Yeast infection, or Candidiasis as it is known medically can be awefull to live with. The vast number of symptoms make it difficult to live your life normally, I know from past experience. The infection itself is caused by the yeast-like fungus, Candida most commonly Candida Albicans. The fungus thrives in warm, moist environments meaning that it is ver easy to become infected. In humans it is a normal inhabitant, and it does not normally cause any adverse effects to it's host.However, the trouble comes when there is an overgrowth of the fungus, increasing its numbers within the vagina.
There are a number of reasons why this overgrowth may occur. One of these potential causes is the recent use of antibiotics. These kill other competing cells allowing the fungus to multiply. Clothing such as nylon that prohibits the escape of moisture from the skin surface is also a contributing factor. The symptoms include:
vaginal itching
vaginal burning
vaginal irritation
vaginal discharge
Experiencing any of these symptoms means it is likely you have the infection. There are many other symptoms of this ailment, a list of which can be found at my blog.
There are a number of drugs and creams on the market that can clear the fungus. Despite this, it is likely that the fungus will return once more. This is the reason a natural treatment of yeast infection is more effective than drugs. you can be taught to get rid of the infection once and for all from other sources.
