Candida Question #27 Signs & Symptoms of Vaginal Yeast Infection

Okay, this is one I hear regularly from women who are concerned with a vaginal irritation. They’re not sure if they have bacterial vaginosis, genital herpes, or a vaginal infection, or even a sexually transmitted disease like Chlamydia.

What you’ll typically find with a vaginal yeast infection is a thick, white discharge or it could just be thinnish, but there’ll still be often a white discharge. There can be intense irritation and redness. There are many symptoms depending on how severe the condition is, but the common ones are the irritation, the itching, it can be an uncomfortable sensation, there can be burning going on with urination and also painful sex. So these are the common ones that you’ll find.

The most likely time you’ll find vaginal irritations having to do with a yeast infection, in my opinion, will be three to four days before the menstrual period. That’s often when they’ll be highlighted or they’ll be worse. Some women also complain of an increase in symptoms after specific foods or alcohol. Generally, there could be a bit of a musty sort of an odor, nowhere near as severe as bacterial vaginosis, which has a fishy brine-like odor and a watery thin dark discharge. So, you won’t really get that with the vaginal infection.

So I hope that answers your question, what are the typical symptoms of a vaginal yeast infection?

Thanks for your question.

Candida Question #26 Can Monistat Cause Diarrhea?

Well, I think that’s a no-brainer. Any time you take a drug, you can incur side effects. But drugs like Monistat can have many side effects.

Here are some of them, mild vaginal burning, irritation, itching, constipation or diarrhea, stomach pains, vomiting, severe allergic reactions including rash, hives, itching, difficulty breathing, tightness in the chest, swelling in the mouth, face, lips or tongue, fever or chills, foul-smelling vaginal discharge, nausea, even severe or prolonged vaginal burning, itching or irritation.

Well, I think I’ll take the vaginal problem, and I’ll leave the Monistat because why would you want to even risk developing some of these side effects? All pharmaceutical drugs come at a cost, and the cost is symptom suppression and unfortunately a lot of side effects can be induced. Why would you want to even go there?

Why don’t you look at natural treatment for a vaginal problem? You’re not going to incur the risk of side effects. You’re not going to incur the long-term risk of a disease you’ve developed from some pharmaceutical drug. It makes a lot of sense. It makes more sense to treat the cause rather than to keep treating the symptoms over and again.

Chapter 5 in my book, Candida Crusher, has got a very good protocol for you to follow if you have a chronic vaginal infection. Chapter 4 will explain in detail a quick-step guide on how to get rid of an acute infection. Chapter 5 will go into much more detail on chronic vaginal infections. No pharmaceutical drugs are required in most cases.

So I hope that answers your question. You can get diarrhea from Monistat. In fact, you can get a lot more than you bargain for from Monistat.

Thank you.

Candida Question #25 Is There Any Connection Between Candida and Endometriosis?

Well there certainly is a relationship between chronic Candida and endometriosis. I’ve written about this extensively in my book, Candida Crusher.

I had a female doctor friend who spent some time in Canada at a medical conference on endometriosis and mentioned that for three days they spoke predominantly about how to eradicate yeast infections in women.

Many women with acute vaginal yeast infections will treat these infections with various preparations, creams and applicators and take drugs like fluconazole. And in many instances, these infections don’t clear up, so stronger treatments are used or treatments of similar nature but for longer duration. And all you’re going to do is drive the condition further from the vagina into the endometrium where you’ll create an inflammatory condition. It makes sense. If you keep treating a local condition, you drive the condition into the body; you’re going to create a more chronic condition.

Many women I’ve seen with endometriosis have told me that they used to suffer from vaginal thrush and the vaginal thrush was treated over and again. And then down the track, they developed cysts in the endometrium. We do see some cases of endometriosis that have not got a thrush background, but in my opinion, most of them do.

So if you want to prevent your chances of developing endometriosis, it’s a very good idea to get on top of your vaginal yeast infection sooner rather than later. It needs to be taken seriously like any infection. You need to treat it locally and you need to treat it internally. And if you read Chapter 5 in my book, it explains the whole protocol for you.

So, in my opinion, there is a link and if you do some online searches, you’ll certainly find there are studies that validate this relationship.

Thank you.
