Chronic Candida infections are now ruining the health of 5% of women worldwide. If you're suffering from chronic fungal infections I can tell you now you're not alone in your suffering. The great news is there is a definite cause of your chronic Candida infections, and once you have discovered this you can easily treat yourself naturally.

OTC anti Candida creams

Over the counter anti yeast creams are a major cause of chronic Candida infections. Large numbers of women, everyday, are buying these creams when they don't need to use them. Many women appear to believe that these anti Candida creams can be used to ward off a Candida infection, and this could not be any further from the truth.

When you use an OTC anti yeast cream it will force the harmless Candida yeast inside your vagina to change into a fungus. It mutates to shield itself from the cream that is used to wipe it out. Apart from the side effects of these creams they are fairly harmless to use for one week to treat a Candida infection, the Candida will not have time to mutate and become resistant to the cream.

this mutating happens when the cream is over used for no reason that the Candida transforms, becomes resistant, and then becomes the reason for recurring fungal infections that become seemingly impossible to cure. And as more of the OTC treatment is used in an attempt to cure the chronic fungal infections the transformed Candida is further adapting to the environment.

Antibiotics and fungal infections

Antibiotics are the biggest cause of chronic yeast infections. Similar to OTC creams, antibiotics force the Candida to transform in its fight against a medicine that is endlessly trying to kill it. As well as killing fungus and bacteria that the oral anti fungals are intended for, the antibiotics kill all of your friendly bacteria that are a piece of your system's natural barriers against funguses like Candida.

Antibiotics also damage your body's cells, and this results in problems like a weakened immune system which is another one of your systems defenses against infections.

Underlying health condition

Another cause of your chronic yeast infections could be an underlying illness. This is why it's very essential that you visit your doctor at the first sign of any reoccurrence of your yeast infection. Diabetes and the HIV/AIDS virus are a couple health conditions that are responsible for chronic yeast infections.

If you're suffering from diabetes you will be able to get it under control with the correct medication, then you can can get down to successfully curing yourself.

If you have AIDS/HIV then you'll probably be on constant medication due to the fact that your immune system will be too low to fight of the Candida.
