The signs
and symptoms of a yeast infection are more than many of us may think
about. The infection
is caused by an overgrowth of the Candida fungus
that lives in our bodies. Yes, we all have it, only when it is
controlled you do not get ill from it. So, this will explain why you
sometimes have symptoms that you do not even know that they are from
a fungus infection.
When you
are thinking about the signs and symptoms of a yeast infection there
are the well known symptoms that we all know about and then there are
the lesser known ones. What makes it even worse is that, the unknown
symptoms may be the most important ones.
Did you
know, for instance, that an abnormal amount of “gas” is a
symptom? What makes it even worse is, this same “gas” spreads the
Candida infection even further through your underwear, pyjamas and
bedding! This goes to show that knowing the lesser known symptoms is
very important.
1. Here
are the well known signs and symptoms of a yeast infection:
- I think we all know the burning and the itching
- The papery or cottage cheese like discharge
- Even the “old cheese” smell
2. The
lesser know ones:
- OK, so I have already mentioned the “gas”
- Then there is the fatigue
- The general “ill” feeling
- Memory loss
- Abdominal pain
… To
mention but a few!
This goes
to show that it is very important to know all the signs and symptoms
of a yeast infection. You can get pretty ill from it and it can
become a systemic fungus infection (an overgrowth in your whole
system) and the longer you leave it, the worse it will get. Know the
symptoms and treat it holistically, that is the best way to handle a
Candida Infection.
