Recurring Yeast Infections

A vaginal yeast infection, also known as vaginal candidiasis, is an infection involving a type of yeast (fungus). Up to 92% of all vaginal yeast infections are caused by the fungus called Candida albicans with the remainder due to other species of Candida.

Certain types of bacteria that normally exist in the vagina usually keep C albicans from growing out of control. If the balance of these microorganisms is upset, Candida albicans may be allowed to grow uncontrollably and lead to a yeast infection. The use of certain medications (such as antibiotics), changes in hormone levels, or certain diseases are examples of factors that can allow a vaginal yeast infection to develop.

Recurring vaginal yeast infections can be a sign of a more serious condition such as diabetes, leukemia or AIDS. Always see your doctor is you are having recurring yeast infections to rule out any of these possibilities.

Constant or recurring yeast infections can also be a sign of a systemic candida infection. There is no medical test for a systemic (whole body) yeast infection. It is extremely difficult to diagnose and is often misdiagnosed.

Here are some of the symptoms of a systemic yeast infection:

Recurrent vaginal yeast infections Extreme fatigue Problems concentrating and/or remembering Dark circles under the eyes Chronic sinus problems and headaches including migraines Symptoms that resemble the flu such as pain in the joints and muscles Depression Irritability Anxiety Panic attacks Chronic athlete's foot Felling as if you are in a fog - mentally unclear Night Sweats

The list goes on. These are only some of the symptoms. The number of systems associated with a systemic yeast infection is part of the reason that it is so hard to diagnose.

I personally suffer from a systemic yeast infection and have found a few treatments that work. The one that will cure a yeast infection and MANY other diseases can be found at TheCureThatWorks.com.
