When someone is prescribed an antibiotic, more often than not does the vial of pills have a specific statement of advice printed on the label. This label usually reads; please take until all of the medication is gone. The reason for this small statement of advice? The body builds up immunities – no matter if the cause is viral or medicinal. What does this mean? This means that our bodies can build up an immunity, or tolerance, to certain antibiotics. Much like other types of drugs, in order to continue to have the medication “work” for you, more and more is needed.
Take the needs of a drug addict – say cocaine. A small amount is enough for a beginning drug addict to get “high” off it. Next time, that same person may need a bit more to gain that same “high” he or she experienced the first time. Each time, the drug is needed in greater amounts in order to attain the same “high” as the first time it was used.
The same goes for antibiotics, and the type of over-the-counter drugs that are used to combat yeast infections. What works for one woman, may not work for he other. In addition, if one amount of product worked the first time a yeast infection was noticed – next time might need more of the medication.
Therefore, the yeast infection, specifically the candida albicans (the fungus that causes the infection), becomes more and more resistant to the medications. Soon, it seems as if the woman treats an infection, is doing fine for a week, then gets another one!
As this may be true, it is more probable that the first yeast infection was not fully gone. If a woman has more than four yeast infections in one year, many doctors will test for more complex problems -- such as HIV or diabetes. Both HIV and diabetes tend to suppress the immune system – thereby lowering the body’s natural pH level – leaving a body more at risk for infection.
Therefore, the recurring yeast infection may be treatable, but the medication may only be treating the symptoms – not the actual cause. Men can also carry a yeast infection without any symptoms – especially if he had intercourse with a woman who had a yeast infection. If you do come down with one, be sure that your man is treated for one as well. If not, you will just be passing a yeast infection back and forth forever!
In addition, if the causes are not treated, then the yeast infection will return, and could return with a vengeance. The more yeast infections a woman gets, the more difficult it is to treat. Also, the more difficult it is to treat, then the worse the symptoms become, and the less they are relieved by modern medicine!
Yeast infections can be treated, but need to be done proficiently. If the medicine just masks the symptoms only, then the infection will grow stronger, and become more problematic than originally thought. Diet is a huge part of keeping your recurring yeast infections under control. Maybe you're accidentally contributing to your recurring yeast infections by eating the wrong foods.

Yeast Infection During Pregnancy
Not only can it be difficult to wipe properly during pregnancy, but the hormonal changes of the woman’s body during pregnancy can also set off the pH level. Since a body holds a certain amount of yeast, some doctors claim that the hormonal estrogen changes can also change pH levels, as well the yeast levels in the body.
Yeast infections do not need to be related specifically to the vaginal area. In a woman’s lifetime, almost 75% will get at least one yeast infection. Of these women, almost 45% will have more than one. I never had a yeast infection – until my son was born.
The resultant extra skin that had stretched on my belly during pregnancy, had now hung freely. Dismally, I realized I had a skin fold between my abdominal area and my pubic area. I did not realize that this area would be more than a simple concern about my figure changing.
I ended up at the doctor with a huge rash between this skin fold. It was a yeast infection! Until I lost the weight I had gained during pregnancy, I wore cotton panties (lovingly known to men as “granny panties”) that would cover that area, and reduce the friction of skin-on-skin at that area.
Some women may not understand one simple rule when it comes to bathroom cleanliness. This being – wiping properly. If one has never heard that there is a proper way to wipe, then this may be the cause of all of the yeast infections! Bacteria growth near the anus can be transmitted to the vaginal area if a woman wipes from back to front. Instead, wiping the area from front to back will drop the transmission of bacteria significantly. This may become difficult for women who are into the third trimester of pregnancy. As any mother knows, the bulging belly of a child in the womb can become a very difficult protrusion to work around.
As with any other reason for a yeast infection flare up, trying to avoid times when your vaginal area becomes a warm, moist environment is most important. Keeping yourself indoors and away from the heat of summer during pregnancy is not only good to avoid this, but body temperature can change pH levels, and a yeast infection may follow that temperature rise. It is best to avoid such times that can raise pH levels – especially right before birth. If a woman has a yeast infection at the time of birth, it is possible for the newborn to contract the yeast infection in the form of thrush – a yeast infection of the mouth. This, of course, is most common with a vaginal delivery – not with a cesarean section.
