Yeast Infection Symptoms
What are the symptoms of a yeast infection? How do you know if you have one? We have provided a free excerpt from The Candida Yeast Infection Cure to help.
Symptoms of a candida infection vary, depending on the area of the body that the infection is located. Most often, yeast infections give the sensation of itching, pain, burning, or soreness. In severe cases, the skin may crack and bleed.
Vaginal Yeast Infection Symptoms.
The most common symptoms of a vaginal yeast infection include redness, itching, burning, or soreness. Some women also experience a discharge that is clumpy and either white, light yellow, gray, or light green. Women without yeast infections have discharge too, of course: it is a natural function of the body. However, when the discharge is thick and accompanied by discomfort, candida could be to blame.
Symptoms of a vaginal yeast infection are similar to a bacterial infection of the vagina. One way to tell the difference is that a yeast infection may have a “yeasty odor” whereas a bacterial infection may smell “fishy.” However, some infections are not associated with an odor, or even vaginal discharge.
Note: Women with chronic vaginal yeast infections may never get a systemic yeast infection. However, chronic yeast infections should still be watched because they have been associated with things like infertility or diabetes.
Oral Thrush Symptoms.
Oral thrush usually manifests as having a milky appearance in the mouth, particularly on the tongue, that cannot be readily removed by a toothbrush or cloth. In particularly bad cases, it can have the appearance of cottage cheese, and when wiped away pain and bleeding occur. Other symptoms sometimes include difficulty swallowing or increased body temperature.
Yeast Infection In The Ear.
Ear infections can be caused by yeast, leading to piercing pain within the ear. The infection can spread from deep in the ear cavity to the outer portion of the ear, causing dry, flaky skin that itches and burns. Often, ear infections caused by yeast begin in the mouth, and spread into the ear canal and throat. If you have had frequent chest and throat colds that do not seem to respond to antibiotics, it is worth checking to see if yeast is the root cause of your problems. Several drops of tea tree oil in two ounces of carrier oil such as almond oil can help with a yeast infection of the ear. Shake well before using.
Symptoms Of Candida On The Skin.
When yeast infections occur on the skin, they are typically found in areas that accumulate moisture such as armpits, under breasts, along the groin, and within skin folds. Women with large breasts are particularly vulnerable to under-breast yeast infections. The area experiences swelling and redness, along with pain and itching. In some cases, skin will crack and flake off and the wound will weep.
Yeast Growth In The Lungs.
The most common sign of a yeast infection in the lungs is a shortness of breath and a sense of lesser lung capacity. This is because additional mucus is in the lungs preventing proper breathing. Other signs include coughing, chest pain, and joint pain. Yeast infections in the lungs can spread to other organs in the body, causing...
