Around seventy five percent of women will suffer from at least one yeast infection. These infections are caused by an organism that lives in all of use naturally, and this is what makes it so difficult to treat in a lot of women.
The human body keeps this harmless yeast under control when it is running in good health. If its natural defences have been compromised then this organism start to grow in numbers, and then an infection occurs.
Recurrent infection are the result of the same over the counter cream being applied to an infection that it has no chance of curing. All that happens is the yeast becomes resistant, and the cream actually makes it stronger instead of killing it.
The biggest mistake that a high percentage of women make with chronic Candida infections is to start using more of the anti fungal cream. They believe that they are not using enough so they start using more in the hope that it will one day cure their infection. This never happens, and the infection just gets worse.
Because Candida lives naturally in the body it continues to mutate into an infection causing fungus. Until the body's natural defences are back to full strength, the yeast continues to mutate and cause chronic infections.
Your body has a level of beneficial bacteria that keep the Candida yeast under control. When these get low it has an easy time multiplying and then mutating.
Your body will easily start fighting of your infections once you get your friendly bacteria population up to good numbers again. This is achieved by taking probiotics supplements that have billions of live bacteria in them.
You have to be vigilant when purchasing probiotics as you need to make sure they are of good quality. You need bacteria that is high in numbers, and is microencapsulated so they survive the journey through your digestive tract. If you buy cheap probiotics they will be killed off by stomach acid, and they will be useless in the fight against fungus.
Your immune system is also needed to be strong to fight off infections, and you can strengthen this with a healthy diet. You can also take a vitamin and mineral supplement.
A healthy diet that is low in sugar and simple carbohydrates will also help to starve the infection as it loves sugar to feed on. If you keep feeding the infection you will never cure yourself.
Once your body's internal strength is back to normal you'll put an end to your resistant Candida infections. There's no reason why anyone needs to suffer form chronic infections because drugs have made the fungus resistant.
