Thrush in Men - If Only I Had Known This Before
Thrush in Men - If Only I Had Known This Before
To find a thrush cure today isn't easy. Where we used to have too little information, with the explosion of the internet there is now too much data! But first, what is thrush? It's a fungal infection residing in the mouth that starts when yeast levels increase. Candida albicans, as the fungus is called, proliferates, causing discomfort and pain. If you hear the name yeast infection it's effectively the same as thrush but refers to all over the body.
Yeast is not a foreign fungus to the body. Every healthy human has yeast. However, if the immune system is compromised in some way, the yeast levels are free to rise - which results in yeast infection. The change between an individual who is fit and a person who is not is simply how effectively the immune system performs.
What You Ought to Know Ahead of Treatment:
Before you start any treatment, it's important to know why thrush (the mouth) and genital yeast infection (vagina and the penis) happens in your body. With this understanding you can see improved results from the thrush cure for 3 reasons:
1. The symptoms you have will now be in context. By not having an understanding of the condition, how will you be able to accurately make decisions on your health? Further, its not uncommon for sufferers to no longer take medicine because they have read a 'feeling' incorrectly. Unluckily, these people don't get better, atleast very fast, because they stop taking what was making them improve.
2. The effectiveness of cures depends on many factors and your lifestyle (READ: Diet) can impede the results. By knowing what causes yeast infection you are able to evaluate your lifestyle and see where the weaknesses are. This, in turn, will make the cure a lot more effective.
3. Through grasping the nature of your condition it makes it so much easier to fight yeast infection.
The explanation why people suffer from thrush:
Immune System...
Antibiotic Use
- Good bacteria is killed by antibiotics. Its good bacteria that moderates your yeast levels.
Babies
- It's not uncommon for toddlers to come down with a yeast infection. Immune systems have to grow in effectiveness. Infants are basically born with a clean slate for an immune system.
Problems With Health
- Diabetes
- HIV
- Chemotherapy
- The Common Cold
While your immune system is fending off any disease it becomes more susceptible to others.
Relations...
Love-Making
- The fungal nature of yeast infection makes it spread spontaneously. Close intimacy of any form can often leave your immune system over powered so the disease can develop.
Oral Association
- Any contact through the mouth holds the similar premise as with the earlier title - only here, thrush is the result. A connection is made with an infected partner and the immune system becomes overwhelmed.
Personal Upkeep...
- Shower gels
- Toothpaste/Mouthwash
- Soaps
- Perfume
Some personal hygiene products can violate the natural pH balance of the genitals. Products that have been developed with pH levels in mind will do a lot to diminish the symptoms of yeast infection/thrush.
Thrush Cure:
Following, is a list of 100% organic and side-effect free treatments that, collectively, become a thrush cure.
Tea Tree Oil:Tea tree oil is a great antifungal solution. Use the oil with a clump of cotton.
Garlic -- Garlic assists in strengthing immunity. Use aged garlic extracts for best results. Garlic comes in many shapes and sizes, such as the capsules I mentioned earlier. Make it a staple in your diet, and stick with it after you've cured youself too! This is a win-win - free of side-effects (very rare) and swift action.
Cedar Vinegar (Apple) -- This age old choice brings a level of control to fickle yeast supplies.
Wear clothes that hang, leaving your system to breath easily. In addition, keep your clothes nice and dry. If they get damp, change them right away. Candida savours a warm and moist environment, don't help them out!
Remedial Tea -- It's true that all tea has it's remedial qualities - that's why I drink it sacredly! - but Lapaucho tea has extra antofungal features that make it the perfect alternative to your normal hot brews.
Yogurt (Probiotic) -- If you enjoy your yogurt make sure that it contains 'acidophilus' - a type of bacteria. There are 'probiotic' yogurts out there that don't have this. The candidiasis will be restrained by good bacteria.
Cut down on sugar consumption:Candida loves sugar. Bad, bad, bad
Clean Your Teeth Twice a Day:
Most of us are aware that we should be cleaning our teeth 2 times every day but many don't. If I was to suggest anything else in this area I would encourage you to use a quality mouthwash to moderate levels of 'bad' bacteria in your mouth, and also floss throughout the day after you have eaten.
Hopefully you are more confident in how you will treat your condition now. I wish you all the best.
