Untreated yeast infections are not something you should be thinking about because of what the fungus can do to your body. Not only will your symptoms get worse but the fungus will infect other parts of your body, and that will begin to have an effect on your good health.
The mutated Candida yeast will slowly destroy your health from the inside if it is left untreated as your vagina is not the only place that it can infect you.
The itching that you're experiencing at the moment is caused by the fungus feeding in the skin cells on the walls of your vagina. If the fungus is left to feed it will get deeper into your skin while it goes in search of fresh skin cells to eat. As it gets deeper it also gets more difficult to treat with conventional anti fungal drugs.
The Candida yeast is an organism that lives naturally in all of us. The reason why you're suffering from a fungal infection is because your body has allowed the yeast to mutate. It does this when your body's natural defences have been compromised, and then it grows in numbers and mutates.
The mutating yeast doesn't only live in your vagina, it will be inside your intestines as well. This is where the real cause of your infection is, and because this goes unnoticed in a lot of women 5% of them suffer from chronic yeast infections because they are not curing their infection from the real cause.
When you have the fungus breeding in your intestines because your infection has been left untreated it will feed on the walls of your intestines. After a while the fungus will perforate your intestines, and then the toxins from the mutated yeast will begin to enter your bloodstream.
This is when a yeast infection becomes systemic, and you will start suffering from symptoms that even your doctor won't diagnose as anything to do with fungal overgrowth in your body.
Early signs of intestinal fungus are bloating that you don't normally suffer from. This is because fungus is a gas forming organism, and it also impairs your digestion to the point where the food that you eat becomes fermented in your intestines.
All of the above is the reason why an untreated yeast infection will destroy your health. Some women do leave their infection untreated but soon start treating them as the itching becomes unbearable.
Don't leave the fungus breeding in your body any longer and start eliminating it from today. Once you get your intestinal flora back into balance your digestion will improve, and your energy levels will rise. Your infection will also disappear.