If you'd actually like to see a video of how a yeast infection develops inside the vagina you can do so by CLICKING HERE. The video should shed a lot of light on what is happening internally with the yeast infection intially occurs.
Thrush is not a huge, painful type of yeast infection for an infant. In fact, many infants can contract this type of infection on his or her own. However, a breastfed infant with thrush can give the mother a yeast infection in her breasts – usually if the nipple is cracked.
Yeast infections can be treated, but need to be done proficiently. If the medicine just masks the symptoms only, then the infection will grow stronger, and become more problematic than originally thought.

Baby Yeast Infection
Not only can adults with skin folds get a yeast infection, but so can those wondrously-pinchable chunky babies and toddlers. When working as a toddler teacher, I had come across both sexes of children with yeast infections. One of my toddler girls had a huge rash under her armpit. When I pointed this out to her mother, she was brought to the doctor that same day. The following morning, her mother came to us with a cream – it was a cream to kill the yeast infection under her armpit! It is truly distressing to have a child who cannot talk, eventually come down with a yeast infection.
On a baby, the only couple of signs you get from a girl is just as unnerving to the child as to the mother. If your daughter cries every time she urinates into her diaper, and has a lot of redness and swelling in her vaginal area, then it may be time to take her to the pediatrician. I also had a toddler boy end up with a yeast infection. This child happened to have his foreskin attached to his penis still. If you do not know, many children nowadays happen to have the foreskin removed within a few days after birth – whether for sanitary purposes or religious reasons.
If the foreskin is not pulled back from the head of the penis and cleaned properly, then a yeast infection can occur. One this child, the recurrent yeast infections became so much that his parents finally decided to put the child through surgery (at 21 months of age) to have the foreskin removed. Now, this does not mean that an uncircumcised boy will always get yeast infections, but the parents do need to make sure that they are properly cleaning the area. This also means that the child must be taught to do this as a young man, or, as an adult, that man can get a yeast infection around the head of his penis.
Infants can also be susceptible to a form of yeast infection in the mouth, called thrush. Thrush is seen in the mouth a small, white patches on the insides of the cheeks, and the roof of an infant’s mouth. It is normally painless, but can become uncomfortable enough for an infant to refuse to breastfeed. That being said, a mother can contract a yeast infection in her breasts if her infant has had thrush. Both the infant and the mother would need to be treated for the infection.
On the mother, small red or white patches can show on the breast, as well as red or purple discolored nipples. During breastfeeding, the mother may experience shooting pain in the breast, or even a more sensitized nipple area. Many antibiotics to treat yeast infections can be passed through breast milk, so doctors truly need to exhibit caution when treating this type of infection. Some mothers swear by eating more yogurts that contains good bacteria, and lessening consumption of yeasty foods.

Vaginal Yeast Infection Symptom
I have been superbly lucky when it comes to yeast infections. At age 32, I still have not gotten one. However, I do know the plight of this infection – my family members have not been so lucky. I have to laugh at their attempts to quell such an infection, probably because I have not been privy to this ailment.
Because of all the yeast infection misconceptions floating around on the web, I wanted to do a little research of my own.
The several things I had heard that have seemed to sound like old wives tales, were the one I wanted to actually research. The first one had to do with swimsuits. I had heard over the years that the wearing of wet swimsuits consistently (something a beach bum may do), may keep the area of a woman’s anatomy moist – thereby making it a wonderful spot for the buildup of infection.
The second idea revolved around consistently wearing pantyhose. As with the same idea of wet bathing suits, pantyhose are not completely breathable, and could cause a yeast infection. Last, I had been told that some women have actually dishwashed or microwaved their underwear – as if the heat would kill the bacteria!
I should start by giving a little bit of medical information on yeast infections. Also known as candidiasis, this is a bacteria / fungus type that is on the body at all times. Yes, our bodies constantly have bacteria and fungus on them. However, most often times, this is there to help keep other harmful bacteria from invading our skin.
