Systemic Yeast Infection
Yeast infections are due to an increase in the number of Candida albicans yeast in the body and prefer to live in the dark, warm, moist areas such as the armpits, mouth, vagina, penis, and skin. When the yeast affects one or more of the systems of the human body, they are referred to as a systemic yeast infection. Even though the yeast can spread to any system in the body, it will generally inhabit the reproductive, digestive, and immune systems. Many of these systemic yeast infection are due to an over- use of antibiotics which are used to treat other types of infections.
Systemic yeast infections have been labeled a new "epidemic" since the newest information has come out about them. The study of systemic yeast infection is a relatively new branch of medical science and valuable information will probably soon be derived from this science.
Systemic yeast infection leads to a variety of other medical problems including chronic fatigue, allergies, chronic infections, and many others. They are also a major source of recurrent and chronic yeast infection conditions such as dandruff and vaginal yeast infections. Additional systemic yeast infection symptoms include arthritis, gout, chronic fatigue syndrome, high cholesterol, fibromyalgia, Crohn's disease, and irritable bowel syndrome. Allergies, asthma, acid reflux, acne, hives, depression, dandruff, eczema, rosacea, and arteriosclerosis are also associated. An unknown cause is where most of these diseases come from.
A Candida or systemic yeast infection will affect up to 80-90% of all men, women, and children. The misdiagnosis of many common diseases is due to the Candida albicans yeast being the underlying cause.
Treatment
If you have been diagnosed as having a systemic yeast infection, there are several steps that need to be taken in order to find a cure. One of the steps involves the testing of stool, tissue, and blood to see if the Candida yeast is present. Amphotericin or flucytosine could be prescribed by your doctor if you test positive and will most likely be given intravenously. One way to combat the yeast is to use enzymes which help the body restore its normal balance. In order to recolonize the beneficial probiotic bacteria and flush out the yeast, a cleansing of the toxins in the body is required.
A medical doctor may need to change your diet, supplements, exercise program, diagnosis, and treatment if you think you may have a systemic yeast infection.A bigger problem can occur with the use of antibiotics, which have no affect on the Candida yeast and actually increase their numbers.
The oral treatments prescribed by a medical doctor are very effective in treating a systemic yeast infection. Diflucan, an oral treatment, is the highest rated yeast infection treatment. In a recent survey, nine out of ten sufferers were satisfied with this systemic yeast infection treatment.
Even though the systemic yeast infection is mostly secondary, it will weaken the body's defenses against these invaders. Regardless, systemic yeast infection can be quite varied in symptoms and can also be life threatening.
