No yeast infections arn't contagious and chlamydia is and has to be gotten from another person who has it unike yeast infections which are result many different things such as:
No, they're different infections from different germs.
Leucorrhea is commonly associated with conditions such as yeast infections, bacterial vaginosis, and sexually transmitted infections like chlamydia or gonorrhea. It can also be a normal physiological response during ovulation or pregnancy.
There is no fungus that is particularly associated with chlamydia. Occasionally, a woman may complain of a yeast infection (a fungal overgrowth) after treatment for chlamydia.
No you have to have sex with someone who has Chlamydia to get it. You can get a yeast infection without having sex; it's not really an "infection" that you catch, but an imbalance in the normal flora of the vagina. Because the symptoms of chlamydia are usually absent or hardly noticable, it's not hard to imagine a woman treating herself repeatedly with over-the-counter yeast infection treatments, not realizing that something else is wrong. Follow the instructions on yeast medication and get examined if you don't have long-lasting relief from symptoms.
A yeast infection is not a sign of chlamydia.
Most women (80-90%) with chlamydia have no symptoms at all. Those who have symptoms may have painful urination, unusual yellow vaginal discharge, bleeding between periods or after sex, and pelvic pain. In contrast, yeast infections -- really, an imbalance or overgrowth of yeast -- can cause a white, cottage cheese-like discharge and vulvar or vaginal itching, redness, and irritation.
It is not; they are separate causes. Chlamydia is bacterial, and yeast is fungal.
Yes, fluconazole has been formulated and proven effective to treat yeast infections. However, patients should use this medication appropriately as prescribed to achieve best results.More info about fungal infections and fluconazole can be found here:http://www.nicolasmed.com/
A yeast infection is diagnosed by looking at vaginal discharge under a microscope. Chlamydia is diagnosed via a cervical swab or urine test. If laboratory testing is used, you can't mistake one for the other.
It's hard to imagine who chlamydia and yeast infection could be confused. Yeast and chlamydia are very different organisms. They may occur together, leading yeast to be diagnosed clinically or via microscopic examination of vaginal discharge, and chlamydia later being reported positive from specific chlamydia testing. Sometimes patients mistake this chain of events to mean that the yeast infection diagnosis was incorrect.
No. Penicillin is an antibiotic and yeast aren't sensible to antibiotics. I think that she meant to say yeast is not Sensitive to antibiotics... not sensible... Antibiotics can actually make a yeast infection worse related to killing off the use bacteria in the vaginal canal (normal flora)
Yes.
