Yeast Infection Review – Linda Allen

by lisbethsmith

Like many other diseases, about yeast infections, science has not yet said the last word – we do not know why some women can easily become infected and others do not get sick at all, and why some women get sick all over again. Rather, the theory can be roughly divided into three groups:

Theory changes the hormonal balance, the theory of a weak immune system and the theory of allergies. Theory of change hormonal balance, some physicians are convinced – and there is evidence that – that the reason that many women do far more sensitive to yeast infections

during pregnancy, birth control pills, or before the onset of menstruation, lies in changing the hormonal balance, which accompanies these situations is higher than normal levels of certain hormones.

Alter the vaginal environment from moderately acidic to strongly alkaline, which leads to a rapid rise yeast. (Diabetes helps create an acidic environment due to the high level of sugar in the blood, and some doctors think that this condition can be simulated by taking once very high in sugar.) Some researchers have suggested that higher levels of progesterone, which is observed during pregnancy or while taking pill, “feeds” yeast, causing their rapid growth.

The theory of weak immune systems in some cases, antibiotics such as tetracycline or penicillin, and the use of topical preparations can kill harmful bacteria. But it usually die and friendly organisms – lactic acid bacillus living in the intestines and vagina and help to control the growth of yeast.

One doctor likened the use of antibiotics in women prone to yeast infections, with across-the dismissal of prison guards. In the absence of natural “security guards”, limiting their growth, yeast breaks free.
