Babies and toddlers can get yeast infections just like adults do especially in there early years while in diapers.  Because yeast likes to grow in there skin folds.  The yeast infection babies and toddlers get is caused by candida known as albicans, and is a very common thing known as child yeast infection.    You’re doctor can examine your baby or toddler to determine if he or she might have a rash on there groin or thrush in there mouth which is caused by a yeast infection.  Child yeast infection is not fun for little ones because they do not understand why they are feeling so uncomfortable and can be very miserable for them to go through.  You’re doctor may prescribe an antifungal cream for your little one to treat your Child’s yeast infection.  If you notice your baby or toddler is not getting any better after using the antifungal cream you should call you’re doctor right away especially if you notice a rash on the bottom that will not go away.  

Things that can cause a child yeast infection are:

Antibiotics, when bacteria is killed the yeast will find a way to thrive. As a mother you need to be aware of children who are taking antibiotics so you know what too expect.  Another cause of child yeast infection is because their mouth has not yet had proper organism concentration and yeast will develop very easily and cause oral thrush. 

Oral child yeast infection is called thrush and there are many children with this very problem.  Parents should always make sure they’re changing babies diapers regularly and make sure their bottom and groin area are clean and dry after bathing and changing diapers consistently.   Child yeast infection is not life threatening if brought under control quickly.  However, it can be very irritating and uncomfortable for you baby or toddler until the yeast infection is cleared up.

I have found this all natural cure for yeast infection that is perfectly safe for your child.  Please click here to read more about it.

If gone untreated, yeast infectioncan eventually become systemic (life threatening).  Candida (yeast) will produce mycotoxins which are biologically active substances.  During an untreated yeast infection, these toxins can enter the blood stream and cause a vast number of symptoms related to the central nervous system such as light headedness or dizziness, confusion or mental fogginess, loss of memory, fatigue, nausea, headaches, even numbness or tingling, and many others as well.  These symptoms often appear the same as those of hypoglycemia or low blood sugar.  However, very often they are the result of mycotoxins from an untreated yeast infection.

Overcolonization of the mycelial form of Candida during an untreated yeast infection can invade the bloodstream and infect virtually every organ and tissue in the human body.  One particular organ that is affected during an untreated yeast infection is the bowels.  An untreated yeast ifection will often cause the bowels to become more permeable which will allow undigested or partially undigested protean into the bloodstream.  When this happened to me the symptoms were; allergies to many different foods, particularly spicy foods which I love.  My face swelled up like a balloon.  Skin allergies.  The skin on the palm side of my hands (fingers up to the wrists) completely pealed several times. 

After seeing 3 different doctors to determine the causes of my sypmtoms we had still not reached a conclusion.  You will find that many doctors to this day still refuse to accept that yeast infection is real.  Do to the ineffectiveness of these doctors I would hate to speculate how many yeast infections go untreated every year.  The pharmaceutical research just doesn’t seem to be there.  I was actually very lucky that I was eventually diagnosed with a yeast infection and even luckier when I stumbled upon an all natural way to cure it.  The amazing thing is, in about 12 hours I had no more symptoms of my previously untreated yeast infection other than where my skin had pealed away from my hands.  Please click here to read more about this all natural cure for untreated yeast infection.

It just struck me.  Here we have a blog dedicated to helping readers understand yeast infection and we have yet to post what causes a yeast infection.  I apologize.  Perhaps this should have been the first post but when dealing with any issue, I guess I tend to dig right in to the meat of it.  So, what causes a yeast infection?

What we refer to as yeast infection or thrush is actually a fungal infection called candidiasis.  Candida, the fungus, is actually a normal component of every human being.  It is only when there is an over growth of that candida that a yeast infection will occur.  Natural bacteria in the human body and the immune system will normally keep the candida from multiplying uncontrollably.  So what causes a yeast infection is anything that affects the natural habitat of the bacteria (lactobacilli) or a weakened immune system.  Internal disturbances of the lactobacilli can be caused by hormonal changes such as what occurs during pregnancy, or when taking any type of prescription medication containing hormones such as oral birth control pills, antibiotics and steroids as well as infertility treatment.  

The lactobacilli’s natural habitat can also be encroached upon by using certain products.  Among those linked to what causes a yeast infection are:  lubricants which contain the ingredient glycerin; douches; and detergents.  Vaginal sex immediately following anal intercourse can also disturb the lactobacilli and be what causes a yeast infection.

As already mentioned, a weakened immune system is a common cause of a yeast infection.  Contributing conditions of a weakened immune system include: diabetes, cancer and cancer treatments, HIV, mononucleosis,  and even stress and chronic fatigue syndrom called myalgic encephalomylitis.

As you can see what causes a yeast infection can be a wide range of reasons.  The important thing to keep in mind is that it is not all that difficult to get under control.  Click here to find out more about what causes a yeast infection and how I cured my yeast infection in about 12 hours.