When we introduce some other foreign substance to our body – like medicine – it may throw off our body’s natural bacteria and fungi. Fungus grows more rapidly in warm, moist environments. Therefore, there actually may be something to the whole idea of wet swimsuits and unbreathable pantyhose! As far as the whole issue of having to microwave or wash panties in the dishwasher – uh, if it really feels good to you, then go for it! However, there has been no substantial evidence anywhere to prove that you have to do either of these things in order to get rid of yeast infections.
Many symptoms of yeast infections can also be considered “normal” for some women. This is why many yeast infections can go unnoticed. However, if there is even a small inkling that a woman has an infection, it is best to go see your doctor for it, if you truly cannot tell.
There tend to be four major symptoms of a yeast infection. These are:
• vaginal itching and soreness
• a thick, white cheese like discharge that may smell yeasty
• “Burning” discomfort around the vaginal opening – especially if urine (a natural acid) touches it.
• pain or burning during intercourse
Men can also carry a yeast infection without any symptoms – especially if he had intercourse with a woman who had a yeast infection. If you do come down with one, be sure that your man is treated for one as well. If not, you will just be passing a yeast infection back and forth forever!

Yeast Infection Cream
There is nothing worse than having to treat a yeast infection. Not only are you suffering from an infection that make your most private areas itchy, burning, and generally makes you feel unclean, but then the medication comes into play. Those wonderfully, nasty-smelling, goopy creams, that make you feel like you have just soaked your underwear in gelatin, and stepped into them!
Oh yeah, and now you get to walk around with the knowledge that every step you take makes you feel like you just squirted a bottle of lotion between your legs. Worse, you start to wonder if anyone else will notice. Does the woman sitting next to me smell the medication? When I stand up from my chair, will I have a wet spot showing on my pants? What am I supposed to say to my boyfriend when I see him tonight?
What are worse about these over-the-counter creams are the little nuances that the drug companies will not tell you about. How about this question: Which is worse, a yeast infection, or a sudden pregnancy? Guess what? Just about every cream in the pharmacy that deals with treating the fungus toward yeast infection also breaks down latex. Why is that important? Why else! Latex equals condoms . . . condoms equal the means to NOT get pregnant! You do the math.
Also, the main ingredient in many of the yeast infection creams is called tioconazole. It is unknown even now as to what adverse reactions this antifungal medication does to a fetus. So, if the woman with the yeast infection is pregnant or breastfeeding, then it is best to see a doctor before attempting to cure the yeast infection with antifungal creams.
Small side effects tend to worsen the symptoms. That means that the original symptoms of burning, itching, and swelling can get poorer. Allergic reactions are even more harmful. These reactions can be hives, shortness of breath, or swelling in the face, lips, or tongue. Another concern as far as these antifungal creams go, happens to be their method of “killing” the fungus. Yeast is a fungus; however, women have “good” yeast in their body. This is a type of good bacteria that “east” other bad bacteria. These antifungal creams cannot discriminate between the good or the bad fungi. So, you run the risk of killing off the good fungus, and making your body more susceptible to other infections.
Kill off enough of your good fungus, and your body has no more natural ways to defend itself. This can now make the yeast infection even more difficult to get rid of – since you have also most likely developed a resistance to such medicine. Your best bet after that ends up being a trip to your doctor – where he or she can give you an even more powerful drug. Thus, the vicious cycle of taking medicine and building a new tolerence begins again. And you thought modern medicine was SO helpful, didn’t you?
The truth is, so many different products out there are really contributing to your recurrent yeast infections. Once you know the products, foods and habits that cause yeast infections, you can stop accidentally contibuting to them. Learn what these habits are right now and stop all your future yeast infections. You can find out what these accidental yeast infection contributors are by CLICKING HERE.

Yeast Infection Diet
For those who suffer from chronic, painful yeast infections, someone has decided that diet has a lot to do with it. After carefully checking out a ton of different diets, there seems to be a bit of everything that you can and cannot eat. Many of the foods that have been removed from the average diet, tend to be foods that can fuel yeast, such as sugars and more yeast consumption, as well as many foods that can keep yeast from flushing from flushing itself out of your body.
