What is the treatment for infections?

There are various ways in which yeast infections can be treated, depending on what has triggered the infection. Often times yeast infections are caused by fungus which can live anywhere, including in some of our body parts. With poor hygiene, health issues, and improper wiping, women can easily get yeast infections. Fluconazole is so far the most effective treatment to kill the bacteria causing the infections.


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 you catch yeast infection from another person?

No. Yeast infections are caused by an overgrowth of a yeast that naturally exists in the vagina. Since you already have that yeast in you so you can't be "infected" by anyone else. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In fact the yeast, Candida, can be spread. That is how infants often get it - by putting things in their mouth. As someone who has dealt with massive yeast infections while nursing both my children, I can attest to the fact that the infection can be spread. I'm not positive that you can catch it from a toilet seat, but there are other ways to get it besides plain overgrowth and other places to get it besides the vagina.

An applied anti-fungal medication, available either over the counter e.g. Monistat, or via a prescription from a physician.
