Internal Or Systemic Yeast Infection
Systemic Yeast Infection
As well as being present on the skin, yeasts are present in the human gut where they are generally kept in check by healthy bacteria.
There may be times when the balance between bacteria and yeast within your body becomes skewed in favor of the yeast, in which case you can suffer from an internal yeast infection, known as systemic yeast infection.
If an infection gets into your bloodstream, which is almost inevitable, it can spread throughout your body, leading to an intestinal yeast infection, in which case you have a very serious medical emergency on your hands. In fact, it is possible that as many as three in every four people who suffer a systemic (i.e. a full body) yeast infection will die.
Stop a yeast infection in its tracks
The problem with such an infection is that there is no single symptom that clearly indicates that an individual is suffering from an internal or systemic yeast infection.
Any symptoms that are seen to be present can be erratic and unpredictable as well, making it even harder to pin down the exact cause of the problem. You might have a blinding headache today and no headache at all tomorrow, and stomach ache the day after but not the day after that.
The only way that an intestinal yeast infection can be diagnosed is by a biopsy performed by a qualified medical professional.
Candida albicans infections are thought to account for up to 80% of all systemic infections, and because of the extremely high mortality rate, if you have any reason whatsoever to suspect that you might have some kind of non-specific infection, you should seek urgent medical attention immediately.
Internal yeast infections are extremely common in hospitalized patients, with the rate of infection happening in hospital nowadays being some 450% higher than it was in the early 1980s! This figure does not include MRSA and other hospital infections.
Causes and solutions
It is clear that an internal yeast infection is a very serious condition indeed.
However, if you are a fit, healthy individual with a normal immune system, an internal yeast infection is unlikely to cause you any harm at all. Indeed, you may not even be aware that you have such an infection, and it will go away entirely of its own accord.
If on the other hand your immune system has been compromised by some previous medical condition or the treatment for such a condition, that represents a situation in which an internal yeast infection can be life-threatening.
For example, suffering from HIV, leukemia or cancer would make you far more susceptible to such an infection, as would the damage that will be done to your immune system by treatments such as chemotherapy, or a surgical operation like an organ transplant.
Make sure you seek urgent medical advice if you think you fall into a susceptible group and you are feeling like you have a non-specific infection affecting the whole body and not just one part, generating symptoms such as fatigue, lethargy, debilitation, dizziness, sensory disorders, gastrointestinal problems like oral Thrush, headaches from migraine, muscular pain, breathing disorders, diarrhea, constipation and rectal itching.
But don’t allow a simple candida albicans infection, to overgrow and enter your blood stream to migrate throughout your body, which could then lead to a systematic yeast infection.
