A Special Offer When It Comes To Yeast Infection Treatment

By Skell Paulson


There are a combination of both "good" and bad" bacteria, and in a healthy human, the good bacteria helps with a host of bodily functions such as digestion, and they help to keep the "bad" bacteria from creating serious health problems.

One group of microscopic, yeast-like fungus that lives in the human body is known as Candida, or Monilia. A specific organism in this group known as either Monilia albicans, or Candida albicans, can cause a condition called Candidiasis. A yeast infection.

Whenever we sweat, we enjoy the after effect which is cool and refreshing but little do we realize that the same sweat if left on the skin will not only result to disgusting odor, but yeast infection too.

Oral yeast infections, also called thrush, are most common in infants and the elderly, but they can also occur frequently in anyone who suffers from a severe disease such as HIV or diabetes.

Few people may know it as moniliasis or vaginal thrush or candidiasis. While most people ignore vaginal thrush assuming it is a regular condition, this can lead to severe consequences. Yeast infection is caused by a fungus called Candida Albicans and hence the name candidiasis.

This fungus grows in moist areas of the body. Hence mouth and genital areas, the vagina (known as vulvovaginal candidiasis) or other parts of the skin can be infected with it. While there can be various reasons for the growth of this fungus and its treatment is provided depending on the cause.

Antibiotics kill all bacteria in the human body - both good and bad. This makes your body more vunerable to the development of multiple health problems such as oral yeast infections, because there are no good bacteria left alive to counteract the activities of the bad bacteria.

Instead learn to appreciate the natural vaginal odor which is pleasant and thus do not need to be better anyway. Restrict those deodorants and antiperspirants to less sensitive parts of your body such as the armpits.

Many people believe that oral thrush on a baby or toddler is caused by improper hygiene. Technically that is incorrect however.

Dirt alone will not usually cause thrush, but if there are any small abrasions, cuts or scrapes which will allow the Candida to get in and create an infection, then that will cause the development of the yeast infection.

With the HIV infection, mostly the victims suffer from yeast fungal infection in the mouth (thrush), upper digestive tract (esophagitis) and in the stomach causing very painful ulcerations that may weaken their immune system because the rate of food absorption in the intestines is reduced.

Still, when the person experiences both cancer and aids at the same time then the whole system may be weakened by yeast Candida which is severe.

It is best to find the yeast infection cure as early as possible because there are severe stages of this too.

Some doctors recommend throwing out bottle nipples when an oral yeast infection is cleared up in children, because cleaning the nipples well enough to prevent reinfection is difficult to do.

Others recommend boiling the nipples fully immersed for full sterilization, but realize this could make the nipple weak and cause a safety hazard for small children.
