Many
women discover antibiotics used for urinary
track infections can cause a yeast
infection. Antibiotics
eliminate friendly bacteria, thereby encouraging an
environment for overgrowth of the Candida Albicans
yeast. We
rely on our friendly bacteria to keep our immune system
in check and once we began using antibiotics, our immune
system become vulnerable. Every instance
of using an antibiotic increases our chance of a
reoccurrence of both diseases. Over the counter
drugs used for a urinary track infection and yeast
infections only mask the symptoms giving us a false
sense of treatment. Doctors really
don’t acknowledge Candida as a systemic problem; they
treat the variety of symptoms normally associated with
the infection, ignoring the basic cause. The real cure
comes from natural remedies, usually home made and more
reliable. 
Using
alternative treatments and a holistic approach to cure
yeast infections and urinary tract infections are
beneficial to your overall health by eliminating
reoccurrences and quicker healing
times.
