Recurrent yeast infections are now a problem for 5% of women worldwide. The more modern the country you come from then you have a greater chance of suffering from them as it's modern drugs that are becoming the major cause.
Drugs and medicines weaken the body's ability to fight infections, and they also upset your body's natural bacterial and chemical balance. This makes your body a perfect breeding ground for the fungus that causes recurrent yeast infections.
It's the Candida that lives in your body that mutates into an infection causing fungus. In a healthy person the Candida is kept under control so it doesn't mutate, so your natural defenses have to be strong to keep it under control. If your defenses have been compromised then the yeast can grow in numbers, and then it will mutate into an aggressive fungus that causes your symptoms.
Antibiotics use is the biggest cause of chronic yeast infections because it weakens your body's natural defenses. You have a natural bacterial balance in your body, and when this gets upset, things start to happen that will begin to destroy your health. Candida overgrowth is the most common result of a bacterial imbalance.
Antibiotics are prescribed when you have bacteria in your body that needs to be killed off. The problem is, antibiotics also kill your beneficial bacteria, and this is needed to protect you from infection causing organisms such as Candida. The Candida will start to increase in numbers when your friendly bacteria has been killed off.
Yeast infection become recurrent when you use a treatment that only treats the external symptoms because the Candida can still mutate after the treatment has stopped. To cure your infection you need to treat the cause, and this then stops the Candida from mutating when your treatment has finished.
When you keep using the same treatment on your recurrent yeast infections the treatment you're using can become part of the problem. When the fungus is continually exposed to the same anti fungal drug it then becomes resistant. This means that the fungus mutates every time you use the same anti fungal drug, and it just mutates into a stronger strain that becomes harder to treat.
You will only successfully cure your infection when you start treating it from the root cause.
