More women are now suffering from recurrent yeast infections because Miconazole didn’t cure their infection. Miconazole is the active ingredient in OTC anti fungal creams, and has been created to kill yeast that is infecting the vagina, and other external parts of the body. The trouble with yeast infection treatments like this is, they only kill yeast. They don’t treat the cause of the infections, and they can cause other problems which are explained below.

Treating the cause

If miconazole hasn’t cured your infection then there can be an underlying cause that hasn’t been treated first. It doesn’t matter how many times you apply an anti fungal cream to your infection, if your body is allowing the yeast to mutate into a fungus your infection will always return when you stop your treatment.

See your doctor

If your anti fungal medication hasn’t worked it’s important you see your doctor. If you haven’t already been to see your doctor ( a lot of women don’t ) then he/she will make sure you have actually been treating a yeast infection. If you have another bacterial infection in your vagina then miconazole will not cure it, but it will eliminate the symptoms while it’s being used.

Your doctor can also test you for anything that can cause recurrent yeast infections such as diabetes, or any immune weakening health conditions.

Resistant yeast

If you have used miconazole a lot in the past ( one brand name is Monistat ) then the yeast in your vagina could now be resistant. If you keep exposing bacteria and fungi to the same drugs all the time they eventually become resistant. This is a self-defense mechanism they have built in, and this is why we now have super bugs in hospitals.

Not using the creams correctly can also cause the yeast to become resistant. Some women use Monistat when they don’t have a yeast infection, and this can cause the harmless yeast that lives in all vaginas to mutate into a fungus. When it does mutate it will already be resistant because it was the cream that caused the yeast to mutate.

Your options

If an OTC anti fungal cream has failed to cure your infection you have two options left to treat yourself. You can go back to your doctor to get a prescription for a more powerful drug which is usually an oral anti fungal such as Diflucan, or you can treat your infection naturally.

If you use an oral drug you have the same problem with the cream as oral drugs only kill yeast, and don’t treat the infection from the root cause. A natural yeast infection cure will treat your infection from the cause, and it will strengthen all of your body’s natural defenses so the infection won’t come back.

The choice is yours. Natural Yeast Cure

Many sufferers of yeast infections will end up suffering from other symptoms such as depression. The reason is the fact that a yeast infection isn’t just in your vagina. If you’re suffering from a yeast infection then you will have the yeast in your intestines as well, and this is where the trouble starts, and so do your other symptoms.

Yeast in your intestines

Once the yeast in your intestines starts mutating into an aggressive fungus it will start effecting the way your body works. First, your digestion will be impaired because the overgrowth of fungus means that your beneficial bacteria is low. Once your beneficial bacteria is low then you can’t digest your food properly so you start missing out on vital nutrients.

What else does the fungus feed on

When the fungus starts getting stronger from the food your eating it will also start feeding on the walls of your intestines. Once this happens they will eventually perforate your intestines, and then the toxins from the fungus will enter your blood stream. The toxins in your blood will start effecting the way your liver works because the toxins will put it under more strain.

When these toxins hit your brain they cause…

• Depression
• Mood swings
• Concentration problems
• Foggy brain

Depression is just one of many symptoms that the overgrowth of mutated yeast cause. The fungus that the yeast mutates into is a health destroying organism that is effecting more men and women all the time. The worst part about this fungus is, there isn’t anything your doctor can give you that will stop it from breeding in your intestines. Only your body can do that with it’s natural defenses.
