Fungi-related infections and diseases have been a growing problem all over the world due to their high treatment cost, and more often than not, it is underdiagnosed. One of the most common infections especially in women is what we call Candidiasis or Yeast Infection. It is so prevalent that the total cost of hospitalization for it in the United States reached an estimated $1.4 billion in 2017.

That whopping number was taken only in the United States, but it is a global problem that is affecting about 138 million women all over the world, 9 million of whom are women from the US. These numbers back up past research that 75% of the female population suffer from this condition and about 6% of them deal with recurrence.

Everyone has certain amounts of fungi within their bodies and, normally, it does not cause harm. However, due to various factors, the balance may be tipped and those changes will bring about conditions such as yeast infection. It is commonly a health problem for females, but males can also acquire it.

Some medications are effective in treating yeast infections. Some of them are available and sold as over-the-counter medicines in pharmacies, but a lifestyle change will also help tremendously in managing this condition.

As an example, our diet can affect our susceptibility to these fungal infections, and so our chances of acquiring such conditions can be minimized just by planning our meals carefully.

We need to keep in mind that fungi can survive even in difficult environments, and more often than not, they are just waiting for the opportunity to grow in numbers and start causing problems. Having said that, knowing that these microorganisms are within our bodies, we have the responsibility to at least try to protect ourselves. This we can do with the help of a well-curated diet plan.
