Candida and hormonal issues

Starting from the most recent events: today I visited my gynecologist with my hormone test results. I have very low level of female hormones. He ordered the tests becouse I do kont have my period for 14 months now. I lost it when my real problems with health have started.
I suspect candida overgrowth for months and it might have started years ago - as I child I took one Antibiotic after another. I had also numerous parastitic infections.
Here where I live dotors don't belive in candida. Even though I have recccurent vaginal candidiasis, fungal anginas and candida in my sinuses. As the stool smear was clear, my doctor diagnosed me with IBS and prescribed nothing.
So, as most of you, I am my own doctor now. I am during my second parasite cleans. I use aloe, enzymes (biofilm protocol), ACV, oregano oil, GSE, supplements and tons of probiotics. I feel much better now, after 9-month treatment and diet.
And now the hormon thing came up. The gynecologist says it is a case of pituitary gland. He wants me to go to hospital. I am sure they would try to put me on hormones, which I quit (the pills) because of what I suspect is candida.
My question is - could the hormonal imbalance be caused by candida? Is the lack of period for such a long time possible to be caused by fungus? Or maybe the low level of hormones is the cause of other issues? What should I do knowing that none of the doctors would ever belive I could be suffering from parasites or fungus? Should I start hormones? Here we have a fameous naturopath, who is claiming that when the overgrowth is under control, hormones will stabilise. And that nothing should be done about the imbalance, as "nature should not be corrected". Is this the right approach?

It’s true that the hormones will eventually stabilize and become normal once the infestation is completely under control and all symptoms have vanished. But the key is getting rid of the infestation-size of the Candida population first, because if this does not happen, then the hormones will remain in a state of imbalance.
So the question is, are you on the correct type of diet and are you doing everything you should to increase the population of the beneficial flora in the intestines? Because the beneficial flora is the key to riding your body of the infestation.
One mistake I see is the GSE. Grapefruit seed extract contains anti-bacterial properties and will therefroe destroy the beneficial bacteria along with the fungus.

This is a reply to # 2,112,472When i was ill I lost my libido, i couldn t have sex drive and was terrible, when i started my fight against candida i remain the same way, actually worst, but after a time off the fight i got back my sex drive and my testoterone is fine again, as well my other healthy issues and well being. So, what i am trying to say is that definitly candida can cause this. My theory is that the inflammation causes by candida and the toxins dont let your hormones get ok. Here where i live people dont believe in candida as well. You are not alone! Best wishes!

This is a reply to # 2,112,472Thank you very much for your responses!
I am aware that candida can cause the imbalance. However, I am doing the treatment for 9 months now. The period is gone for 14 months. It is a lot of time, and I am not sure for how long should I wait for it to come. My gynecologist says that every month makes being infertile more probable...
Are you sure that the problem with pituitary gland can not be the cause (not the result) with candida issues? Are there any reliable studies on the subject?
About Grapefruit-Seed-Extract - would it be a good idea to change it to coconut oil?- Re: Candida and hormonal issues jacgues

This is a reply to # 2,112,625Hi there
My theory is that candida stresses your body as I had adrenal fatigue along with candida when it was at its worst. When you body is stressed, it draws nutrients and energy from other hormone centres to focus on those that need the help, i.e. the adrenals rather than the pituitary. Also, bear in mind, taking all these meds, they could be competing with each other. Also, are you making sure you are not also nutrient deficient either from a strict diet to limit the candida or just general weakened immunity and also malabsorption which will also be going on if you have a candida overgrowth centralised in your gut. The gynaecological system is notoriously sensitive, air travel, stress, emotional events--can all affect your period, so if such relatively minor external factors can have an impact, imagine what has happened with such an invasion as candida!!

This is a reply to # 2,112,472Thank you all for your advices! It feels so good to have a conversation with people who understand how is it to be sick, and, what most important, having thousands of questions in the head every minute.
I believe candida can stress the body. However, as I wrote before, I am after almost 10-month treatment. I do feel much better now, with most of the symptoms gone (coming back from time to time ;) but the period is not any closer. Maybe I should give myself more time?
I am also much better nourished - I eat about 2500 - 3000 kcal per day, which now seem rather absored than thrown out with poo ;) Digestive and systemic enzymes really helped me with that.
I do use 2-3 grams vit C (plus natural vit c from foods). Is it enough?
Thank you once again quys, and all the best to you!- Re: Candida and hormonal issues Able90

A Candida infestation is a huge stress on the body in general, and especially the nervous system, adrenals, and the immune system.

You should go for at least six months without experiencing Candida symptoms or die-off symptoms before you make any big changes. Adding foods to a Candida diet before the time is right is one of the biggest mistakes made by Candida sufferers.

"It takes about 3000 mg of vitamin C a day to completely protect an average size adult."