So, once I give you the NO foods, I will also add the foods that CAN be consumed. First, NO fruit or fruit juices, since they contain sugars. Fresh vegetables, fresh vegetable juice, and lemonade or limeade can be consumed. NO breads or breaded meat – all other meats are okay.
NO egg substitutes – just organic eggs, since substitutes can hold sugar (for frothiness). NO margarine or butter substitutes – for the same reason as egg substitutes. Fresh butter, yogurt, cream cheese, and unsweetened whipping creams are okay.
NO potatoes, legumes, or grains – since they all contain high natural sugars as well as natural yeasts.
NO coffee, tea, diet or regular sodas. Coffee beans and tea leaves both have natural yeast enhancers, whereas diet and regular sodas have sugar or sugar substitute. Organic tea is okay to drink. NO partially hydrogenated oils, since they can grasp the yeast – holding it hostage in the body. Cold=pressed oils such as olive, coconut, and flax seed can be consumed, since they do not do that.
NO peanuts, peanut butter, or pistachios – they contain natural sugars and are yeast enhancers. Raw nuts, such as raw almonds, pecans, and walnuts do not, and can be consumed. NO vinegars except for apple cider vinegar – which contains malic acid, a known yeast fighter. This is a HUGE category of NO’s, which include ketchup, mustard, soy sauce, worchestshire sauce, barbeque sauce, hot sauce, pickles, mayonnaise, salad dressings, dips, etcetera. Last, avoid high mercury fish such as salmon, tuna, and some shellfish.
This may seem like a ton of NO items, but there are still plenty of foods to try. The entire basis of this is to try to get rid of unnatural foods, and keep the body’s natural pH levels balanced through a truly balanced diet. Fresh vegetables are always a good thing – and many vegetables, such as carrots and beets, can make some wonderful juices. There are still a ton of meats available for consumption as well.
Not all dairy products are off-limits, so many breakfast lunch and dinner solutions are available on this plan. In fact, there have been enough women who have lived with chronic yeast infections that many cookbooks have been written to follow natural, organic foods. If you have grown tired of the constant need to combat the symptoms of a yeast infection, it may have all to do with what you are ingesting – rather than what you are not.
What you want to eat are a ton of foods that contain acidophilus like cottage cheese and yogurt.

Oral Sex Yeast Infection Cure
I was asked this question recently through my mailing list, and felt compelled to answer it:
"If I have oral sex with my girlfriend who has a vaginal yeast infection, does this mean that I am surely to get it? From what I understand candida is contagious, but to what degree? And is the common vaginal yeast infection the same as candida? I became sick after oral sex with her within about 6 hours (she had a very bad odor) and now I'm not sure if I have candida? Also, is it possible for the same kind of yeast (as in the vaginal yeast type) to thrive in the mouth, throat and stomach from oral sex? I'm sure it can as this is probably just as good an environment as the vagina for yeast to thrive. I guess what I'm really trying to find out is whether candida and vaginal yeast infection are actually same thing? Or, is possible that the odor was not yeast at all, but rather some other type of bacterial infection? Anyone else experienced something like this?"
Unless this gentleman has a lowered immune system, then it is likely that his normal immune system will protect him from getting a yeast infection. There have been plenty of strange occurrences in the past, but – if anything – you may come down with thrush. Thrush tends to be found in infants more than adults, and has symptoms of reddish or white rash on the insides of the cheeks, that can sometimes bleed if rubbed too hard. In adults, thrush tends to not show signs of the rash, but it can lead to bad breath and possible throat infection.
Having a bad odor has many possibilities. Yes, there could be another bacterial infection, such as vaginosis, which will carry what many people consider a “fishy” smell. however, every woman – just like every man – has his and her own smell. Sweating can bring out bad underarm odor just as often as sweating can bring out an odor between both a man and a woman’s legs. If it truly is bothersome, then be nice, and bring a washcloth to bed. Clean yourself, and clean her, so she does not feel nasty. It is supremely difficult to tell a woman she smells, and there is no good way to go about it. If she asks, then perhaps you may have to tell her, but be forewarned that she may be extremely uncomfortable during the next few times of oral sex.
