Section One – The Truth About Yeast Infection
What Is Yeast Infection?
Yeast infection is only one type of infection that manifests
itself in the vagina and in the area around the opening of
the vagina, called the vulva, among women and in the area
around the penis among men.
Common names for yeast infection are: Candida, Monilia,
and thrush.
There are actually three types of vaginal infections or Vaginitis in their general
medical term:
1) Trichomoniasis: vaginal infection condition triggered by parasitic
protozoa
2) Bacterial vaginosis: vaginal infection condition, which, in most
cases, is sexually transmitted and is caused by bacteria
3) Yeast
infection:
vaginal
infection
caused
by
yeast-like
microorganisms called Candida albicans. The medical term for
yeast infection is Candidiasis.
Candida albicans, a yeasty fungus, and other strains of Candida normally
inhabit our digestive tract, intestines, mouth, throat and genitourinary tract.
Candida albicans, an integral part of the bowel flora, has many positive
functions such as defending our digestive tract from harmful bacteria. Candida
has the ability to recognize and kill harmful bacteria and other pathogen
organisms inside the digestive tract.
In a healthy balanced state, a person can actually have millions of Candida
microorganisms that only benefit our inner terrain.
