UTIs (Urinary Tract Infections), Bladder Infections, Yeast Infections, and Bacterial Vaginosis (BV)
Condition- One or more strains from the over 50 groups of Streptococcus bacteria either causing an acute infection for the first time or hiding inside the liver long term, creating one or more of these problems chronically. Strep often causes symptoms near menstruation, as your overall immune system lowers by roughly 80 percent—because that 80 percent goes toward protecting your uterus and ovaries. This is a natural, built-in phenomenon to ensure life here on earth continues safely. Often when the uterus sheds its lining, it's trying to eliminate pathogens and other toxins that your immune system needs to be present for to help protect you. And at ovulation, your reproductive immune system strengthens to protect your ovaries, which means that your overall immune system lowers by about 40 percent, leaving the rest of your body more vulnerable to conditions and infections. So near menstruation and ovulation, when your body's overall immune system is lower, strep tends to reveal itself as a bladder infection or other UTI. While yeast may be present in yeast infections, the discomfort is caused by strep bacteria, and this is most often missed at the doctor's office. Hormones are not the cause of acne near menstruation. Instead, it's this lowering of the overall immune system that allows the strep bacteria that cause acne to take advantage. Try to avoid troublemaker foods such as eggs. Also be aware that a high-fat/high-protein diet can worsen any of these conditions.
