Chronic Candida
Often, one will ask "how can I finally get rid of this yeast infection".
In this article, we will review some ways that you can treat your candida infection and prevent it from re-occurring.
Let's review what might have triggered your candida to begin with.
Have you had an illness that has required you taking antibiotics within the past 3-6 months? If the answer is yes, then there is a decent chance that the antibiotics killed the good 'healthy bacteria' that works in the body to keep the levels of yeast in balance within your body.
While antibiotics are necessary in many circumstances, as they are used to treat a virus or infection - in addition to killing the cells and bacteria that is causing the illness at hand, they also kill the good bacteria that were keeping the yeast levels in harmony.
Therefore - taking an antibiotic to cure an illness frequently causes another condition - namely candida albicans.
If you have been taking antibiotics off and on, then chances are this is what is causing your chronic candida.
Another way that yeast multiples is with the presence of increased amount of sugar (or glucose) in the body.
This is a common issue with diabetics or anyone who has fluxuations with sugar levels in their bloodstream.
The reason is that a body with diabetes, pre-diabetes or even juvenile diabetes have problems converting sugar into energy - yeast levels will increase as blood sugars increase (as yeast uses sugar as an organism to feed off of to multiply).
Keeping your blood sugar levels under control is an effective yeast infection remedy.
In order to effectively treat chronic candida, knowing the triggers is critical.
The candida fungus also breeds in areas that are moist, dark and lack sufficient oxygen.
This is why it is common for women to get the fungus in their vagina and for men to get yeast in their penis, penis head and scrotum.
One way to help relieve this situation is to wear loose-fitting clothing below the waist.
Also, make sure that you have proper hygiene in the genital area - that you keep the area clean and dry at all times.
Try to wear 100% non-synthetic (cotton) underwear that does not hinder oxygen to the penile and vaginal areas.
