Yeast Infection - What is It?

Microscopic yeast or fungi cause a yeast infection when they multiply too quickly. Candida albicans is the most common form of the fungi and yeast. You may not know you have a problem until the candida yeast become so numerous that symptoms show up. Studies show that 80-90% of people in the USA have a yeast infection. The percentage is similar in other developed countries.

The vaginal infection is quite common and causes itching and pain, and usually a discharge.
Men, women and children can all get yeast infections anywhere on the body. Men can get a yeast infection in the genital area.

Babies' diaper rash is often a yeast infection.

Another symptom of yeast infections is a rash on the body of males and females of all ages.

A candida infection of the mouth, throat and tongue is painfully red covered with white curd-like spots.
Infections often also occur in moist warm areas such as underarms, in skin folds and under breasts.
It can also grow under the nails.

The diagnosis of candidiasis is often missed. If the yeast is not diagnosed or treated properly it can be dangerous. Left untreated, a yeast infection can spread and attach itself to the organs and vessels of the entire body. The yeast infection is likely to become chronic. You are most likely to get a systemic yeast infection if you have a chronically weakened immune system.

A yeast infection can also cause a host of less-obvious symptoms in the body. Do you have any of the following symptoms?

o Painful Sex or Sexual Dysfunction

o Vaginal Odor

o Premature Aging

o Leaky Gut Syndrome

o Vaginal Discharge

o Arthritis

o Painful Urination or Other Urinary Disorders

o Depression or Mood Swings

o Chronic Rashes

o Weight Gain

o Tiredness or Fatigue

o Irritability

o Joint Pain or Swelling

o PMS

o Feeling Run Down

o Digestive Pain

o Muscle Aches

o Short Attention Span

o Hand Pain

o Hip and Knee Pain

o Headaches or Migraines

o Acne

o Respiratory Infections

o Impotence

o Gas and Bloating

o Hypoglycemia

o Menstrual Pain

o Skin Lesions

o Shortness of Breath

o Food Allergies

o Learning and Memory Problems

o Eczema

o Jumpy Legs

o Blurred Vision

o Brain Fog

o Oral Yeast Infection (Oral Thrush)

o Male Yeast Infection

o Yeast Infections in Your Toe or Fingernails

Having any of these symptoms does not mean that you definitely have a yeast infection. They may also be symptoms of other disorders. However, an all-natural, holistic approach will also cure those candidiasis problems.

When you simply treat the yeast infection with medication or natural remedies you don't get the longterm cure that's possible. So pills and creams from the pharmacy do usually take away the obvious symptoms for a while. But the symptoms will return.

Many people also get short-term relief with natural remedies. It is possible to change the inner environment of the body and be rid of the yeast infection for ever.

It's important to treat your yeast infection in the right way in order to cure it completely. My life has changed so much since I got rid of the yeast infection completely. For example, having good energy is wonderful! And it's fantastic not to itch and scratch any more.
