Yeast Infections
Yeast spores are very common both in the environment and in our body. So, just having yeast does not mean you have a yeast infection!
An infection occurs when the body defenses fail to stop the yeast growing and allow it to spread. The fights back and inflammation and irritation are the result.
Symptoms include - itching, redness and a discharge.
It is also true that these symptoms can come from other problems, so if unsure get checked out by your family medical professional

Causes and Remedies
The fact is that Yeast infections can affect a woman at any time in her life but are more common in pregnancy. Doctors say that this is due to hormonal changes that are expected during pregnancy.
One of the risk factors for yeast in pregnancy is diabetes and the blood sugar changes in pregnancy too and this is a factor that you can exert some control over.
How? Through your diet..
Your diet is a major contributor to how much your blood sugar changes or how stable it is whether you are pregnant or not and whether you are diabetic or not.
Eating sugar or drinking sugary drinks makes the blood sugar rise very quickly and then fall very quickly and it is the rapid rise and fall that seems to cause most problems for people who suffer from diabetes and hypoglycaemia.
A diet that takes account of the effect on blood sugar can make an important contribution to how quickly you recover from a Yeast infection although other natural non drug remedies may be needed as well.
Making simple and sensible changes to your diet is best done with a knowledgeable health professional trained in Nutritional Medicine but you can get some ideas from health books too.
Using natural remedies to help to clear up yeast symptoms safely and quickly at no risk to your or your baby makes a lot of sense.
