Recurring yeast infections are common in women and this is when we are thinking of vaginal yeast infections. Almost all women in their productive age suffer from infections at different times in their lifetime. This is mainly because of the yeast in the vagina.
Yeast is a fungus that is found in other places of the body including the vagina and it can cause disaster when it overgrows. The fungus is called monilia or candida which are the scientific names for the one-celled organism.
There are many factors that trigger its growth in women and this trigger can also cause recurring infections. The first and most crucial one is hormonal imbalance in women.
This means that there is an alteration in the functions of chemicals in the body and this can cause yeast to blossom due to the absence of other vital organisms like friendly bacteria or probiotics.
The imbalance is caused by several factors which are menopause, periods, birth control pills, pregnancy, and hormonal replacement therapy.
All these factors are vital to consider and see how you can prevent recurring yeast infections. It will be wise to consider looking for another birth control method if the pills are not working for you.
Some people are just known to welcome new things and they hold on to what they know. There is no need of risking recurring infections.
Some of the things that will prevent recurring yeast infections are to make sure you treat and cure yourself.
You are no longer thinking about recurring infection when you are pregnant but, you are fearing for the safety of your baby during childbirth so that you do not pass the infection to them. Pregnancy is temporary and you do not have to be worried for long.
Menstruation is another factor to consider and it can present a great challenge when it comes to recurring infections by yeast. Make sure you consult your doctor for good medication and advice.
Finally, menopause presents a great challenge also for women not only with hot flashes but with thinning of vaginal walls which causes the infection. Women often complain of candidiasis at this particular time and they are given medication to heal the infection.
It is also for a short time and the symptoms are over although some women have continued to report recurring yeast infections.
For the recurring infection, there are stronger drugs can be administered to help cure the problem. You are advised to see a doctor if a yeast infection comes back more than 4 times in a year.
The main purpose of this will be to rule out any other hidden illness which might be causing the yeast to grow. Do not wait for too long so that if there is a problem, it can be solved in the best way possible.
