Yeast infections are caused by a microorganism called Candida Albicans, so it is also known as Candidiasis, and in many cases if left untreated it becomes a chronic Candidiasis.
This is an infections caused by fungi.
It happens when for some reasons Candida cells overgrow, thus causing an infection.
The symptoms are often very unpleasant, irritating and embarrassing, and although it is easy to find a quick relief, eliminating chronic Candidiasis is often not an easy task.
Candidiasis can occur in many different forms, the most common is a mouth infection and vaginal yeast infection.
When you get an oral infection you will notice some white patches or soreness in your mouth.
The most common symptom of a vaginal yeast infection is a cottage cheese-like white vaginal discharge followed by itchiness and skin rash.
Men can also suffer from yeast infections and they mostly experience a rash on the penis.
Untreated Candidiasis can become very dangerous and complicated if you do not treat it.
In time it can cause you more severe health problems and diseases.
If your infection has become chronic, then you know how frustrating the treatment can be, since the infection is always coming back.
The truth is, you have to find a way to cure the candida infection permanently and not just treat the symptoms on the surface of your skin.
The first step in doing this is to work on your immune system.
If you have a weak immune system you will probably not be able to escape from Candida infections.
Regular exercise and proper diet can help you in a great way to boost your immune system.
When we talk about proper diet, there is one important thing you should be aware of.
Candida cells are also a living creature and to grow, thrive and propagate they need food.
The main food for Candida is sugar.
If you eat and drink a lot of sweet food and drinks you are promoting the growth and propagation of Candida.
If you want to get rid of chronic Candidasis, avoiding sugar should be the first thing you do.
