One of the most annoying conditions that almost every woman has had at
one time or another is a "vaginal yeast infection." A vaginal yeast
infection is also called "Candida." You probably have had at least one
yeast infection in your lifetime. Sometimes this annoying infection
caused by the Candida albicans fungus, will appear two or more times
in a woman's life, however, this is a small percentage of women.
Usually with the proper medical treatment these will improve with
repeated treatment.
If you are a woman with unexplained, repeat episodes of vaginal yeast
infections and your doctor has not already recommended you testing for
diabetes or HIV, you might ask him for these tests. Diabetes and HIV
are two conditions that suppress the immune system and increase the
risk of repeated infections.
Who is more susceptible to getting a yeast infection?
? Women under stress from poor diet, lack of sleep, illness or when
taking antibiotics.? Women with immune-suppressing diseases like
diabetes and HIV infection....
