I am 23 and was diagnosed with candida few days ago. I would appreciate some information about my condition. How dangerous is it? I have to be honest and say that I don’t know much about it. Please help.

It is normal that you are not familiar with some things regarding medicine, and it is good that you are interested. Candida is a symbiotic yeast, which lives in us and on us, but it can become proliferous, causing a number of symptoms. Candida Albicans is a destructive yeast infection that begins in the digestive system. Little by little, it spreads to other parts of the body. In some conditions, like excessive stress, lowered immunity or the long-term use of steroids, the candida yeast can multiply. Candida overgrowth may also be a consequence of antibiotic treatment. This happens due to a fact that antibiotics not only kill pathogens but also a large number of those bacteria that are part of a healthy gastrointestinal flora. Some symptoms of Candida are fatigue, problems with concentration and short-term memory, flu-like symptoms such as pain in the joints and muscle, problem with acid reflux.
