Guest guest Posted September 4, 2006 Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 As long as I've been convinced I have candida, I have never really thought I had a vaginal yeast problem. But if you have candida is it probably likely that you have a problem with it vaginally as well? I don't have any of the symptoms I've read about like the itching. But I do have painful intercourse. I just figured my painful intercourse was a result of the lack of lubrication and lack of desire due to hormone problems because of the candida. Should I be doing some yogurt douches? Is it okay to just insert acidophilus caps? Thank you! ita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it is also caused by a lack of good saturated fats and oils in the diet. Cell membranes should be constructed of 50% saturated fats but if they are lacking in the diet the body will use man-made fats and oils instead. This makes the cells weak and flabby which affects all areas of the body. It takes a long time for the body to re-build cells, but it is well worth it. Stronger cells also keeps toxins out and are able to transport nutrients, water, etc. much more effectively. In fact dry skin and lack of lubricants in joints, and also in the vaginal area, is not due to a lack of water, but to a lack of good fats which helps the body's cells utilize water. ==>See the Women's Health Issues Folder for Vaginal Yeast Treatments, which includes alternating douches with antifungals and probiotics, etc. Bee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