There have been documented cases of candida getting into other parts of the body, like internal organs and the bloodstream. The biggest problem can actually cause this fungus to go unchecked, resulting in the fungus breaking down and excreting certain toxins into the body. The liver breaks down these toxins and turns them into alcohols, which can actually give the body a feeling of drunkenness. Unless you remove a high percentage of the fungus, the yeast infection will continue to come back. Keeping your body healthy on the inside is just as important as sanitation on the outside.
Yeast infections can be treated, but need to be done proficiently.

"If I have oral sex with my girlfriend who has a vaginal yeast infection, does this mean that I am surely to get it? From what I understand candida is contagious, but to what degree? And is the common vaginal yeast infection the same as candida? I became sick after oral sex with her within about 6 hours (she had a very bad odor) and now I'm not sure if I have candida? Also, is it possible for the same kind of yeast (as in the vaginal yeast type) to thrive in the mouth, throat and stomach from oral sex? I'm sure it can as this is probably just as good an environment as the vagina for yeast to thrive. I guess what I'm really trying to find out is whether candida and vaginal yeast infection are actually same thing? Or, is possible that the odor was not yeast at all, but rather some other type of bacterial infection? Anyone else experienced something like this?"
Unless this gentleman has a lowered immune system, then it is likely that his normal immune system will protect him from getting a yeast infection. There have been plenty of strange occurrences in the past, but – if anything – you may come down with thrush. Thrush tends to be found in infants more than adults, and has symptoms of reddish or white rash on the insides of the cheeks, that can sometimes bleed if rubbed too hard. In adults, thrush tends to not show signs of the rash, but it can lead to bad breath and possible throat infection.
Having a bad odor has many possibilities. Yes, there could be another bacterial infection, such as vaginosis, which will carry what many people consider a “fishy” smell. however, every woman – just like every man – has his and her own smell. Sweating can bring out bad underarm odor just as often as sweating can bring out an odor between both a man and a woman’s legs. If it truly is bothersome, then be nice, and bring a washcloth to bed. Clean yourself, and clean her, so she does not feel nasty. It is supremely difficult to tell a woman she smells, and there is no good way to go about it. If she asks, then perhaps you may have to tell her, but be forewarned that she may be extremely uncomfortable during the next few times of oral sex.
There have been documented cases of candida getting into other parts of the body, like internal organs and the bloodstream. The biggest problem can actually cause this fungus to go unchecked, resulting in the fungus breaking down and excreting certain toxins into the body. The liver breaks down these toxins and turns them into alcohols, which can actually give the body a feeling of drunkenness. Unless you remove a high percentage of the fungus, the yeast infection will continue to come back. Keeping your body healthy on the inside is just as important as sanitation on the outside.
Yeast infections can be treated, but need to be done proficiently. If the medicine just masks the symptoms only, then the infection will grow stronger, and become more problematic than originally thought.

Yeast Infection Prevention
A woman’s vaginal area is also protected. A woman’s normal body secretions from her vagina are set to an acidic level ranging between 3.5 and 4.2, in order to thwart infection. However, many internal factors can cause that pH level to rise. When that happens, some bacteria and fungi may be able to infect the body.
There is always a certain amount of yeast in a woman’s secretions, but the pH level balances that bacteria. It is, in fact, a good form of bacteria, because it can “eat” other more problematic forms of bacteria. Many antibiotics are meant to rid the body of bacteria, and can indiscriminately attack the good bacteria that the body makes. This will allow the bad bacteria to multiply, whereas an infection becomes apparent.
Certain causes of such a pH level rising can be as simple as stress, illness, lack of sleep, a poor diet that consists more of artificial products instead of natural fruits and vegetables, or certain antibiotics.
If a woman has more than four yeast infections in one year, many doctors will test for more complex problems -- such as HIV or diabetes. Both HIV and diabetes tend to suppress the immune system – thereby lowering the body’s natural pH level – leaving a body more at risk for infection.
Some women may not understand one simple rule when it comes to bathroom cleanliness. This being – wiping properly. If one has never heard that there is a proper way to wipe, then this may be the cause of all of the yeast infections! Bacteria growth near the anus can be transmitted to the vaginal area if a woman wipes from back to front. Depending upon the woman, if you fix the cause, then the infection will clear.
