Yeast infections (candidiasis) affect 75% of women at least once—but for many, they become a frustrating, recurring cycle. At Patients Medical in NYC, we don’t just prescribe antifungals. Our integrative approach uncovers why candida overgrowth happens, combining functional medicine, gut healing, and lifestyle strategies to prevent recurrence.
We treat the imbalance—not just the infection.
Yeast infections occur when Candida albicans (a naturally occurring fungus) overgrows, disrupting the body’s delicate microbiome. Common types include:
Recurring infections? This signals deeper imbalances (gut, immune, or hormonal).
Functional medicine digs deeper than “just yeast.” Contributing factors include:
We use cutting-edge labs to identify triggers:
Sarah, 34, had 6 yeast infections in a year despite antifungals. Testing revealed:
Our 4-month plan included:
Yes. High blood sugar levels can create an ideal environment for Candida overgrowth, leading to recurrent yeast infections—especially in the mouth, genital area, and skin folds.
Excess sugar in urine and mucous membranes provides food for yeast to grow. Additionally, diabetes can weaken the immune system and disrupt the balance of gut and vaginal flora.
An imbalanced gut microbiome (dysbiosis) and leaky gut can lead to systemic Candida overgrowth, especially in individuals with insulin resistance or prediabetes.
Rather than just prescribing antifungal creams or pills, we identify and treat the root causes—blood sugar imbalance, gut issues, hormone imbalances, or immune dysfunction—using a personalized, integrative approach.
Yes. Recurrent or stubborn yeast infections may be an early warning sign of elevated glucose or insulin levels, even before full diabetes develops.
Not usually. Once we rebalance the gut, support the immune system, and optimize blood sugar control, most patients no longer experience recurring infections or require ongoing medication.
Patients Medical specializes in gently helping the patient identify the root cause of their medical issues and then assist them to recover from their problems to help them move forward to good health.
