What are the systems for a yeast infection?

Answer 1

Yeast infections can happen anywhere in or on the body including the mouth, armpits or genitals and can happen in both men and women of any age (including children).

Yeast infections are caused by the growth of candida (which is present in and on the body at all times); if not kept clean the candida grows and becomes a fungal infection.

Unless you clarify its location, the term yeast infection is generally assumed to be a fungal infection in a women's vagina.

Yeast infections that happen in other parts of the body (or in children) are often given different names (like thrush mouth) to avoid the stigma of associating a child's mouth infection with a women's vaginal infection even though from a clinical standpoint they are both identical candida (yeast infections)

The first sign of a yeast infection is a bad smell. The smell of old sweat or heavy body odor is actually the first stage of yeast growth. If not cleansed quickly it eventually develops into a full blown fungal infection creating even more noticeable smells and usually rashes and sore spots in the area of the infection.
