Other Signs You Might Have Yeast Infection
There are other signs you should look out for. And these are symptoms I guess you would not have thought would be linked to yeast infection, but they can be. These are just the main ones: acne, skin lesions, chronic rash, depression, mood swings, memory loss, fatigue, irritability, aching or swelling joints, etc.
Mainstream Treatment
Treatment normally consists of creams applied locally to the infected area, and, sometimes pills taken with water. For oral infections you are normally given pastilles to suck or a liquid medication that you 'swish' around your mouth and then swallow. All these are available by prescription or over-the-counter.
These 'drug-based' remedies can be very effective at the start. But of the 75% of women who will suffer a yeast infection at least once in their lifetime, very many women will suffer recurring yeast infections; yeast infections that go and keep coming back, making their lives absolutely miserable.
It is believed that one of the reasons this happens is because the treatment described above really only treats the 'symptoms' not the root cause of the infection, and, the root cause of the infection -- a fungus called Candida Albicans -- can build up a resistance to the drugs being used, so that the drugs eventually become ineffective.
Alternative Treatment
Many people for very different reasons (e.g. being pregnant, bad side-effects from drugs, recurring yeast infections, etc.) have turned to alternative remedies. And, since the reason for looking at alternatives is to do with the negative aspects of mainstream drug-based treatments, they have sought out and found 'natural' remedies.
Thousands of people who used to suffer, as you are suffering right now, have at last discovered a natural approach that has completely cured them, and, now they are living their lives to the full again
