Candida infections (candidiasis) can have three different presentations.

+ Oropharyngeal candidiasis: Oral yeast infection, or “thrush”
+ Vaginal candidiasis: A vaginal yeast infection
+ Invasive candidiasis: A systemic infection where Candida species enter the bloodstream

It’s important to keep in mind that not all women present candida overgrowth in the same way. Women typically don’t go to their doctor unless they get a vaginal yeast infection, which puts them at risk of developing a systemic problem. If you suffer from a combination of the symptoms below, you may have a candida infection:

+ Brain fog
+ Chronic fatigue
+ Foul body odor
+ Insomnia
+ Low libido
+ Sugar cravings
+ Seasonal allergies
