Yeast is a common and naturally occurring substance; it can be found all over the human body, particularly in our mouths, abdomen, arm pits and skin folds. It's presence outright is not a concern, it only becomes one if the levels of it progress past an acceptable level. Should this happen, then a yeast infection will arise.
So, what can cause a natural amount of yeast to develop into a yeast infection? Well, there a number of common factors that can contribute...
- Some contraceptives - Use of steriods - Certain medications and antibiotics - High sugar diets - Pregnancy - Smoking - Diabetes - Food allergies - HIV
The development of a yeast infection (scientifically referred to as candidiasis) is not an uncommon occurence. Most show up as a relatively harmless looking red rash, but the the accompanying itching and pain can be very unpleasant.
Though they can initially be little more than unsightly and unpleasant, the symptoms can be become more serious unless the yeast infection is dealt with. Left untreated, one can also, particularly if the affected area is the abdomen, lead to...
- Problems with memory and concentration - Congestion of the sinuses - Tiredness - Headaches - Mood swings
Should you develop a yeast infection, over the counter medications, to apply directly to affected area, are available. These can be bought at most pharmacies and come with simple to follow instructions. Sticking strictly to the directions that come with them is essential to seeing success with them, so be sure to apply the right amount and not to miss out applying them on some days - consistency is key.
Alternative, natural remedies can also be found if you either don't like using chemical medications, or have failed to rid yourself of your yeast infection through the use of them.
Professional medical advice should be sought if both over the counter medications or natural remedies fail to resolve the problem. Don't worry about unnecessarily pestering your doctor, as this is a common and serious problem. They will have dealt with many patients with yeast infections in the past and, as such, will have the knowledge to help you rid yourself of your yeast infection quickly.
As a final point, though curing the symptoms of your yeast infection is your main concern right now, don't neglect to consider the reasons for it arising in the first place. If you focus only on finding a cure, then it is likely that the infection will continue to come back again and again.
