Yeast Infection Symptoms

Welcome to my blog on Yeast Infection Symptoms. Here you will learn how to recognise yeast infection symptoms and the treatment and cure of a yeast infection. You are welcome to share this information with any one you think can benefit from it.

Introduction

Are you a yeast sufferer or are you not quite sure what yeast infection symptoms are, then please read on, this will help you to understand the problem better.

Yeast infection symptoms, known also as Thrush or Candida, are relatively easy to identify and are very common in men and women.

The symptoms are rarely something that can be missed, although some people do try to ignore them.


It has been estimated that 75% of the population suffer from some form of yeast infection at some time in their life.

So What Is A Yeast Infection?

Yeast is a fungus known as Candida Albicans and it occurs naturally in our bodies. Men have not been very outspoken about the condition and this has led to a misconception that the disease might be a reserve for women.

Certainly yeast infections are one of the most common types of infections affecting women.
Women may become susceptible to a yeast infection from things such as bubble baths, vaginal contraceptives, and wearing moist or tight fitting clothes.

Signs You Might Have a Yeast Infection

The symptoms include the commonly known itching, burning, rashes, vaginal dryness and possible swelling of the area.

It can also be caused by antibiotics killing too many of the good bacteria in your system. Diabetics are sensitive to yeast overgrowth due to high sugar levels in their blood. Sexual intercourse with someone who has a yeast infection can cause an infection, as can other medications and even changes in soaps or douching too frequently.

Yeast infection symptoms can also be brought on by a change in your hormonal balance, especially during menopause.

Sometimes the symptoms can be as easy to spot as that itchy feeling in your genitals or the burning sensation you feel during urination.

One of the symptoms of male yeast infection is soreness and irritation around the head of the penis or even small blisters and discharge.

There are occasions where symptoms can vary depending on the location for example they can occur in the mouth, oral thrush, where you will find whitish patches which are very uncomfortable.

Treatment is not difficult, but should not be overlooked as these symptoms can increase in intensity and make life unbearable if they continue too long.

Conclusion

Yeast Infection symptoms are very common in men and women and if you recall, the symptoms are caused by an overgrowth of Candida Albicans fungus. They can be very uncomfortable to deal with, sometimes so uncomfortable it’s even hard to walk.

Having a Yeast infection is not very pleasant and many people keep their problems to themselves because they are afraid of what others might say. Don’t be one of these people; it is a fact that a yeast infection can be cured.
