Candida Albicans symptoms — otherwise known as yeast infection or Candida / Candidiasis symptoms — have some basic typical characteristics and some others that might surprise you. Here, you’ll discover what these signs of a yeast infection are and a totally natural way to eradicate them for good.

• Candida Albicans

First, let’s look at just what Candida Albicans is. Candida Albicans is a naturally occurring fungi found in the human body. It particularly enjoys the warm, moist areas to set up house. It normally doesn’t do you any harm at all because your body’s good bacteria controls its numbers and keeps it in check.

But, there are circumstances when the fungus can overcome your good bacteria. When this happens it can overgrow and spread throughout the body, but particularly in those warm, moist areas I talked about above. This then gives rise to the symptoms of yeast infection. And I suppose you could call these Candida Albicans symptoms.

• Candida Albicans Symptoms in Women

Okay, so let’s now go over the symptoms to look for in women. The typical women’s symptoms are things like; chronic itching, inflammation of the vulva/vagina, white cottage-cheese-like discharge, burning sensation when urinating, painful or impossible sex, menstrual pain, and so on.

Most Candida symptoms appear in the genitalia, but a yeast infection can occur almost anywhere in the body. Another place where it occurs a lot is in the mouth. Oral Candida symptoms are; whitish raised spots over the tongue and soft tissue, could have a thick whitish coating all over the tongue, bad breath, difficulty swallowing, pain in throat, sometimes red spots on the lips.

Now these are the typical Candida Albicans symptoms in women to look out for. But, there are other Candida symptoms that you wouldn’t associate with yeast infection. Typical of these are; memory loss, depression, fatigue, irritability, sore / stiff joints, stress, headaches, and tons more. You may also get skin rashes, lesions and even acne.

Most women usually use over-the-counter or prescription creams, pessaries, lotions, sprays, oral suspensions, etc., to try to eradicate their Candida Albicans symptoms. And these can work over time. But, they are drug-based and do have some nasty side effects for many women. And, they tend just to attack the local symptoms, not the root cause.

Some of the things that are at the root of a Candida infection are issues such as a lowered immune system, too many antibiotics, hormonal imbalance, some drug therapy, too high blood sugar levels. So these need to be properly addressed in order to totally eradicate your yeast infection. This is why more and more women are turning to natural remedies to get rid of their yeast infections.
