Yeast Infection: Beyond The Commercials

By Vince Gomez

The itching, burning, and odor associated with candida (the fungus responsible for yeast infections) affect millions of people every year and can cause severe discomfort.

If you watch much television, you have certainly seen the commercials for anti yeast infection products. These are commonly sold as creams or suppositories that allegedly provide relief.

What these commercials leave out are the facts that women are not the only people who can get yeast infections. Not only do men get yeast infections on their sexual organs, but studies have shown that almost 90% of the population have the fungus within their bodies. Beside the sexual organs of men and women, many people have yeast in their intestines. Most healthy people will never have an issue with yeast infections, as their immune systems keep it in check.

While following the package directions for these products will provide temporary relief, the fact is that they are far from being a cure. In order to truly free yourself from yeast, you will have to make some lifestyle changes.

More complex issues can be indicated by yeast infections. Curing the root cause will usually take care of the candida overrun, but completely getting rid of it can prove very difficult. Yet, it is possible.

Health issues which can lead to candidiasis can vary from person to person. However, some of the more common issues that are linked to candidiasis are:

* Unbalanced Hormones

* Immune Deficiency

* Excessive Glucose

Treating these issues will most certainly help with trying to eliminate excessive yeast in your body.

Changing your diet, exercising and generally taking care of yourself are always a good idea, and are even more so when you are trying to tackle a yeast infection. It is also a good idea to see your doctor and ask them to try to work with you in not just treating the symptom which is the yeast infection, but also the cause.

Taking a holistic step to freedom from candida can be as simple as eating the right foods and doing the right things. You will feel so much better when you don't have to deal with the health problems and discomfort that excess yeast will bring.
