Yeast Infection A Sign Of Pregnancy?

Is a yeast infection a sign of pregnancy? It is not uncommon for pregnant women to get a yeast infection, but it is in no way an indication that you are carrying a child. There's a higher percentage of women that aren't pregnant that suffer from vaginal Candida. A yeast infection is a sign that your body's natural defenses have weakened, and now the yeast that lives in it all the time has been allowed to mutate into a fungus. This fungus is now causing your symptoms.

Your intestinal flora

Your body is naturally protected from yeast infections by a colony of friendly bacteria that live primarily in your intestines. These friendly bacteria also live in your vagina and on your skin. When these bacteria become low in numbers the yeast can mutate into an aggressive fungus. Yeast lives in you all the time, you can't get rid of it, you can only strengthen your natural defenses so the yeast can no longer mutate.

See your doctor

The s=best thing for you to do is see your doctor if you're ever unsure of anything. You cannot diagnose anything about your body by reading information on the internet as there is a lot of misinformation out there. Your doctor can test you properly so you'll knew whether you're pregnant or not, and test you to see if your vaginal infection is a yeast infection.
