Yeast Infections

Not really. Candida is a yeast (fungus) while poison ivy is a flowering plant. The yeast is a living organism that is attempting to colonize your body while poison ivy simply exudes an irritating oil that causes an allergic reaction on exposed skin. Poison ivy usually affects only skin while candida usually affects the vaginal mucosa. Both itch (I can only speak as an authority on poison ivy) and both cause lesions but poison ivy runs its course in days while candida can live for years.

If, however you are referring to songs, Tony Orlando sang "Candida" while "Poison Ivy" was popularized by The Coasters. "Candida" is a good example of why you ought to find out what a name means before you stick your kid with a name that means something like "Yeast Infection".

yes it can any over use of an anti inflamitory can

It should not as it does not contain yeast.

Wearing tight jeans can cause a yeast infection. Also make sure you are wiping correctly. Eating yogurt will help get rid of the yeast infection faster.

Candidiasis is commonly called a yeast infection or thrush.

Use of nitrofurantoin for prolonged or repeated periods may result in oral thrush or a vaginal yeast infection. So it can actually cause one.

Antibiotics are known to cause yeast infections. Your doctor most likely placed you on antibiotics after your surgury to prevent infections. So the answer to your question is yes, it is plausable.

You will know that your yeast infection is gone because it won´t itch anymore. You need to continue taking the medication for the time that you are supposed to take it for, even if the itching goes away sooner. That said, if it isn´t bothering you, don´t worry about it.

Both trichomoniasis and candida can cause itching, irritation, discharge, and a rash. However, trich is caused by a single-celled parasite spread by sex. Candida is a naturally-occurring occupant of the vagina.

Short answer: poor nutrition and/or hygiene, often compounded by tight fitting clothing.

Longer answer:

A vaginal yeast infection can be caused by many things. The bottom line, it is bacteria growth.

Under normal healthy conditions good bacteria kill the bad bacteria and there is no infection. Anything that causes an imbalance to this can risk a yeast infection.

Imbalances can include:

1. Overuse of antibacterial soaps, this kills both the good and bad bacteria, the bad grows back faster

2. Poor nutrition, lack of probiotics and so on can lead to an imbalance of healthy bacteria

3. Lack of hygiene, cleaning the area daily with warm water and weekly with vinegar is typically enough for a healthy adult to prevent a yeast infection

4. Excessive sweating; what leads to armpit smells on one part of the body also leads to yeast infections in the other place, its all bacteria growth and needs to be cleaned regularly

5. tight fitting clothing or clothing with poor ventilation can lead to excess heat and moisture build up which encourages bacteria growth. Cotton and loose fitting clothing can increase air flow and help prevent yeast infection

6. Too much sugar in your diet can weaken the immune system and allow excess bacteria growth

Anything else that can cause sweat to stink can cause yeast infection, its basically just an overload of bacteria.

Yes backache accompanies a yeast infection usually when it is on a serious stage. This happens when it is not treated early.
