You cannot get rid of all of your yeast. You must find an ecological balance, with yeast growing at a controlled rate, below the symptom-producing level. In women, candida overgrowth is commonly associated with vaginitis. Men may be troubled by yeast overgrowth on their penis or on the skin around the anus and groin. Vaginitis is often provoked or aggravated by sexual intercourse.
Many woman suffer prolonged and mysterious vaginal irritation and pelvic pain.
Infection is always assumed, and repeated treatment for candida and other organisms often fails. Seldom is the diagnosis of vaginal allergy considered. The vagina often reacts to circulating food allergens with increased mucus production and secondary candida overgrowth. Milk allergy, for example, commonly triggers vaginitis in both children and adults. High fruit intake is often associated with vaginitis and systemic allergy.
