Can anxiety causes candida???
Posted , 2 users are following.
Hello girls. I need your advice. I don't know whether all of you have read my previous posts. I will make it short. I have been suffering from anxiety for years now and i can not face it not cure it. It is getting even worse. The symptoms are getting worse and worse. I think that i have candida. I haven't been to the doctor yet because i am afraid and ashamed. Has anyone else suffered the same symptoms? I really need to share experience

Chico is right about the stress thing. Long term stress can lower your immunity to infections. Are you in the UK? Because you can buy over the counter treatments. You need to be sure it's candida though (usually a white sort of 'gunk' and itchy and burns to pee).
Also, if you have been on antibiotics recently this can make candida infections flare up as they kill off all the good bacteria that usually keep yeast/fungus at bay.
If you DO get the 'medical' treatments and they don't work (sometimes it can keep coming back) I would suggest coconut oil. It's messy but it might work!! I was constantly getting a bacterial infection down there (to do with monthly hormonal changes apparantly). The constant antibiotics only ever cleared it for a short time. I then read about the many uses of coconut oil. So I started smearing it on every night for a week or two. Not only did it clear up the infection, but I haven't had it again for months!! The oil apparantly works as it not only helps to kill the infection but it also rebalances the skins PH levels, so the good bacteria can thrive. It has to be the pure stuff though, which is a little expensive, but a big jar that will last a long time costs about the same as a one off 'drug' remedy anyway.
Hope that helps a bit.

If you go for the 'natural' option, i.e. the coconut oil, then you would probably just have to persevere for however long it takes to clear (plus maybe a week extra to be sure).
Hope you get it sorted. xx
