Candida in your vagina

The Candida Albicans yeast that causes yeast infections lives naturally in your vagina. The reason why you’re not always infected is because you also have friendly bacteria living in your vagina that keeps the Candida under control and stops it from mutating into its fungal form.

If you start applying any anti fungal cream to your vagina when you don’t have a yeast infection you’ll upset the natural bacterial balance, and then you’ll cause an infection. The Candida has a built in defense mechanism, and it will mutate because you’re trying to kill it.

When it mutates it will become resistant to the cream, and as you apply more cream the yeast will get stronger.

Recurrent yeast infections

Because a lot of women think they’ll keep their vagina free of yeast by using Monistat as a prevention they end up with recurrent yeast infections that become a struggle to cure. They end up on oral anti fungals that then upset the natural bacterial balance in their intestines, and then they cause an intestinal yeast infection.

An intestinal yeast infection is not something you want to end up with. Your doctor will no longer be able to help you because there is no medical cure for an overgrowth of fungus in the intestines. Anything that can kill fungus in the intestines kills your friendly bacteria as well so your body is left with no natural defense against future infections. This leaves your body open to more infections caused by stronger strains of fungus.

Conclusion

As you can see using an anti fungal over the counter yeast infection cream as a prevention for a yeast infection is not a good idea. The only way to prevent a yeast infection is to keep yourself healthy, and your immune system strong. If you ever take antibiotics for anything take a course of probiotics afterwards to replenish your intestinal friendly bacteria levels.

See your doctor

The next thing you need to do is return to your doctor. Your doctor can then recommend your next course of treatment, and your doctor will also give you a correct diagnosis if you haven’t had one already. Many women go out and buy OTC yeast infection treatments before they have a correct diagnosis, and end up treating another vaginal infection only for it to get worse.

If you are suffering an allergic reaction to creams you’ll probably be prescribed an oral anti fungal drug like Diflucan. These drugs break down the fungus just like a cream, but they’re a lot harsher on your body as your friendly bacteria can be killed by the treatment as well. It will then be up to you if you want to use the prescription or if you want to use your own cure.

Natural yeast infection treatment

Depending on the cause of your yeast infection ( if you know the cause ) you can use a simple, effective natural treatment. All you need to do is dip a tampon in some live, natural, sugar free yogurt, then insert the tampon as you normally would. After a couple of hours you can remove the tampon as leaving it in for too long can make your symptoms worse.

If your yeast infection has been caused by antibiotics use, or the overuse of antibiotics you may have to make more lifestyle changes to successfully rid your body of the Candida yeast. This will include diet changes to starve the yeast in your body.

How your Candida overgrowth starts

When you first have Candida overgrowth in your intestines you’ll start suffering from some mild symptoms such as…

• Indigestion
• Bloating and gas

Most people will start to mask these symptoms with antacids whether they are bought over the counter or your doctor prescribes them. These will not only mask the intestinal yeast infection your suffering from, but they will make it worse.

Your intestines need your stomach acid

When you take antacids you neutralize all the acid in your stomach. While this is giving you relief from your indigestion it’s creating a breeding ground for the Candida yeast. As well as bacteria now surviving in you’re acid free stomach your food is not being digested properly.

The food ( instead of being digested ) will ferment in your intestines, and this is now food for the Candida yeast and other parasites. Because the food isn’t being digested properly your body can’t absorb the nutrients from it either. So as well as the symptoms of your Candida overgrowth your body becomes malnourished so your immune system can become weak also.

The walls of your intestines

As the Candida overgrowth gets worse in your intestines, the the muated Candida attach themselves to the walls of your intestines then start feeding off of your cells. This eventually leads to perforation of your intestines, which then leads to more symptoms. These include…

• Lethargy
• Shortness of concentration span
• Memory loss
• Aching joints and muscles
• And many more

These unrelated symptoms

Because these symptoms are unrelated to the Candida yeast, a high percentage of men and women suffering from these symptoms have no idea they are suffering with Candida overgrowth of their intestines.

See your doctor

If you regularly suffer from any of the symptoms mentioned above then you need to see your doctor to rule out any obvious cause. If your doctor cannot find a cause then it’s up to you to find it.

What I did

I found the cause and the cure to all my Candida overgrowth symptoms thanks to Sarah Summer. You can read about Sarah Summer here.

The faster you rid yourself of Candida overgrowth the better you will feel. This fungus just causes destruction to you internally that even your doctor isn’t aware of.

What is Candida overgrowth

Candida overgrowth is an overgrowth of a usually harmless yeast that has mutated into a fungus. Fungi are very hard to rid your body of, and although in some people a poor diet has caused their overgrowth, just reversing the process back to a healthy diet won’t have much effect as a cure.

It would probably slow down the rate at which the fungus is spreading but if your diet is no longer feeding the Candida the Candida will just feed of the cells of your body.

All fungal infections need treatment as soon as possible

Fungal infections can spread so fast that they need to be treated as quickly as possible. If your Candida overgrowth doesn’t spread in area it will be burrowing its way further into your body’s tissue. It doesn’t matter whether the infection is in your vagina or in your intestines, it will continue to feed off of your cells until you attempt to kill it.

Even with treatment the Candida yeast can continue to infect you if it isn’t done properly. The important thing is you attack the cause as well as the symptoms you’re suffering from.

As a cure for Candida overgrowth diet alone is fairly useless, but it is an important part of ridding yourself of the Candida yeast for good.
