Yeast Infections

use safe and natural home remedies

Antibiotics kill bacteria including the normal flora in your intestines and other places (including vagina) This can make conditions right for opportunistic infections, including candida which is responsible for most vaginal yeast infections

Yes They can.

I've heard it can last a few weeks to a month. My 2 month old has had it for a week and half. He is taking Nystatin and it doesn't look much better yet.

yes

If left untreated any infection in the vaginal or urinal tracts can cause infertility.

That depends, are you eating, rubbing, or inserting?

Yes, some of the symptoms of yeast infection is burning, itching, and blotting.

Yes you can. I had serious problems with my eyes. The doctor told me it was food allergies. After months of problems with puss in my eyes, swelling etc. I came to the conclusion that I had a yeast infection. Women typically get vaginal yeast infections, but yeast problems are something that men are not as familiar with.

I dabbed some plain lowfat yogurt in my eyes once a day for a couple of days. Let it just soak in the eye socket. The cultures from the yogurt will eat up the yeast. Within hours if felt normal.

No. See a doctor.

No, most likely cheating was not the cause. Yeast can be transferred back and forth between partners, but it is not an STD. We always have yeast in our body, you just need to keep the growth in balance. A yeast infection is caused by an over growth of Candida, this yeast can migrate out from the intestinal tract into the vagina. The warm, moist atmosphere of the vagina is everything yeast needs to thrive and make you miserable.

There are a lot of things that cause yeast infections; hormones and fluctuating hormones in pregnancy are two biggies. People with low thyroid and diabetics are very prone to yeast infections. Many antibiotics, while killing off the bacteria they are taken for, will also kill off the acidophilus in your gut. This will upset a delicate balance that will cause yeast to grow wild.

Acidophilus keeps the candida in check. One way to get more acidophilus is to eat live culture yogurt. The other is lactobacillus -- acidophilus supplements. Try taking lactobacillus - acidophilus with the live colonies containing (at least one billion organisms per capsule) You don't need a prescription. Your pharmacist should have this in his refrigerator. Take two capsules of lactobacillus -- acidophilus, twice a day, one hour before eating. You will start to feel a difference fairly quickly, continue taking for two weeks or while symptoms persist. If your symptoms last for more than 2 weeks while using the yeast balance diet, see your doctor to look for an underlying cause.

Fighting the symptoms, with medication such as Monistat (which comes with a topical anti-itch cream), and medicated or vinegar-water douches; should be discussed with your medical practitioner. I know most MDs are anti-douche, not only for disrupting the natural balance but also fear of spreading or causing a secondary infection. But a timely use of vinegar and water can be a big help in stopping the symptoms.

Allowing the vaginal area to "air out" can be a huge help. After bathing, air dry for as long as you can. If you can get away with wearing a long flowing skirt a couple times a week, without panties. If that is too risque -- men's style of cotton boxers can be worn. Sleeping bottomless is best, men's 100% cotton boxers is a close second. And gives you some protection from scratching in your sleep. Wear 100% cotton panties, helps your lady parts to breathe rather than trapping in moisture.

If you have had chronic yeast, without finding another cause; you may want to discuss having your partner checked for yeast too. Without treatment if he has contracted yeast he can cause you to be reinfected. If he tests positive, clearing you without treating him is pointless. You will continue to reinfect each other. If he is bashful; have him take the lactobacillus -- acidophilus at the same times you do. Having him fresh and clean out of the shower before intercourse and wearing clean underwear daily will also help.

Washing all of your underwear and towels in hot water and using a second rinse cycle, helps prevent reinfection. Staying out of hot tubs and get out of a wet bathing suit or work out clothes ASAP. Take a shower - rather than a bath and avoid any scented soaps, powders, "feminine" sprays or lotions in the area.

Candida may cause mouth infections in people with reduced immune function, or in patients taking certain antibiotics.

Yeast infections are caused by an overgrowth of a yeast-like fungus that usually lives harmless in your body already--whether you're sexually active or not. It's only when those populations grow out of control that you get an infection. Certain medications (especially antibiotics), obesity, diabetes and any immune disorder are just a few of the things than can make it more likely that you'll develop a yeast infection. Yeast infections are very common and about 75% of women will have at least one in their lifetimes.

No.

Erythromycin is one of the cause of yeast infection.

If no candidate for president receives a majority of electoral votes for president, the Twelfth Amendment of the United State Constitution provides that the U.S. House of Representatives will select the president, with each of the fifty state delegations casting one vote.

In the 1824 presidential election an individual needed to receive at least 131 electoral votes out of the 261 total electoral votes. Andrew Jackson received 99 electoral votes, John Quincy Adams received 84 electoral votes, William Crawford received 41 electoral votes, and Henry Clay received 37 electoral votes. The popular vote totals were Andrew Jackson 151,271, John Adams 113,122, Henry Clay 47,531, and William Crawford 40,856. Since no candidate received the required majority of 131 electoral votes, the president was elected by the U.S. House of Representatives in accordance with the Twelfth Amendment of the United States Constitution. John Quincy Adams won the election in the House of Representatives.

fungus

Yes a yeast infection can look like milk.

No yeast infections usually heals themselves over time.

No, candida is a fungus, which is the main cause of yeast infections in the body.

A yeast infection is caused by a fungus, and staph by a bacterium; but a yeast infection of the skin can cause skin compromise that makes it easier for a staph infection to occur.

No. The yeast infection can remain for years if you don't get it treated.

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.

vinegar supplements such as apple cider vinegar and any supplements containing wheat can contribute to yeast
