Yeast infections are such that yeast fungi in the body part settle in this amount, causing damage or symptoms. Normally, yeast invades only the body lumen and the inner layer of these cavities, but in severe cases it may grow into a layer of tissue.
Yeast often infect the reproductive organs of the vagina and the outer female. It happens often in the mouth and is called garbage. Male organs may be infected, but usually the symptoms will be less. There may also be infectious overgrowth of yeast in the digestive tract, skin area and nose. Children often suffer from rough skin, which is commonly referred to as diaper rash. Diaper rash may be caused by irritation of urine and feces, food allergy, allergies to washing medium, or a combination of several factors.
Sometimes these microbes attack several body regions at the same time, but such systemic infections are often called candidates. Systemic yeast infection can develop into a serious condition where yeast invades deeper layers of the skin, deer tissue in some organs, even the bloodstream.
Systemic variants usually occur in patients with poor immune defense, such as HIV patients, diabetic patients or patients weakened by hydrostatic or steroid drugs.
Cause of illness
Generally Candida spp., In particular Candida albicans, are infectious agents. Although these yeasts usually exist in the body, the amount is suppressed by normal body chemistry by friendly bacteria inhabiting skin and body cavities such as bacteria producing lactic acid (Lactobacillus sp.). When yeast becomes infectious, it changes from a round cell morphology to filamentous or branched morphology and often grows into tissues.
When the bacterial flora of the skin and body cavities is disturbed, the yeast grows excessively and becomes susceptible to infection. Skin such as mouth, vagina, and colon, exogenital organ and body cavity include bacterial type bifidobacteria and lactic acid bacteria, these bacteria suppress yeast growth.
The use of antibiotics can kill these friendly bacteria and can facilitate the growth of yeast. If children are used too infrequently with antibiotics, yeast in the body may overgrow chronically and adversely affect health on adulthood.
The use of corticosteroids also can make people susceptible to attacks. Patients with asthma using inhaled corona steroids often suffer from oral cavity.
Using bacterial killing agents is more hygienic and sanitary, potentially killing friendly bacteria and causing yeast attacks. However, lack of washing can also cause yeast infection.
Candida infections can easily occur if the skin area periodically moistens or sweats.
Diet containing excess sugar and other carbohydrates may nourish yeast and cause yeast infectious growth.
Mental and physical stress can reduce the effect of immune defense against yeast and make it more susceptible to attack.
Symposium in various body parts
Yeast infections in female genital organs give itching or burning sensations on the lips of the vagina and reproductive organs, red rash on the external female reproductive organs, and whitish and badly nauseated vomiting. Discharge may also be the only symptom.
Attacks in male genitalia often cause itching pain around the base of the penis head. There may also be whitish liquid substances that have a different smell with consistency with the white smegmas normally produced by the glands of the same area. There may be a red rash accompanying scaling on the outside of the genitalia, especially the penis.
In the mouth, yeast infection gives a wound covered with a layer of ringworm, giving itching and burning pain, the so-called rubbish. There is a white layer and a yellow layer on the tongue, pain and other symptoms do not appear under. One often has a crack in the corner of the mouth.
Stroke in the skin area causes symptoms such as rash, itching, painful areas, body fluids and blisters. Symptoms will be most frequently seen in areas such as the lower side of the shoulder, the inside of the elbow, the folds of the skin, the pelvic region and other somewhat hidden regions.
Yeast infection of the gastrointestinal tract can cause symptoms throughout the digestive tract from the esophagus to the anus. Possible symptoms are problems and pain during swallowing, chest pain, bloating, convulsions, excessive gas production, diarrhea, itching and erosion of the rectal opening, and lactose intolerance.
Overgrowth of the gastrointestinal tract and generalized attack yeast poisons the whole body and also causes symptoms from parts of the body not directly infected: rash, urticaria, itching of the skin, many allergic reaction fatigue Or lethargy, muscle weakness, bone pain and neurological symptoms.
Diagnosis
Yeast infections are often diagnosed by specimens of the affected area. The sample is then incubated and the microbial flora is examined. Often bacterial infections cause the same symptoms, especially from the vaginal area, and the specimen also helps determine the cause of the symptoms.
Standard Treatment
Yeast infections are anti-fugal substances such as clotrimazole, nystatin, fluconazole, ketoconazole, tioconazole (GyneCure), terconazole (Terazole), monazol, miconazole (Mistozo), butoconazole (Femstat), gentana violet.
Vaginally infected tablets, creams or suppositories containing one or more of these substances are usually inserted into the vagina. Men with genital yeast infections and sexual partners of infected women can be treated with local creams based on the same substance.
Several drugs such as fluconazole are also used orally as systemic medication.
In more severe cases amphotericin B, caspofungin, or voriconazole substances are often used.
By localized infection in the vagina, for example, the pharmacological product deprives the infection very effectively.
However, these products do not remove the susceptibility to new infections, it is not very effective if infection spreads more.
Lifestyle habits and natural supplements help reduce the susceptibility of yeast infection and cure if standard treatment does not meet this goal.
Alternative treatment
- Garlic helps kill yeast and can be used as an oral remedy for yeast infection.
- Rinse with boric acid solution, you can kill yeast and rinse body cavities. Suppositories containing boric acid can also be used to kill vaginal or anal yeast.
- Diluted tea tree oil helps yeast infection in the vagina by using it locally.
- Fatty acid caprylic acid can kill yeast, this acid supplement may help yeast infection.
- Propolis is an antimicrobial substance of bees. Topical application of oral supplements or propolis solutions has been shown to be useful against yeast infection.
- Cranberry juice also helps kill yeast by helping bacterial infection of the urinary tract and making the urine more acidic.
- Lactoferrin is a protein that binds iron and can be kept apart from pathogenic bacteria and yeast and inhibits the growth of these organisms. This protein is naturally found in milk and secretions in many parts of the body. It is part of the natural defense against microorganisms.
- Products containing seeds of parent bacteria (lactobacteria and bifidobacteria) can reestablish normal bacterial flora and can help yeast infection. Affinity bacteria interfere with the growth of pathogenic microorganisms. Such seeds are often called probiotics. There are probiotic products for both oral and topical.
- Yoghourt contains friendly bacterial species. Consuming yogurt helps to normalize the microbial flora in the gut and genital zone. Yoghourt can also be used, for example, as a topical therapeutic in the vagina.
Lifestyle measures for prevention and treatment
Many lifestyle measures can be used to prevent the occurrence of yeast infection and help to cure chronic yeast infections.
- Do not consume excessive amounts of carbohydrates and should not consume carbohydrates to quickly pick up and use like pure sugar, refined floors, bread made from sophisticated floors. Instead, we recommend you to take full advantage of carbohydrate-containing complete corn products, beans and peas.
- Wash the whole body, including parts of the genitals, with light soap or pure water, or take a bath every day.
- Do not use antibacterial agents when washing the skin, reproductive organs, rectal opening or oral hygiene. For intimate cleaning, pure water is the best.
- Avoid unnecessary antibiotic treatment or steroid medication.
- Stressful elements and practices in daily life should be avoided. Meditation is a good way to lower stress.
- Clothing and shoes should be ventilated so that moisture does not clump to the skin surface or skin folds. If moisture can not be avoided, please wash and dry the moist part of the skin on a regular basis.
