Sandra's Story: The Frustrating Cycle of UTI's, Yeast Infections and Antibiotics

Sandra* was plagued by urinary tract infections (UTI’s) for years. Her primary care physician and gynecologist both attributed this to a very active sex life with her husband. It’s a common reason for UTI’s; during intercourse the male organ rubs substantially against the bladder walls and can cause bacteria-inviting irritation in women.

She would take antibiotics for the urinary tract infections, after which she would inevitably need a prescription to get rid of itchy, irritating vaginal yeast infections. In fact, vaginal yeast infections after antibiotics have grown so common in women that many doctors give both prescriptions at the same time.

Sandra’s urinary tract infections would go away after the antibiotics for about a month, and then they would painfully return. She would go back for more antibiotics, and afterward treat the yeast.

One day, Sandra and her husband decided it was time to stop using birth control. The urinary tract infections ceased immediately. About a year later, she read in a magazine that the “non-oxynol 9” in spermicidal gel, which women use in diaphragms, was notorious for causing UTI’s. The article also suggested ways to resolve non-kidney related UTI’s without antibiotics.

Sandra was furious. Both her doctors knew she used a diaphragm with this spermicide. But neither had ever given her this information. Maybe they didn’t know. She sent copies to them, hoping to help other women.

But Sandra wasn’t feeling well in other ways, frequently getting flu-like symptoms, fingernail and sinus infections, toenail fungus and bowel disturbances. She went for a barrage of tests but they all came back “normal”. She was given antibiotics for the infections, medication for acid reflux and ointments for the toe fungus.

Finally, a friend sent her to a “complementary medicine” doctor who blended homeopathy and natural remedies with conventional treatment.

This doctor tested Sandra’s fecal matter and found she had a vast overgrowth of candida yeast fungus which had taken over her intestines and was eating all the nutrients she couldn’t digest, causing many imbalances.

The overgrowth of candida came from Sandra’s long term use of antibiotics and anti-inflammatories, especially during the years of UTI’s. This had killed off all her good stomach bacteria, thus lowering her immune system and allowing more ailments.

The alternative physician started her on the way to healing through herbals, probiotics (good bacteria replacements), natural yeast cleansers, and advice for lifestyle and diet changes.

Today, Sandra is free of UTI’s and yeast, armed with good information, and still helping other women.

Växa’s helpful products:
Kidney Formula cleanses bladder and urinary system, Buffer-pH+ restores proper pH balance which can help prevent UTI’s, Re-Flora+ to replace stomach flora and Candid-Free to stop candida overgrowth. For more info on these and other natural, homeopathic ways to stop UTI’s and yeast suffering, see the article “Women’s Urinary Tract Infections: Stop the Suffering!

Closing note: Over-the-counter fungicides for vaginal yeast are now available to women. But if yeast is suspected in the intestines, an internal anti-fungal prescription is needed.
