Yeast Infection Information

What You Need to Know

This yeast infection information focuses on 3 basic bits of information you need to know about - symptoms, causes and treatments.

A yeast infection is also known as Candidiasis. 70% to 90% of yeast infections are caused by a strain of yeast called Candida Albicans.

It is a single celled living organism.

Candida Albicans is yeast that we all have in our bodies - living in our digestive tract and women's vaginas. It is considered part of our normal intestinal flora. It is also known as micro flora. Candida and other bacteria and fungi all live happily inside of us.

This bit of yeast infection information on our intestinal flora - directly connects to the probiotics in our bodies.

With a strong immune system, Candida causes no problems. We only experience problems when our normal flora is disrupted and put out of balance.

Basically, when the immune system is affected, Candida yeast can easily multiply.

The symptoms of yeast infections can be different. Some people have discharge, others don't. Some people have burning, others don't. Do you know all the possible symptoms?

Many yeast infection treatments fail because the treatment doesn't get to the root of the problem. If you have had more than one yeast infection this year - your chosen treatment isn't working. You might want to think about a holistic treatment approach. It does work and will help boost your overall health too. This is how to make your own treatment plan that works.
