| Beating Candida With Diet and Nutrition |

Many women (and men) suffering from yeast infections resort to the
remedies found in a drug store: creams, suppositories, and other
"medical" remedies. The problem with these is that they tend to help
for only a short period of time and then the yeast comes back with a
vengeance. In my experience, there are other, more effective ways to
combat this evil menace.
Probiotics
are those little bacteria numbering in the billions that help you live
a good healthy life. They help to process food and enhance the
absorption of B vitamins. You can end the chronic yeast infection that
plagues you by simply starting a daily long term use of probiotics.
Do
not use deodorant sprays, which are unnecessary and which contain
chemicals that can irritate the vaginal lining. Moreover, it is
important to note that the vagina cleanses itself by secreting a
discharge which flow downward, removing bacteria, old cells, and
menstrual blood when present. Normal vaginal discharge is minimal and
is either clear or white and sticky.
Chronic yeast infection is
indicated by a variety of symptoms depending on the specific type of
infection. In the case of women, for example, vaginal infection by
yeast shows in recurring symptoms of itching, sensation of burning, and
abnormality in discharge. Gastrointestinal infection is shown by
symptoms of heartburn, bloating, constipation or diarrhea. Respiratory
allergies with sneezing and wheezing is another indicator of the
condition. Menstrual abnormalities in women can also point to infection
with yeast. Anxiety, depressed mood, frequent memory lapses, and lack
of concentration are all symptoms associated with the effect of chronic
candidiasis on the nervous system. Fatigue, headache, and irritability
are some of the other general symptoms associated with yeast infection.
You
can buy yeast infection treatments over the counter (OTC) in drugstores
without a prescription from the doctor. Some examples of common
treatments are: Miconazole, Tioconazole, Butoconazole and Clotrimazole.
Unfortunately, these treatments only treat the symptoms and should not
be considered cures. These treatments can also be dangerous to use and
most women develop a tolerance to them after extended use. The only way
to cure yeast infections is to treat the root cause through natural
means.
Chronic yeast infections have signs and symptoms that
vary depending on the location of the infection. This infection is very
common to women. Its signs and symptoms consist of a white discharge
that is itchy and irritating to the vagina. It can affect the
surrounding outer tissues of the anus where a moist patch appears on
the contiguous skin of the anus. Candida yeast infections also cause
pain during sexual intercourse and a burning sensation during urination.
It
has been found yeast infections affects three out of four women. In the
United States, nearly 50% of college women have been diagnosed with
yeast infection at the early age of 25 and almost 5% of those diagnosed
go on to develop chronic yeast infections. Candidiasis can be easily
treated but you should know and understand how it can be prevented so
it will not lead to serious infections. |
