Tongue Thrush

Can an untreated yeast infection cause havoc on other systems in the body, such as sinus and respiratory?

If you leave a yeast infection untreated, is it possible for it to cause sickness for other systems in your body, such as sinus problems? I don't see how the two are related, but is it possible for something like that to happen?

1. EYUP!!! Yeast likes to take over the mucous systems with-in the body. Infecting those membranes causes a lot of problems such as sinusitis, pneumonia etc., etc, Nothing that is foreign should ever stay or live in the body (that is if you want a happy healthy long life). Also, you can infect others including family members, friends, co-workings, fello students, children etc., etc. eeh, get it treated and be a happy camper... Hope this helps...
2. Yes, there are many hidden symptoms of Candida overgrowth which is what causes a yeast infection. Here's a short list of some of the other symptoms: migraines, back problems, respiratory infections, rash, heartburn and low energy. I wouldn't leave yeast infection untreated - because Candida will simply keep growing and your infection will take longer to hear. And there are so many treatments you can choose from. I personally favour natural treatments: dietary changes and natural remedies (garlic, tea tree oil, vinegar) to treat the symptoms. Read the article below to help you learn more.
