Her estrogen and progesterone dominance causes chronic yeast infection.
Case #: 35553
Concern：
I am estrogen-dominant with a chronic yeast problem. Luckily, I am able to manage it through diet and supplements. I noticed that my yeast infection worsen when I used progesterone cream.
Discussion：
First, you must stop using any estrogen or progesterone products. These products are contributing to a hormonal imbalance, which is at the root of your yeast problems. Vaginal yeast infection occurs when your vaginal immunity is suppressed by the hormone prostaglandin E2 (PEG-2). Your vagina, cervix and uterus release PEG-2 to help you build a good environment for sperms to survive, to fertilize an egg and to help implant the fertilized egg, while semen contains a lot of prostaglandin E2 to help sperms survive to survive and to swim into the uterus from the vagina. But, unfortunately, prostaglandin E2 is an inflammatory hormone and immune suppressor too.
Thus, your yeast infection is a result of overproduction of PEG-2. Excessive sex or tissue abrasion can induce excessive PEG-2 release. This can also happen in the urethra and bladder when the G-spot is over-stimulated. As a result, you may experience urinary tract infection (UTI) or bladder infection too. Other causes of excessive PEG-2 include birth control, androgen hormone deficiency, street drugs, alcohol, medications, or excessive work stress.
To avoid vaginal yeast infection due to excessive prostaglandin E2, vaginal immunity has to be maintained by counterbalancing PEG-2 with prostaglandin E1, an anti-inflammatory hormone which helps vaginal and urethral erection. Try Vaginal Relief & Detoxification Formula to boost liver function for detoxification of the uterus, cervix and vagina and boost neuro-immunity to prevent yeast outbreak. Yeastaway Vaginal Suppositories contains Calendula, Borax, Hydrastis and other homeopathic ingredients to combat infection.
