How To Get Relief From Constant Non-Stop Yeast Infections

If you are a victim of non-stop yeast infection symptoms this article will reveal important information on fungal infections which affects millions of women worldwide and what you can do to address this chronic health condition effectively.

You are probably wondering why the medication and drugs you are on, don't work when they are supposed to. You see many of the drugs designed to combat yeast infection symptoms contain antifungal agents. They are just another form of antibiotic. One of the main causes of fungal infections are antibiotics!

Women who experience frequent and non-stop yeast infection symptoms often complain with a persistent vaginal itch accompanied with vaginal discharge that smells of yeast, discomfort during sexual intercourse, a burning sensation when urinating and irritation and redness of the vagina. There are other related symptoms related to candida overgrowth: fatigue, constipation, skin irritation, depression, muscle aches and memory loss. While this is not considered a serious health condition, when left untreated for a long period it can lead to serious diseases.

Yeast infection symptoms are caused by an overgrowth of yeast (candida) in the body and they are frequent in women just before menstruation, during pregnancy or menopause because during those times the changes in the vaginal pH make it easy for candida to overgrow. A weak immune system causes yeast to overgrow. Our bodies have all the necessary natural defences to combat fungal infections, yeast is common in all our bodies but at times it can overgrow and the only way to fight this, is to address the root cause of the problem.

What affects the growth of yeast?

Regular use of antibiotics - these kill off good bacteria making it easy of yeast to overgrow. Try and stay off them or speak to your doctor about alternative treatments for any other health conditions you have until the symptoms have subsided.

Birth control pills - certain birth control pills have the same effect on our bodies as antibiotics do. Again speak to your doctor about taking you off or offering alternatives.

Our diet - a diet high in sugar, dairy products and refined carbohydrates feeds our bodies even more yeast making it very easy overpopulate. Eliminating these and introducing more fresh fruit and vegetables will build up your immune system. You can then slowly reintroduce these after your the symptoms have subsided.

People with HIV and diabetes are more prone to fungal infections because of their already weak immune system. Stress is another major cause of fungal infections and can have a negative effect on the immune system- learning how to effectively manage stress will help you deal not only with yeast infections symptoms but can eradicate other health problems such as blood pressure and heart disease.
