Yeast Infection Symptoms:
Why Initial Diagnosis is 
Crucial to Your Health

It is widely agreed among physicians and medical paraprofessionals, that initial diagnosis of the type, severity of yeast infection (candidiasis) mostly by using a yeast infection symptoms questionnaire is necessary to ensure the most effective and quick treatment for yeast infection. While most symptoms won't lead to severe health impairments, it is highly important to quickly diagnose and treat candidiasis.

Initial Diagnosis Crucial. Here's why: 

1. Neglected Candida infection can lead to significant physical discomfort and sometimes can results in chronic and even dangerous health conditions.

2. Recurrent yeast infection symptoms in most cases serve as evidence to severe overall internal imbalance or autoimmune diseases . 

Fortunately, in most cases individuals can make an initial diagnosis by their own, prior to seeing the family doctors. However, basic knowledge concerning yeast infection symptoms is necessary to making a reliable initial diagnosis. For instance, one should know that candidiasis can manifest in different body areas, and identification of its symptoms demands a special knowledge about its subtype.

1. Vaginal candidiasis : white, thick, "cottage cheesy" vaginal discharge; burning and itching in the vagina area and the surrounding outer tissues; pain during sexual intercourse; burning with urination.

2. Oral thrush: white, or yellow spots on a red base can appear in the inner surface of the mouth; wiping them away forcefully can cause bleeding. Redness in the tongue with no bright spots is possible albeit less common. An uncomfortable burning sensation in the mouth can manifest among adults.

3. Diaper rash: rashes in the diaper area. 

4. Male candidiasis: occasionally penile discharge; stinging or tingling in the penis; swollenness, redness and extreme sensitivity in the penis; blotchy skin rash.

5. Nail bed infections (paronychia ): white or yellow nails that separates from the nail bed; pain in the infected area; swelling and pus.

Alongside with localized symptoms, yeast infection can have other more generic manifestations, such as:

1. Chronic fatigue, sleepiness and lack of energy.

2. Strong and permanent lust for sugar or white flour products, such as white bread, cakes and bakery.

3. Muscles ache.

4. Food sensitivities and/or allergies.

5. Gas or bloating.

Note that, inexperienced individuals can easily misdiagnose themselves as having candidiasis, whereas they actually suffer from a completely different medical condition. Some extremely severe medical diseases and conditions, such as herpes and HIV, can manifest in a variety of ways that are very similar to yeast infection symptoms. Therefore, once an initial yeast infection diagnosis was independently made, visiting a physician is necessary for making final comprehensive diagnosis. 

In the case of recurrent candidiasis, and especially if the symptoms manifest generically, you should seriously consider the alternative to the conventional medicinal treatment. Holistic treatments, which are based on a set of homeopathic remedies, herbal remedies, special supplements, dietary protocols, detoxification and lifestyle changes, have been proven to fix the internal cause of yeast infection rather than addressing its symptoms. Following the holistic approach, you can cure and prevent any type of yeast infection naturally, safely and effectively.
