Just what is it then? Yeast which is commonly found in or on our bodies is really not a problem.
It is very common to find yeast in the vagina, the intestines, the mouth, as well as on the skin.
This yeast is normally kept in control within or on the body of a person, with the help of certain types of 'friendly' bacteria.
Men, women and children all have yeast on and in their bodies.
But, when this yeast begins to take control over things, it is then that all the problems start arising in the form of infections.
Vaginal yeast infections - the associated symptoms Almost any woman, anywhere in the world, will at some point in her life, experience a vaginal infection that is related to yeast.
There are some women who will suffer from this more than once in their life.
The symptoms that accompany this infection include: rash, swelling, itching, soreness of the vulva, smell of yeast, burning feeling, a discharge that is thick and white, etc.
What is it that causes yeast infection in women? The real cause for this type of an infection is the overgrowth that takes place of the Candida bacteria.
But the real question over here is, what is it that makes the body capable of controlling these bacteria? And what makes the body not be able to control it all of a sudden? Some of the reasons why the body can no longer control this infection are listed as follows: • There is an increase of the sugar level in the body.
And as yeast's thrive on sugars, this results in an infection.
• Increased levels of stress or an illness or even extreme fatigue, could result in bringing out this infection.
• The use of antibiotics could also have negative effects as they often kill the bacteria that are "friendly" and thus make the infection surface.
• Things such as perfumes, douches and deodorants affect the natural levels of acidity that exist in the vagina and this leads to the eruption of an infection due to yeast.
• Sometimes even the physical movements caused by sex could irritate the vagina and result in an infection.
This is more so at the beginning of the cure and as a result of this, the person suffering from the infection can get extremely exhausted.
But the good news is that this lasts for only a few days and after that it begins to wear off and you are well on the way to finding a cure for your yeast infection.
