Welcome to your first lesson in this mini eCourse that will guide you towards dealing with your yeast infection effectively and in a more informed way.
Having said that, let us jump straight into today's subject matter!
*Introduction to Yeast Infections and How to Identify Them*
Yeast infections have been called by many names. Candida, Thrush, Candidiasis and even Vaginitis. At the end of the day, they're all still yeast infections.
What we're talking about is the overgrowth of a fungus called Candida Albicans. Normally, this fungus will not cause an issue if found in our body, which happens quite often, but sometimes, things happen to us that upset the balance of good and bad bacteria in our system ( more on that in lesson 2). This imbalance leads to an overgrowth of this fungus and the condition is called Candidiasis. Or a Yeast Infection.
*Symptoms of Yeast Infection*
Yeast infection symptoms can actually indicate the onset of a more serious infection. It is crucial to double check with your doctor if you have never gotten a yeast infection before, or are unsure about the current infection you have.
Now, let us take a look at a few common symptoms of a yeast infection.
- Nursing mothers may have cracked, patchy or slightly blistered nipples, experience pain that can extend from nipples to the back
- An irritation around genitalia, usually a sort of itching
- The genitalia may also become very swollen
- A white, thick discharge that may look like cottage cheese with a slight starchy odour. This is more likely to happen for women with a vaginal yeast infection.
- A painful sensation during sexual intercourse
*Disclaimer: I am not a trained medical doctor. My advice is to help you make smart, informed decisions on treatment choices, not substitute the advice of a medically trained doctor. Always talk to a doctor or trained naturopath if you have any doubts at all or if you have never gotten a yeast infection in your life.
