Do yeast cells move by themselves?
Yeast are simple fungi. The term "yeast" refers more to a life-style than to a phylogenetic classification. Yeast cells don't really move on their own, but they do multiply by budding. That is why bread needs to be kneaded. It helps spread the yeast cells throughout the whole loaf. Yeast cells don't have to be motile to contact each other. They move passively by means of "currents" in the water caused by temperature differences and random thermal motion (diffusion).

Why is yeast classified as a fungi?
They are similar in quite a few ways. As fungi, yeast are heterotrophic organisms that obtain nutrition by secreting enzymes into the environment and absorbing the byproducts. As well, they synthesize lysine using the AAA pathway. If the yeast belongs to Ascomycotina, then it will produce ascospores in asci. If it is in the Basidiomycotina, then it will produce basidiospores on basidia. Most yeasts, however, just bud or divide by fission to reproduce. Many yeast have the ability to form hyphae; thus, they are considered dimorphic.

How can you prevent urinary tract infections and yeast infections?
Generally, if you practice good vagina health--clean underwear with a cotton, breathable crotch, showers rather than baths, no use of douches or perfumed hygiene sprays--yeast infections don't happen or are a rarity. If you have one, visit your doctor for a prescription to clear it for once and for all. If you are sexually active, make sure that your partner is not the one passing on the infection to you--ask him to wash up before getting down to business.
Can medication cause thrush?
Good question, but not usually. The common medicines that can cause yeast infections are antibiotics. Your vagina has a very tempermental pH balance of good bacteria and yeast. Both are there all the time, the yeast grows and the good bacteria eats it. They naturally maintain a healthy level of each. However, when you take antibiotics, this medicine kills off any kind of bacteria, even the good kind living in your vagina. Now, this is good because it will kill the infection for which it was prescribed, but will also kill off good bacteria- leaving nothing to balance out the yeast. The yeast builds up and causes a yeast infection. Pain killers shouldn't disrupt the balance of yeast and good bacteria so you should be safe.

What might be wrong if you have a rash between your buttocks and around the vagina?
That is a common area for fungal infections like you get between your toes with athlete's foot. It is often called "jock itch" when the rash is there instead of between your toes (even in women, but then more commonly called a "yeast infection". I would try an over-the-counter cream for yeast or fungal infections, the Pharmacist can advise you on selection and use. Follow the label instructions exactly. Too often people stop using the medicine when it starts getting better but if you do, it will likely just come back again. So stay on the medicine for as long as the instructions say and also use as often each day as recommended. Ask the pharmacist when you should see your medical professional if there is no improvement.
