Infection Yeast

What is interesting to note is they don't mention men, but men can get them too. I think the symptoms are different. I knew a woman who was suffering from the recurring all the time. They ended up treating her husband as part of her treatment.

I knew another woman who as long as you took the birth control pill had to deal with these infections each month. This is a miserably uncomfortable thing to deal with and I am glad to see that there appears to be a way to prevent them.

The pill itself even before determining it could be used for prevention was a very wonderful improvement over the creams. The treatment with creams is almost worse than the ailment!

Yeast Infection Health & Special Psychology

There is now a condition known as "high yeast" where it's just a high concentration of yeast but not a true infection. It can actually cause quite a lot of symptoms -- fatigue, joint pain, food cravings, among some others. There are some "free" tests to determine if you have this condition, but these are generally just marketing gimmicks to get you to buy some silly "cure."
