Symptoms of Yeast Infection

Posted by DietExpert On January - 24 - 2009 0 Comment

A yeast infection can manifest itself in so many different ways. Because our bodies naturally have Candida albicans, everyone has the potential to develop a yeast infection. The best way to fight a yeast infection is to keep your body balanced, eat healthy, stay clean and get plenty of rest.

Until you become very familiar with the symptoms of a yeast infection, talk to your doctor if you have combinations that suggest one. The body is a funny machine and things aren’t always what they seem.

In general, the symptoms of a yeast infection (anywhere in the body) can include:
•    Muscle pain
•    Sensitivity to different chemicals
•    Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar)
•    Fatigue
•    Lethargy
•    Migraine headaches
•    Weakness
•    Respiratory problems
These symptoms alone do not necessarily imply a yeast infection. Many different illnesses can lead to these symptoms. However, when combined with other telltale signs, a yeast infection can be easy to detect.

Identifying the location of a yeast infection

Yeast infections have been known to occur in many parts of the body including in the mouth, the breasts, intestines, vagina, and around genitals.

Mouth yeast infections are often include the symptoms above together with a white or yellow cream-like coating in the mouth, cracks and redness in the mouth and in extreme cases around the lips.

Breast yeast infections can be identified by redness, soreness, cracking and blistering. Shooting pains may occur when breast feeding.

A vaginal yeast infection may include burning when urinating, itching and pain in the genital area. Sex may become painful and you may experience a white or yellow discharge.

Male yeast infection can be indicated by a rash on the head of the penis, blistering on the shaft, painful urination and even discharge.