As mentioned in an earlier post, getting a yeast infection while pregnant is very common.  While it is much more common in the first trimester, yeast infection while pregnant does sometimes occur in the second and third trimesters.  The problem arises because it is not necessarily good for baby to take prescription medications for yeast infection while pregnant.  Expectant mothers should look for a natural cure for their yeast infection. 

Yogurt for example is one of the great healing foods.  Thousands of women have used yogurt to treat yeast infection while pregnant successfully for years.  Treating yeast infection while pregnant is only one advantage of eating yogurt.  It has also been linked to easing lactose intolerance, preventing ulcers and boosting the immune system.  All of which are good for baby.

Yeast infections are a very common during pregnancy but it’s more likely in the second trimester of pregnancy especially.  You probably will notice a thin, white, or even odd smelling discharge.  It’s a common thing and quite normal.  If you think you might be experiencing yeast infection, continue reading so you’ll have some useful information to prepare youself so when you talk with your primary physician.  A yeast infection is usually more difficult to get under control during your pregnancy and can cause a lot of discomfort.  Seeking professional help is the best thing for you to do and the sooner the better.

What is a yeast infection?

It is when the normal levels of acid and yeast are in the vagina area and are out of balance, and it allows yeast to overgrow causing it to be very uncomfortable for you though it’s not a serious condition, called yeast infection.

Causes of yeast infections are:

·               Hormonal changes that come with pregnancy or before your period

·               Taking hormones or birth control pills

·               Taking antibiotics, or steroids

·               High blood sugar, as in diabetes

·               Vaginal intercourse

·               Douching

·               Blood or semen

Why are yeast infections so common with pregnancy?

Your body is going though so many different changes and it is very difficult for your body to keep up.

The symptoms of yeast infections are:

·               Discharge that is usually white, similar to cottage cheese and may smell like yeast/bread

·               Other discharge may be greenish or yellowish, also similar to cottage cheese and may smell like yeast/bread

·               Copious amounts of discharge

·               Redness, itching, or irritation of the lips of the vagina

·               Burning during urination or intercourse

You also could be experiencing the following:

If you have experienced symptoms of a yeast infection but your primary doctor hasn’t ruled out your diagnosis you could have any of the following:

·               Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STD’s) like Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, & Trichomoniasis

·               A vaginal infection called Bacterial Agenesis

  If you would like to know for sure if you might have an yeast infection with your pregnancy  your primary doctor will use a simple swab and remove discharge and vaginal secretions and look through a microscope and test it.  And then he can usually diagnose a yeast infection.

 Most doctors will recommend using vaginal cream if untreated a yeast infection can take any where from 1 or 2 weeks to clear up during your pregnancy.  The oral medication called Diflucan is a single dose medication, but it has not yet been proven safe while your going through pregnancy and lactation. If it is not treated during your pregnancy your yeast infection could pass through your babies’ mouth most likely.  It is called thrush” and can be treated with a medication called Nystatin.

You can usually prevent a yeast infection or a recurring yeast infection by doing the following:

·               Wear loose, cotton, breathable clothing, and cotton underwear.

·               After regular, thorough washing, use your blow dryer on a low, cool setting to help dry your genital area.

·               Always wipe from front to back after using the restroom.

·               Shower immediately after you swim. Change out of swimsuit, workout clothes or other damp clothes as soon as possible.

·               Don’t douche; and don’t use feminine hygiene sprays, sanitary pads, and tampons that contain deodorant, bubble bath, colored or perfumed toilet paper

·               Include yogurt with “lactobacillus acidophilus” in your diet

·               Limit sugar intake, as sugar promotes the growth of yeast infections

Get plenty of rest to make it easier for your body to fight yeast infections.

 I can say I do not know how many time I have been to the doctor with a yeast infection and getting the same story right over and over again.  For instance, do you and your partner use condoms? Because some woman can get a yeast infection when there partner uses protection in the bedroom. I have also herd using scented toilet paper can cause a yeast infection. Not whiping correctly when using the ladys room can cause bacteria that can contribute to a yeast infection or when taking certain medications provided by  your doctor a yeast infection may occure as well. I have heard and read it all. Some of the symptoms of an untreated yeast infection from my experience are the following:

• painful irratation
• redness
• sorness
• swelling, itching
• dicomfort at the infection sight

There are two different types of yeast infections, inner and outer. Some woman have both. The inner untreated yeast infection that is located inside your vagina is the type that causes swelling itching and alot of discomfort and sometimes it may even cause numbing.  The second type is the outer yeast infection surounding your outer vaginal area and causes itching, reddness, and sometime stinging sensation around the sight.  From previous experiences if you keep itching the area it will cause major swelling on the outside area to the point of being very painful. so it is best to get it under control as soon as possible to prevent irratation and discomfort.
