The symptoms of Candida can affect the entire body. For example, you can get a GI yeast infection, vaginal yeast infection, oral yeast infection and even a respiratory yeast infection. So, you need to be on a look out for the following:
1. In GI candidiasis you will often have an upset stomach, constipation, bloating, diarrhea and /or abdominal cramps. An Candida infection also can also be acause ofirritablebowell syndrome.
2. Both women and men can suffer from genital Candida. A genital infection is signaled by having sex that is painful and increased frequency of urination. Women's menstrual cramps are also abnormal in nature and males may suffer from prostatitis. Please note, you do not have to be sexually active to have either an infection of the vagina or of the penis.
3. An oral Candida infection, also known as thrush, will cause the inside areas of your mouth to be dry, and you also will have fissures located at the corners of your mouth. Additonally, in severe cases you will have difficulty swallowing. If you have trouble swallowing it means that the infection has moved to your throat.
4 Respiratory candidiasis is marked by persistent coughing, shortness of breath, wheezing, tightness and pain in the chest.
5. Eye Candidiasis is a serious condition that must be treated without delay. One of the symptoms is your eyelid sticking together (conjunctivitis). In worst-case scenarios the excessive pus may collect inside the retina and if it is left untreated your eye sight may be damaged.
