Monistat - The Magic Pill for Candida

2010-08-12T01:12:00.000-07:00

I read an article on Ezine Articles not long ago and this is what I found out about Monistat and its side effects.

For those who do not know what Monistat is, it is basically treatment for yeast infection.

However, despite its stunning credentials, this article tells us that there are side effects of using Monistat, namely burning.

Anyone who has experienced such burning effects or anything out of the norm have to stop use immediately and seek professional medical help as its main active ingredient, Miconazole, is a likely culprit of the side effects you are feeling.

People who do not cease usage will risk the skin damage where the burning is strongest as the medication will kill the skin cells. Some people try to apply it in small doses but because candida mutates to resist treatment, you are giving the yeast a chance to become stronger.

The article is rather interesting and if interested, here's the link: http://ezinearticles.com/?Yeast-Infection-Home-Remedy---Monistat-Side-Effects&id=4605006

Identifying a Yeast Infection - How You Can Tell For Sure

2010-07-02T07:59:00.000-07:00

Note: There are many types of yeast infection, including balanitis, intertrigo, oral thrush etc. I will try to address the common types, mainly vaginal itching and oral thrush.

For visible areas, the very first sign of infection is itching and redness around the area of discomfort. These are the most common symptoms of yeast infection. However, these signs are also present in most types of skin infection or rash and are therefore not clear indicators of whether you have yeast infection.

To ensure that what you have is yeast infection, so that you can take the right course of action, I will go on to talk about the other symptoms of yeast infection that differ from area to area (e.g. candidal infections (otherwise known more commonly as yeast infections) in your oral cavity look different than if it occurs in the genitalia.)

One of the most common areas affected by candidiasis is the vagina and the vulva, the female genital areas. If infected in those areas, symptoms are very likely to be pronounced with severe itching. It is not uncommon to see burning inflamed vaginal lips and thick mouldy discharge. For some, a pungent vaginal odor may also be present.

Make sure however, that it is not bacterial vaginosis that you are infected with. Most of the time, an easy way to tell is the lack of irritation or pain. If you only experience pungent white vaginal discharge, it would do you good to check if it is bacterial vaginosis because candidiasis generally come with itchiness and irritation.

The second type of candidal infection I will be discussing is oral infection, also known as thrush to some. Three major risk groups are: newborn babies, diabetic patients and women undergoing fluctuations in hormonal levels.

Oral candidiasis can be identified rather easily as they look like thick white deposits inside the mouth. The infected area may also appear red and protruding due to inflammation. Do not try to scrape this areas as you may start bleeding.

Important thing to note is that mothers should not try to breastfeed their children if found that they are infected with thrush as this will "spread" and the mother is likely to also suffer from burning inflamed nipples.

Lastly, if you have never suffered from candidiasis before, I strongly advise a visit to the doctor before you attempt any yeast infection home remedy. The situation may be aggravated by applying methods suited for treating yeast infections on other diseases.

On the other hand, if you have ever suffered from yeast infection previously and recognise the symptoms, it should be rather safe to go ahead with home treatment. Usual home remedies I know of include ingestion of yoghurt or application of garlic on infected areas.

In conclusion, it is of utmost importance to identify your disease before treating it to ensure you are doing the right thing to solve the problem. If at all unsure, please please visit a doctor to confirm. Even though this may cost you, it is still the safest method. As for candidiasis, while it is rather simple to identify, you might want to visit a doctor as well before using any home remedies as you may be allergic or not receptive to certain products. Most importantly, be sure and be healthy.

How to Recognize Vaginal Yeast Infection

2010-06-26T10:04:00.000-07:00

Yeast infections are caused by an overgrowth of Candida albicans, a type of fungus. These infections affect the vagina and the vulva area outside of the vagina. Yeast is present as normal flora in the vagina, however if the fungus grows out of control, an infection will occur.

The most common symptoms of these infections are:

o Extreme itching in the area of the vagina and/or vulva
o Thick, white, cottage-cheese consistency vaginal discharge (odorless)
o Visible irritation in the area of the vulva
o General soreness in the affected area
o Pain during sex and/or during urination

Diagnosis and Treatment

The symptoms of these kind of infections are similar to other typed of vaginal infections, therefore women should consult their physician if they suspect that they have an infection. Depending on the severity of the infection, the physician may prescribe either oral medication (pills) or a cream. It should also be noted that immediate treatment for yeast infections can be sought using over-the-counter creams and suppositories to treat the infection. These remedies range in from single day to week long treatments.

Causes and Prevention

Causes of vaginal yeast infections include, but are not limited to menstruation, pregnancy, illness, taking medicines such as antibiotics, diseases such as diabetes and HIV, hormonal changes, illness, stress, and lack of sleep. Do the following to avoid vaginal yeast infection symptoms:

o Wear cotton and other breathable types of undergarment fabrics
o Avoid hygiene products with scents or perfumes and avoid douches
o Avoid hot tubs and extremely hot baths
o Change tampons and pads frequently during menstruation
