subject: What's Causing Your Yeast Infections? [print this page] Knowing what's causing your yeast infections is an important step in getting rid of them once and for all. You need to understand what it is in order to stop the painful debilitating symptoms that you suffer with recurrent yeast infections.
A yeast infection may also be known as Candida, Monilinia and Thrush. It is a very common infection which 75% of women will experience at least once in their lifetime. A majority of people treat the problem with drugs or creams and think little of it until it comes back, but you may be unaware of the potentially serious implications of recurring infections.
Despite what you might think, a yeast infection isn't only an external problem; it's also an internal problem. There are many things that can trigger an infection and while most medications treat the symptoms, none cure the actual cause of the infections.
The problem with treating Candida yeast infections is that most of us trust in medications and don't look further than treating the immediate distressing symptoms. That needs to change! We need to stop trusting others to help us and help ourselves. That said, you've probably searched the net and tried a variety of potions and lotions that promise to cure you. Chances are, they didn't.
You need information and you need to know what's going on within your own body. It's only by empowering yourself and learning the causes of your yeast infection that you'll find the answer in natural, 100% safe treatment. The good news is such a cure really exists; a cure that is safe, inexpensive, natural and which carries no risk to your health.
You also need to know how to diagnose your own symptoms and how to then keep yourself free of the harmful bacteria that caused your problems. Once you educate yourself you'll be free of the symptoms that have probably dominated your life for so long. You'll be rid of the pain, the irritation, the embarrassment and you'll feel so much better in yourself. You'll have a better memory, better digestion, your nails and skin will improve and an overall improvement in your health will make you feel so much better in general.
It's true that knowledge is power so make sure you're not left in the dark about the cause of your yeast infections.
