Many people suffer from yeast infections, both men and women.
The discomfort and pain associated with yeast infections is often very hard to cope with. There is an embarrassing element to the infection and some people do not feel comfortable discussing this even with a doctor.

Yeast is a type of fungus that is found naturally within the human body
. It is present on the skin, in the gut, and in the vagina. Although this doesn’t sound very pleasant it is a natural aspect of how the body works. Just like we have bacteria in the gut that helps us digest food, fungus is present to help with the natural balance of things. Unfortunately, if the yeast becomes more dominant in the body it can start to cause discomfort.

Vaginal Yeast Infection

This is the most common form of yeast infection in women, it is often described as ‘Thrush’. Up to 75% of women will have a case of vaginal yeast infection during their life.

Male Yeast Infection / Male Thrush
Men suffer from yeast infections too and it can often be even more embarrassing for them because it is often considered a female problem. Thrush is not considered to be a sexually transmitted disease but it is possible to pass it on between partners. However it can develop in men who have not had sexual intercourse.

Oral Yeast Infection / Oral Thrush
Anybody can suffer from a yeast infection in the mouth and it can cause a lot of pain and discomfort. It is thought that 50% of the population have candida (the yeast causing thrush) present in the mouths. It is only if this gets out of control that a problem occurs. Oral Thrush tends to be quite uncommon.
