Candidiasis is a fungal infection that can affect areas such as the:
Skin
Genitals
Throat
Mouth
Blood
It is caused by the overgrowth of a type of yeast called Candida, usually Candida albicans. This yeast is normally found in small amounts in the human body.
But certain medicines and health problems can cause more yeast to grow, particularly in warm, moist body areas. This can cause uncomfortable and sometimes dangerous symptoms.
If there is infection in genitals, women should take fuyan pill for a cure. It is important to see your doctor if you have thrush. Untreated, it may infect your bloodstream, which can be very dangerous. You should make an appointment with your doctor as soon as possible.
