Yeast Infections

A vaginal yeast infection is caused by an overgrowth of yeast organisms that normally live in small numbers in the vagina.

Your doctor might prescribe you a single-dose tablet of the antifungal medication fluconazole (Diflucan), which is taken by mouth.

We ordered their product on 5/25/13 and had not received anything by 7/18/13. We contacted Visa to report this company as a fraud. KF Washington State

White discharge without itching or burning is not a sign of a yeast infection if the discharge is no different from your usual discharge. Women normally have clear or white discharge every day, and this normal discharge is not sign of an infection.

Yes, though this could be caused by other things as well. Treat, and seek medical attention if it lasts longer than the length of treatment.

The infection could become more serious. For instance, Athletes Foot is an infection, usually, between the toes. If left too long, cracking and flacking skin can become irritating and painful.

Alberada candida was created in 1997.

Paranoid much. A yeast infection has to do with bacteria.

There are medicine over the counter at the pharmacy. it's the same for men and women.

There are different types of fungal infections.

A yeast infection is a specific type of fungal infection (candida yeast).

The known common Yeast infection signs are:

Burning, redness,

Pain when passing urine..... visit http://www.yeastinfectioncure.org/yeast-infection-signs to learn more.

Good vaginal hygiene and good oral hygiene might reduce problems, but they are not guarantees against candidiasis.

A yeast infection can occur anywhere in or on the body.

A yeast infection is an overload of candida that grows into a fungal infection.

If no other body part is specified; the most common location where it is actually called a yeast infection is the vagina. So when a women says "I have a yeast infection"; it is assumed they mean in the genital area.

However; yeast infections do occur in both men and women of any age, including children. A yeast infection can happen in the mouth, or in the throat. It can happen on the skin, in the armpits, on the feet, under the breasts or in folds of fat; and pretty much anywhere.

Anywhere a moist, warm fleshy area can develop and be left alone without cleansing it is possible for candida fungus to grow.

Yeast infections that occur in other locations (or in children) are often given a variant name even though they are technically the same fungal growth.

For example a yeast infection in a child's mouth is typically called thrush mouth; to avoid the stigma of associating a vaginal infection with a child's mouth infection even though they are both technically from the same yeast fungus.

A yeast infection in a man's armpit is usually called intertrigo.

There are a variety of terms used for the same identical (candida) yeast infection depending on gender, age and body location.

Yes. He can get a yeast infection on his penis, or if he performs oral, he could get thrush, which is a yeast infection in the mouth.

It bad to smoke marijuana - simple!

Here is some info on oral thrush there is no metion anywhere of abdominal pain.

Oral Thrush appears as creamy white patches on the tongue, roof of the mouth, back of the throat and inside the cheeks. sometimes the white patches may not be visible and the patient may have an irritated and tender mouth with reddened, inflamed areas. Sometimes adults complain of a sore throat. severe infections may cause ulcers in the mouth. The corners of the mouth may become red and split as a result of Oral Thrush. This condition is called perleche and may cause erosion and fissuring.

Adultsget a bad taste in the mouth and discomfort in eating, particularly if they wear dentures.

Circumcised men are not immune to yeast infection. Circumcision done in infancy protect the males from cancer of penis.

My Daughter is 4 months old and has/had it.

Its normal. Take him/her to the doctor, they will give them medicine you put in their mouth with a cotton swab, just be sure to BOIL and serialize EVERYTHING your child puts in their mouth, the best you can... I know its hard =]

No,it is not. In fact it is healthy. ...And quite tasty

Antibiotics can cause yeast infections by killing off the good bacteria in your system. you can take acidophilus to fight a yeast infection before you get one or to fight one off

No; it is not possible to get chlamydia from recurring UTI and Candida infections. You were exposed to the bacteria from a sexual partner.

Yes. You may kiss, but only kiss each others mouths. Do not make any contact with your sexual organs or it can transmit the yeast infection to your partner.

No, as long as regular cleaning and hygiene are performed.

However if any excess fluids of any kind (including lubricants) are left on the genitals for long periods of time without cleaning, than any mess left down there would eventually risk turning into a yeast infection.

But the yeast infection wouldn't be caused by the type of lubricant, just the fact that the area hadn't been cleaned up properly. Even sweat and your own body fluids can eventually turn into a yeast infection.

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.

Well There aren't really any yogurts that can prevent them, but ones that do help are yogurts that have the probiotic bacteria, such as Activia, or the Danactive ones. The probiotic bacteria help keep everything regulated down there, so by eating about a cup of that along with usually 2-4 acidophilus capsules a day, you should be good!

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.
