Can a yeast infection spread to your butt?

Answer 1

Yes! As woman we are always taught to wipe from front to back, well guess what happens when you have a yeast infection? Also, if (man or woman) you have too much yeast in your body, your anus can get a yeast infection just from pooping. This is common when people have been on antibiotics for an extended amount of time, diabetic, or from other immune weakened situations.

Answer 2

Anyplace on your body when you can trap moisture and heat, is the perfect place for yeast to over-grow. When Candida's in your gut is out of balance, yeast can migrate out from the intestinal tract into the vagina and/or anywhere on the perineum (between the vagina and anus). No matter how often you treat the vagina, it will continue to reoccur until you stop the source. In the intestines.

Answer 3

Yes; if it enters the blood stream this is called a systemic infection.

Yeast infections (or any infection) can get into the blood stream through open wounds, micro tearing or by simply growing deep enough to penetrate partially through the skin.

Once an infection goes systemic it can wreak havoc on internal organs and/or cause wide spread joint pain (often confused with Arthritis)

Systemic infections can contribute to kidney and liver stress (or failure), increase blood pressure and strain on the heart and weaken the body's immune defenses that protect against other diseases and virus.

Side effects may include symptoms similar to the flu as well as headaches, body aches and additional side effects depending on which internal organs are under the most strain from the infection at any given time.

Answer 4

it makes your body rise and swell up like bread and cake!
