Thrush Mouth, Oral Yeast Infection and Oral Candida

If your mucous membranes in your mouth are infected, you probably have thrush mouth, oral thrush, oral yeast infection or oral candida. These are all the different names for the same medical condition. This condition is a fungal infection where the candida albicans are growing out of control.


Everyone has the yeast organisms in their body but this isn't usually a problem. Yeast infections are unable to form in the body until the natural balance is disturbed.


The most common risk factors for this type of infection are: diabetics and others with metabolic disturbances, people with AIDS/HIV, newborns, people that are mal-nourished, people that have had oral sex with a partner suffering from thrush, women whose hormones are disturbed because of pregnancy or birth control pills, women undergoing fertility treatments, asthma and COPD sufferers that use inhalers with steroids, people that consume large quantities of milk and children that fit any of the above criteria.


Diabetics, mal-nourished people, women on birth control pills, women that are pregnant, women undergoing fertility treatments and people with AIDS/HIV all have either an immune system problem or a hormonal imbalance that can increase their risk factors to thrush mouth.


Newborns are constantly going through hormonal and physiological changes so they are at risk for thrush mouth and just about everything else you can think of.


If you suffer from asthma or COPD you can reduce the risk of getting thrush mouth by rinsing your mouth out with water after taking your medication.


Everyone can reduce the risk we face of getting thrush by reducing the amount of sugar and yeast we have in our diets. Altering your diet, eating yogurt and taking oral medications are other treatment options.


Drinking large quantities of milk can mess up you body's natural flora balance and that can increase your risk for getting thrush.
