Hi Lori,
I used to have chronic yeast infections my whole life so embarassing! -
almost every month and nothing over the counter would work. When I was
finally diagnosed with a severe hormone imbalance at 32, my doctor told
me that being deficient in progesterone causes yeast infections! Ever
since I have been on the bio-identical progesterone and brought it up to
a normal level, I rarely get yeast infections, maybe one a year now. I
do not know much though about candida in general, but I just know it can
cause many problems! I've been wanting to read more about it...
Thanks, Lori!
