Systemic Candidiasis is an infection caused by a surplus of a natural yeast called Candida albicans.  Normally held in check by the good bacteria in our bodies, under certain conditions the Candid albicans ‘overgrows’ into a fungal state which causes the Candidiasis infection.  Systemic Candidiasis customarily starts in the abdominal tract and then spreads to other organs via the blood. 

‘Systemic’ means “…affecting the whole body, or, an entire organism.” So widespread Candidiasis can describe a deep rooted infection in the intestinal tract, bloodstream, kidneys, liver, heart, esophagus, vagina, penis, mouth, eyes, or skin. 

What Causes Candida Albicans to Overgrow? 

There are many reasons why the bodies beneficial bacteria may not be able to control the Candida albicans, but one crucial one is the increasing use of antibiotics.  Other triggers are things like lowered immunological system, steroid overuse, underlying medical problems, recreational drugs, diabetes, hormonal contraceptives and stress. 

Symptoms of system-wide Candidiasis

Vagina : Rosiness and redness, serious itching, bizarre white ( thick ) discharge, painful pissing, distressing or not possible sex. 

Mouth : Raised whitish spots on tongue and mucous surfaces, thick white coating on tongue, crack / fissures in tongue, bad breath, difficulty swallowing. 

Skin : Incisions, acne, rashes. 

Main line Treatment for systemic Candidiasis

Depending on the placement of the infection, prescribed and over-the-counter medication is mostly in the shape of topical creams, pessaries, liquid formulations and pills.  Occasionally injections are needed for particularly deep rooted Candidiasis, e.g.  Systemic inner organ infections. 

These antifungal medications are drug based.  Some which need to be taken internally or intravenously have some negative side effects.  The topical ones should not be a difficulty unless you are allergic to the drug itself. 

Sadly, many women ( especially ) will have repeated attacks.  Two the things this has been put down to are ( one ) the handling of the symptoms instead of the underlying cause ( s ), and, ( two ) the ability of the Candida allbicans to build a resistance to the drugs.  And these pharmaceutical based medications can be quite pricey.  So may folks are now looking to alternative drugs.
