldwide. It doesn't matter where in the world you come from you can be affected by this growing problem. The truth is though, the more treatments available to you the more chance you have of suffering from chronic Candida infections. This is because the treatments you can get prescribed are now a big part of this ever-growing health issue.

Antibiotics use is the biggest cause of recurrent yeast infections. Antibiotics use is on the increase due to the ease in which doctors now prescribe them for all infections. This increase in prescription is increasing mainland intestinal fungal infections in women. Doctors don't mind this as you'll inevitably be going back for another prescription so you give them more revenue while they play God with your health.

Another cause of chronic Candida infections is over the counter, anti fungal yeast infection creams. Because so many women are now using these anti fungal creams more often than they should be they are creating resistant super yeast that are taking residence in their vaginas. The main reason they are causing resistant yeast is the fact that more women use the OTC yeast creams when they don't have a yeast infection. They use them for any irritation they get in the genital area so they are causing the Candida Albicans yeast to mutate into a fungus that is the cause of all their symptoms.

A poor diet that lacks nutrition, and is high in sugar and refined carbohydrates can cause Chronic yeast infections. The Candida Albicans yeast loves sugar and any sugar based foods, and loves refined and processed foods. A diet that lacks nutrition will weaken your immune system which is your body's natural defence against any type of infection. Your body becomes the perfect environment for the mutated Candida yeast when your immunity is low, and you're feeding the yeast with a poor diet

Certain medications like the birth control pill and steroids can cause Chronic Candida overgrowth in your vagina and intestines. If you're taking any of these drugs it's a good idea to speak to your doctor about them as they could be causing your vaginal and/or intestinal fungal infections.
