The number one candida infection that everyone knows about is a vaginal yeast infection. There are many more types of candida infections but nobody really thinks that the symptoms of a yeast infection in women are the same type of symptoms you might get in another place.I mean thrush is a yeast overgrowth of the mouth with similar side effects only in the mouth. Athlete’s foot is the same type of symptoms just on the feet. Even though I will say I would much rather have athlete’s foot than a vaginal yeast infection.My only point here is that most external yeast infections have the same type of symptoms. What you really have to watch out for are the signs of a yeast infection. Hopefully this will never happen to you but if you let a candida infection go without treatment long enough you are at a high risk of developing a systemic yeast infection, and that’s not good.
There is a difference between a bacterial infection and a yeast infection. Even though a yeast infection is caused by the candida bacteria it is usually not referred to as a bacterial infection, don’t ask me why? Now bacterial vaginosis is considered a bacterial infection of the vagina and it is also caused by, naturally, a harmful bacteria. I guess the difference in the two would be that candida can be naturally present in your body and your natural flora could keep it in check. However with the bacteria that usually causes bacterial vaginosis, Gardnerella, is not normally found in the body. So hence the call this type of infection a bacterial infection.The only reason I’m pointing this out is I want you to make sure when you are saying you have a bacterial yeast infection that you have a candida infection and not bacterial vaginosis. It is very common to get these two infections mixed up and treat them wrong. This happens all the time and it just makes you suffer longer than you need to. With a little help from me you can easily tell the difference between the two.
A candida infection is a very common thing. Most of us don’t realize just how common. I think many people hear yeast infection and automatically think it pertains to a woman. This couldn’t be farther from the truth, actually a lot of us probably had a candida infection early on in life with Thrush. Women like me do suffer more later on in life from candida infections like vaginal yeast infections but men will suffer more from candida infections like athlete’s foot and skin infections. Candida bacterial lives in all of us naturally, so gender is really not the issue here. I feel like men just ignore their symptoms and don’t try to cure their infections until it gets out of control. Women on the other hand tend to be more in touch with their bodies and try to cure their infections much sooner. Not to mention there is a big difference between a vaginal yeast infection and athlete’s foot. Regardless of which type of candida infection you have the best way to cure any yeast infection is to kill all the candida in your entire body. It’s the simple truth that no doctors seem to tell you.
