You can only get a yeast infection if you are sexually active
Yeast infections itch (some very badly), and can burn sometimes. The best way is to go to a doctor to make sure it is just a yeast infection, not a STD.You may get discharge(if you are 16 and younger it might just be puberty) also it may burn when you pee and itchy private. or burning when you DONT pee.Every woman will experience a yeast infection in different ways and for some symptoms may be worse than others.Yeast infection symptoms can range from mild to moderate and include:- Itching and irritation in the vagina and at the entrance to the vagina (vulva)- A burning sensation, especially during intercourse or while urinating- Redness and swelling of the vulva- Vaginal pain and soreness- Thick, white, odor-free vaginal discharge with a cottage cheese appearanceAnd if you have above symptoms, it is mostly like yeast infection. However, if you are not sure, you could consult online doctors, like Wuhan Dr. Lee's TCM Clinic for help.
No. The yeast infection causes the itchy rash. Sometimes that symptom doesn't show up until later though, so it might have just showed up by coincidence while you were taking the medication. Yeast infection treatments take up to 7 days to completely treat the infection.
This may be a side effect of the pill.. Or... You may have a yeast infection or a STD. A yeast infection can be identified with a bad smell. I would get this checked out immediately.
The white is just your discharge. During a yeast infection an overgrowth of yeast (which is a fungus) changes your discharge to a thick white cottage-cheese type discharge.
If you do not clean yourself properly, yeast love to live and reproduce in dark, moist, warm locations. Just like mold. Yum.
No. Not everyone woman will get one. I, have had a yeast infection 7 times when i was little but you know, thats just me. Some women will never ever get one.
No it's just like before.
Men can get yeast infections. While its true they are far more common in women, this is due to body structure, they have more places for the infection to hide. The reality is a yeast infection is an overload of bacteria and even men can get them. It just happens to be easier for a man to keep those areas clean so they typically avoid them. Since the early stages of a yeast infection are just a bad smell and possibly an itch, most men will respond by deep cleaning the area and remove the infection without even realizing it was anything more than a heavy sweat and dirt build up.
You can use antifungal creams and gels, or you can take antifungal tablets. You just swallow those and they should surely fix your yeast infection in no time.
No, yeast infections cannot cause your period to be late.Menstruation is controlled by your menstrual cycles, a domino effect of hormonal changes between your brain and reproductive organs, your menstrual cycle should continue as normal whether you have a yeast infection or not. A yeast infection is just a vaginal infection, when naturally occurring yeast in your vagina overgrows and causes irritation - just treat the infection. If your period is late it is due to something else, maybe stress or ill health but if sexually active pregnancy is a possibility too.
Yes, over-the-counter yeast infection treatments do cure/treat yeast infections - that's why they're sold! Just make sure that you follow the instructions and if you find it doesn't work it's a good idea to see your doctor to confirm it is just a yeast infection and maybe get a different stronger treatment.
