Candida infections have signs and symptoms that vary depending
on the location of the infection. This infection is very common
to women. Its signs and symptoms consist of a white discharge
that is itchy and irritating to the vagina. It can affect the
surrounding outer tissues of the anus where a moist patch
appears on the contiguous skin of the anus. Candida yeast
infections also cause pain during sexual intercourse and a
burning sensation during urination.
Candida infections in infants and adults may become visible in
different ways; oral Candidiasis (or thrush) is exhibited by
thick, white patches on top of a red base and may appear on any
area inside the mouth. Bleeding on the underlying tissue occurs
if these white patches are wiped away. Without the white
coating this infection makes the tongue appear to be red in
color. Oral thrush is painful and can contribute to eating
disorders.
Prevention of dehydration is a must for anyone who has oral
thrush. This infection frequently causes elderly people to have
sores and cracks at the sides of their mouth.
Candidiasis can also develop within hours of birth on the palms
of a newborn baby. Candida organisms live on the skin and yeast
overgrowth occurs if there is a breakdown of the skins outer
layer. It is visible on the warm parts of the body such as
diaper areas and skin folds. Superficial Candida skin infection
may look like a red flat rash that has sharp scalloped edges.
Satellite lesions are smaller patches that look the same and
may cause itching or pain. This kind of infection causes
redness, swelling and softness of the fingernail. In male
genitalia, Candida infection usually presents with dry, red
scaly patches on the tip or head of the penis.
Candida infections can have an effect on various internal
organs and cause pain or dysfunction to a person, especially if
they have a destabilized immune system. Likewise, individuals
with Candida infection may develop sensitivity to some foods.
Other times there is food intolerance for dairy products and
glutens. Food intolerance can be positively identified through
The Detection Diet.
A person with AIDS typically contracts the yeast infection
known as esophagitis in the upper gastrointestinal system. This
condition may seem like oral thrush, but this type of infection
extends down from the mouth, into the esophagus until it
reaches the stomach, it causes painful ulcers around the
gastrointestinal system, so that even swallowing liquid is
difficult. Food is not fully absorbed when the infection
spreads out into the intestines, and the danger of dehydration
is present to people with such condition. If Candida yeast
infections reach the bloodstream, people gets sick with or
without fever. And the spreading of this infection throughout
the brain causes acute changes in behavior or mental function.
If you suspect you are suffering with Candida, you should first
consult your primary care physician before taking other steps.
