Does amox-clav cause yeast infection or anal itching?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

as an antibiotic, Amox-clav kills all bacteria, both the good ones as well as the bad. This does leave women more susceptible to yeast infections. A yeast infection will itch and burn, and can be spread like an STD so it is important to treat ASAP. You can try to prevent this next time by eating yogurt with active cultures during your course of antibiotics.

Can you get hemorrhoids from sitting on concrete while pregnant?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Reality is, the vein's cell structure apparently weakens, allowing the vein to stretch and swell with blood, which, by definition, we then call a hemorrhoids.

hemorrhoids are caused by excessive strain on the veins of the anorectal area.

Straining to force the poo / stool / feces out, such as when one is constipated.

The second strain comes from wiping the anus - the harder and longer you wipe, the more likely you are to cause hemroids to develop.

The third main way is by lifting and carrying heavy things - doing so can also strain the anal region giving rise to hemorrhoids.

The fourth main way is through anal sex.

It is just a tale that cold cement or concrete would cause to get hemorrhoids.

Can hemorrhoids cause high blood pressure?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Hemorrhoids, internal and/or external, are caused by a multitude of reasons. High blood pressure isn't one of them. They are caused by blood being trapped in the pelvic area due to straining with bowel movements, pregnancy and/or vaginal delivery, constipation and diarrhea. High-fiber content in your diet, using stool softeners and drinking the recommended amount of water a day--along with using over-the-counter hemorrhoid ointment for a shirt period of time--will alleviate symptoms.

Severe cases are treated by surgery.

Can chihuahuas get haemorrhoids?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

yes, puppies/dogs can have hemorrhoids.

Dogs develop hemorrhoids in the same manner and for the same reasons as humans, though their rate of incidence is far less frequent. A hemorrhoid is basically a swollen blood vessel located in the anus that has begun to protrude as a result of an amplification of blood to the affected area brought on by an increase in strain, stress or pressure. They can be safely treated at home, though with caution and care, as protrusions are prone to rupture, resulting in bloody bowel movements and discomfort for your pet.

How do you raise your pH level of 5.75?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

That would depend on what fluid system you are testing.

Blood has a normal ph around 7.41; a ph of 6.5 would be potentially lethal.

The body fights very hard to maintain a blood ph at it's required range and will sacrifice vital nutrients at the expense of the health of other systems to maintain that blood ph.

Other systems of the body fluctuate based on what you eat and when. Acidic foods will lower the ph of saliva and urine. Urine often hits a ph level of around 6.5 after sleep as the body dumps excess acids from the body.

You should not be trying to lower most body systems ph levels without consulting a doctor first.

Most systems in the body function better when in balance or slightly on the alkaline side rather than leaning towards acidic.

If you have external hemorrhoids or internal prolapse hemorrhoids, the best way to get immediate relief at home is to wear Anuleaf AD. This adhesive device removes the pressure and friction that causes a vicious anti-healing cycle. You should also take warm baths a few times a day during sever inflammation and use a drug-free ointment before bowel movements.

Wearing the device continuously will speed up the reversal of the hemorrhoid to it's anatomical place.

What cause a man rectum to bleed rectum to bleed?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

This could be for a number of reasons, all of which require expedient medical care. Rectal bleeding could be from hemoroids, irritated rectal polyps, anal fissures, or intestinal problems. Bleeding from the penis could be a sign of a bladder infection, or even testicular cancer. As the rectum and the penis, though close together on the body, are internally entirely separate organs / systems, bleeding from both openings at the same time is an indication that something is definitely going on in the person's health which requires a doctor's evaluation. Also, one wants to be very prompt with medical attention with the reproductive system - delays can permanently effect sterility.
