Top Ten List
A
yeast infection,
also called candidiasis in scientific circles, is a common, but uncomfortable ailment for both men and women. If left undiagnosed, this may bring in serious
diseases which not only heighten the weakness of a person's immune
system, but may even be life-threatening in the long run. Keep on the
lookout for these ten signs you might have yeast infection.
First, there are five general symptoms which will almost always come
together no matter which kind of candidiasis a person may be afflicted
with.
1. The affected body part itches severely. Yeast infections will
actually prefer to grown in locations where scratching would be next to
impossible, such as the mouth or the vagina. Human skin affected by
yeast infection will have red rashes, which may be more pronounced in
skin patches with hair growing on them.
2. On one hand, the body part feels like it burns, or is sore to the
touch. This may not necessarily cause blisters or include itchiness. On
the other hand, the body part can feel tingly or numb. This lack of
sensation does not mean that the part is safe from yeast infection.
3. Sensitivity to certain chemicals is heightened. Triggers include
antibiotic formulas, sugar, refined carbohydrates (also known as most
processed food), and of course, yeast.
4. Mental and physical coordination are also affected. Sufferers cannot
balance themselves or move the way they want. They cannot focus on
tasks, and become lazy through no fault of their own. Mood swings and
heightened negative emotions are other indicators.
5. For genitalia and the digestive system, there is a white or whitish
mucous discharge. In the mouth, there are white or whitish patches.
Both the discharge and the patches have the consistency and smell of
bread or a light cheese, though the smell can also be associated with
beer.
There are also symptoms specific to the body parts affected by
candidiasis, five of which are discussed below:
1. In gastrointestinal candidiasis, the digestive system is upset. The
stomach in particular either bloats with constipation, or it acts up
due to diarrhea or abdominal cramps (or, at times, both). Bowel
movement is not spared either, because yeast infection causes the
irritable bowel syndrome.
2. Women are the primary victims of genitourinary candidiasis. But men
are also susceptible, and not just through sexual intercourse. Speaking
of which, intercourse is painful and urination becomes more urgent for
sufferers of yeast infection. Ladies may have unusual menstrual cramps
while gentlemen may have prostatitis.
3. Oral candidiasis, also called thrush or yeast infection of the mouth causes dryness inside the mouth. The tongue cracks
while the gums bleed. Fissures appear at the corners of the mouth.
Swallowing becomes difficult.
4. In respiratory candidiasis, persistent coughing, wheezing, or
shortness of breath can manifest. Another indicator is when the chest
constantly tightens or is in pain.
5. Candidiasis causes chronic inflammation and irritation of the eye
and the conjunctivae (the mucous that covers the white area of the
eye). The retina (the nerve-ended part which captures images for the
brain) may defend itself against yeast infection by collecting pus
inside an inflamed tissue pocket. This may permanently damage the
sufferer’s eyesight.
One last note of caution: despite the fact that you can name ten signs
you might have yeast infection, you may actually suffer no symptoms at
all. Or you may bear symptoms similar to those of other sicknesses. If
you feel like something is wrong but cannot put a finger on it, be sure
to consult a doctor.
