Causes
of yeast infections
Yeast
infections are caused by an overgrowth of Candida
fungus. The Candida species is present in small
quantities in the body normally. However, sometimes,
this internal balance is disturbed due to:
·
Hormonal
imbalance
·
Excess
use of antibiotics
·
Radiation
·
Poor
diet
·
Stress.
A diagnosis is
made after the patient complains of itching, soreness,
excessive discharge and most important of all, pelvic
pain. Pelvic pain can also indicate a more serious type
of yeast infection. Hence, you should take note of this
problem as soon as possible.
Characteristics
of pelvic pain:
Pelvic
pain can be experienced as sharp stabs or a throbbing
sensation in the pelvic area. This pain is experienced
more during sexual intercourse. In women, pelvic pain
can also be located near the vagina. If a yeast
infection is serious, you can experience pelvic pain
accompanied by fever and chills.
Because
generalized pelvic pain can occur with many problems,
some being quite minor, how do you know when you should
be worried about the condition and when to seek out
medical consultation.
Soreness,
inflammation, white discharge and other symptoms merit
immediate attention. You should also get worried when
the pain is resistant to
treatment.
Treating
pelvic pain
Many
people resort to painkillers, physiotherapy, acupuncture
and herbal remedies in order to get rid of pelvic pain.
Unfortunately, until the yeast infection is cured, the
pain will keep returning despite all these measures.
This is because pelvic pain is a symptom and not a
condition itself. Hence, the treatment for yeast
infection is imperative to get permanent
relief.
It
has been proved that conventional medicine is not very
effective when it comes to curing yeast infection. As
the underlying causes of this condition are not
addressed by conventional treatment, yeast infection
continues to thrive. Conventional medication is also one
dimensional and more superficial. As against this, yeast
infection is a complicated condition that sees through
the gimmicks of drugs easily. Drugs and other forms of
treatment can also aggravate the symptoms like pelvic
pain rather than offering relief. Hence, people smarting
under such an ineffective form of treatment hasten their
steps towards safe and natural holistic
approach.
A
Holistic approach attacks the root cause of the
condition and ensures a complete recovery. This approach
can also help you manage pelvic pain with yeast
infection in a better way. Being
comprehensive and multidimensional, holistic approaches
make use of natural cures, lifestyle and diet
modification techniques, physical exercises to
counteract pelvic pain and even mental strengthening
exercises to eradicate all infections and produce a
picture of health in the bargain. Hence, when it comes
to dealing with pelvic pain and yeast infection, try the
holistic approach.
