Causes Of Recurrent Yeast Infections

Recurrent Candida infections are now ruining the health of 5% of women worldwide. If you’re struggling to cope with recurrent fungal infections I can guarantee you’re not alone in your misery. The good news is there is a definite cause of your recurrent fungal infections, and as soon you have found out what it is you can easily cure yourself naturally.

OTC anti Candida creams

OTC anti fungal products are a major cause of recurrent yeast infections. Large numbers of women, everyday, are buying these products when they don’t need to use them. Many women seem to think that these anti Candida products can be applied to ward off a fungal infection, and this is the opposite of what will happen.

When you apply an over the counter anti fungal cream it will cause the harmless Candida yeast residing in your vagina to transform into a fungus. It does this to protect itself from the OTC treatment that is used to wipe it out. Apart from the side effects of these OTC treatments they are safe to apply for one week to treat a yeast infection, the yeast has no time to transform and become resistant to the OTC treatment.

It’s when the anti fungal remedy is over applied for no reason that the yeast mutates, becomes resistant, and then becomes the reason for chronic fungal infections that become seemingly impossible to cure. And as more cream is used in an attempt to cure your recurring fungal infections the mutated yeast is becoming stronger.

Antibiotics and fungal infections

Antibiotics are the biggest cause of chronic Candida infections. Like OTC treatments, antibiotics force the yeast to mutate in its battle against a medicine that is continually attempting to kill it. As well as wiping out the fungus and bacteria that the drugs are planned for, the oral anti fungals kill all of your beneficial bacteria that are one of your system’s natural defenses against yeast infections.

Anti fungal drugs also weaken your body’s cells, and this results in problems like a weakened immune system which is also one of your systems defenses against infections.

Underlying illness

Another reason for your recurrent fungal infections may be an underlying health condition. This is why it’s so important that you go and see your doctor when you first suspect any reoccurrence of your fungal infection. Diabetes and the HIV/AIDS virus are a couple health problems that are responsible for chronic fungal infections.

If you’re suffering from diabetes you can get it under control with a more suitable medication, then you can can get down to successfully curing your Candida infection.

If you’re suffering from AIDS/HIV then you will probably be on constant medication due to the fact that your immune system will not be strong enough to fight of the Candida.

Chronic yeast infections cures

If you have the misfortune of recurrent fungal infections, and under the impression that have no chance to cure yourself you do still have options of treatments left. And these options have helped tens of thousands of men and women eliminate from their bodies the mutated Candida so they can carry on their lives in excellent health.

Causes Of Yeast Infections

For any woman who has suffered a yeast infection, they will tell you it’s uncomfortable and more than just an annoyance. The National Women’s Health Information Service says over 75% of all women will suffer at least one yeast infection in their life. The rate is over 50% for another yeast infection.

The cause of yeast infection is a tiny one celled fungus called yeast. There are many types of yeast but the one most frequently causing yeast infections is the species Candida. When it overgrows it can cause a vaginal infection but it also can cause a mouth infection as well. A yeast infection is not only annoying, it become painful as well.

Now Candida is not a foreigner to the body. It grows normally on and inside the body. Candida especially likes to grow under moist, warm conditions. It can be found growing in the vagina, foreskin of the penis, and in skin folds. Normally the body keeps the level of yeast under control. In the vagina there is a specialized bacteria whose job is to keep the yeast from overgrowing. These bacteria keep the vagina acidic preventing the overgrowth of the yeast.

Unfortunately with things like stress, taking antibiotics, hormone changes of pregnancy and illness the yeast can overtake the body’s defenses. This is when the yeast overgrow and the result is what we call a yeast infection.

Burning and itching are the most commonly reported symptoms of yeast infection. There are many medications, treatments and ways of treating a yeast infection. Most prescription medications work to decrease the number of growing yeast cells. That means the symptoms are treated but not the underlying cause of the yeast infection.

What are some of the causes of yeast infection?

Taking antibiotics is one of the most common ways of getting a yeast infection. The antibiotic kills the helpful bacteria, which normally keeps yeast from overgrowing.

When you are stressed, you tax your body’s defense system. With the body trying to combat the effect of stress it is unable to fight off the overgrowth of yeast.

It’s hard to believe tight jeans can cause yeast infections. But it’s true. With tight jeans the sweat and heat of our bodies does evaporate. It’s all held tightly against the body creating the warm, moist environment yeast likes to grow in.

Hormone levels fluctuate wildly during pregnancy. These changing levels can lead to the ideal conditions for yeast to grow and grow leading to a yeast infection.

The body has a natural cleansing system in the vagina. When you douche you upset the natural balance and then the vagina can’t stop the overgrowth of yeast cells. Diabetes especially those with high or uncontrolled blood sugars are another cause of yeast infections. Yeast likes sugars as a food.

Yeast infection prevention is a topic you should discuss with your health care provider. There are many natural ways you can use to change your life and lifestyle to prevent yeast infections from happening.

Untreated Vaginal Fungal Infections

Untreated yeast infections are quite rare, and that’s because of the symptoms that accompanies them. But even with the painful symptoms of a vaginal fungal infection some sufferers will still try and see if their infection will clear on its own if they try and forget about it. The problem is, if the yeast infection is left untreated it will just spread and continue to do so for as long as its left untreated.

A fungal infection is caused by the mutated Candida which is an aggressive form of fungus. Once the normally harmless Candida mutates it changes into this fungus and it will have a feast on your body ’s cells until you decide to treat yourself. As well as feeding off of your body’s cells it will also have a feast on the food that you consume if you’re eating the wrong foods.

If your Candida infection is left untreated it will just get worse until the discomfort gets unbearable. Any fungus or bacteria will always get worse as it adapts easily to it’s surroundings. And the more you leave the fungal infection without treatment the more difficult it will be to cure. The Candida will sink it’s way into your skin in search of new cells to feast on. It doesn’t matter whether your cells are on your skin surface, inside your vagina or on the walls of your digestive tract, the Candida will love feeding on them.

Your fungal infection will get to the point where conventional OTC treatments will no longer kill the yeast as they won’t penetrate your skin deep enough to thoroughly treat your fungal infection. The OTC’s that you purchase will just wipe out the yeast on the surface of your skin as they just don’t get absorbed sufficiently for deep rooted yeast.

When the Candida that has survived your cure carries on infecting you it will get immune to the cure you’re using. It does this by mutating into a tougher Candida that becomes more difficult to rid yourself of.

If your fungal infection has also infected your intestines the burrowing of the mutated fungus will eventually perforate the walls of your intestines. This is commonly called leaky gut syndrome. This leads to the toxins created by the yeast entering your blood, and then these toxins will begin causing symptoms in other parts of your body.

The toxins from the Candida will begin invading your internal organs. Symptoms that you should begin suffering from include

Lethargy
Brain fog
Irritability
Forgetfulness
Aching joints
Persistent Candida infections
And many more

If you’re now in the position where you need to treat a deep rooted fungal infection in your vagina or intestines you can easily get guidance via the internet. There are a few very successful natural remedies purchasable to you among the hundreds that you will come across online.

Knowing which products to get hold of could have you treating your yeast infection from today. Once you have the knowledge you need to rid your body of the Candida you can go back to enjoying a healthy, energetic lifestyle.

You will learn how to starve and then kill the Candida, repopulate your beneficial bacteria and strengthen your immune system.
