A yeast infection is a common occurrence among women. It is also a medical problem that men can experience. In addition to this, yeast can cause problems among babies too and problems like diaper rash and thrush are common occurrences. The most common kind of yeast that causes issues among humans is Candida albicans.
Yeast or fungus is commonly present in the body in limited numbers and limited numbers of yeast do not cause any issues in the body. Yeast is kept under check by the immune system and the good bacteria that destroy the yeast. When the good bacteria are destroyed due to excessive intake of antibiotics and other strong medicines or when the immune system becomes weak, it results in a preponderance of yeast like Candida. A high concentration of Candida can result in yeast infections that can cause various symptoms.
The symptoms of a yeast infection depend on the area that they strike. Vaginitis, the most common yeast infection, can result in vaginal itching, redness and soreness in the vaginal area and difficulties in urination. Penile yeast infection can result in red sores on the penile head and blisters too. Itching and pain during urination and sexual intercourse is also common. Thrush is a yeast infection that results in a white thick coating that forms on the tongue, palette and back of the throat. While the white coating does not create many issues, you may see some blood if you try and scrape off the thrush with a tongue cleaner. Diaper rashes can obviously cause a lot of issues because they can get painful and irritating.
Topical antifungal creams can provide some respite and reduce the soreness and redness for a certain period of time. Oral antibiotics can also reduce the yeast numbers resulting in a disappearance of the yeast infection symptoms. However, both these thrush treatment options are temporary in nature and recurrence is almost certain.
A holistic thrush treatment option that helps in relieving symptoms and also restores the microbial balance in the body is what is required. This means that you will need to attack the yeast infection from all sides.
