Yeast Infections

if you're smart, you won't get in a hot tub :P

wow you dweeb

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.

If you do it is not due to taking plan b.

I'm surprised that the person advising a yeast injection hasn't advised on its likely effects on pregnancy.

you can go to the pharmacy or local drug store and get a cream called monistat. theres monistat 7 and monistat 1 that i know of. Monistat is one of the best creams for yeast infections to purchase.

One of the side effects of Doxycycline is that it will possible provoke a yeast infection, rather than cure it. In fact, it's one of the main causes of Male yeast infections. There are other things that can provoke a male yeast infection as well, such as Diabetes, HIV, and Nonoxynol-9 [Found in Trojan Condom Lubricant.] Either way, there are cures to male yeast infections. Before taking any drugs, it's recommended that an individual who thinks they have a yeast infection to see a doctor immediately, especially if they have never had one before. There are two main types of prescription drugs you can use to cure a yeast infection. The first one is fluconazole, which can be used to kill other fungi, as well at the Candida yeast infection. Fluconazole is more commonly known by the brand name Diflucan. Beware though, allergies to fluconazole are not uncommon. The second prescription drug that can be taken is ketoconazole, which kills every fungus. There is a drawback to using ketoconazole, because it is not good for your liver. There is also a slight chance that it may reduce the amount of testosterone you produce. Ketoconazole is more commonly known as Nizoral, which can be prescribed by any doctor.

While male yeast infections can cause unbearable symptoms [itching of the head, soreness, discharge, smell] it will not do any serious damage. It is a good idea, though, to get it checked out. Sometimes these symptoms are caused by other diseases, such as HIV.

There are several over-the-counter creams you can use to treat yeast infections. Monistat and Vagisil are two of the most common products. You may also try adding yogurt to your diet. Yogurt contains acidophilus which is the ingredient found in yogurt that helps to cure yeast infections. If you don't like the taste of yogurt, you can check at your local pharmacy for acidophilus supplements. You can also control yeast infections with your diet. It's recommended that you cut out sugars and breads from your diet while dealing with a yeast infection.

It takes 3-4 days before antibiotics kick in so you feel better and you usually eat it for 10 days at least. When, and if, you develop a yeast infection can be at any time. There is no guarantee you will get one or not.

Doesn't really matter where you got it from, treatment is the same. It's not dangerous, heals by itself or you can get meds at the pharmacy. Just remember that if you are having intercourse you can give it to him too.

Candidiasis is caused by any Candida species (yeasts), the most common is Candida albicans.

If a yeast infection goes untreated, you will always have repeated yeast infections. If you treat it naturally, you have a better chance of getting rid of it once and for all. I have included two related links below to give you more information.

Yes it can. You need to see a doctor and get some medication for it. Don't self treat yourself! These are some tips to stop so many yeast infections: Try to stay away from breads, pastas, (sugars or anything that turns to sugar) Have showers and not baths. Baths are drying (even with oils in the bath) and many bubble bath products can actually cause infections in this area even in children. If you want a bath, have a body temp one and no bubble bath or oils, but use a mild soap and one without a lot of perfumes. Showers are better for you. Don't wear pantyhose without a cotton crotch and that includes underwear. Wear something like "Always Wings" pads instead of tampons. If you have a yeast infection then you will pass it onto your mate and he can transfer it back to you. Something most people don't realize is, just like when you were a little kid, it's good to run around naked and let the air get "there." Shut all the blinds in your house and go around naked for awhile or find a very private beach. Douches are not good for women! So stop! It's better to eat yogurt to balance your PH level in your body, stay away from sugar, breads, etc. Hope this helps. Marcy

As gross as it sounds, it's basically a yeast infection of the mouth.

Can happen when you are on antibiotics, have a dirty mouth, or have HIV/AIDS.

There are some over the counter yeast infection medications that you can try, if the infection is in a skin fold. If the infection is around your genitals, I would suggest talking to your doctor about appropriate medication, as the skin there can be very sensitive to irritants.

To cure a yeast infection, there is a cream that is found in any grocery store or drug store. You inject it deep into your vagina, and it comes in a range of 1 day to 10 days. But you need to be careful and make sure you put it in every single day! Because if you skip a day or two you are running the chance of becoming resistant to the medicine.

Male perspective here for an answer:

Does the coochie itch? check

Does it smell like bread rising from yeast before putting in oven? check

Do you not listen to your mother's voice when wiping, 'front to back'? check

Did you forget a tampon and left it in there and its still there? ewww

You better let a woman answer this one....cause I think you have a yeast infection, and ewww.

* Vaginal itching * Vaginal discharge that may be thick, white and lumpy like cottage cheese * Vaginal soreness, irritation or burning * Rash or redness on the skin outside the vagina * Burning on urination * Painful vaginal intercourse

Some women get yeast infection from using perfumed soap/shower gel, wearing tight undergarments like thongs, not keeping your vagina dry (if you have normal discharge it is better to wear a liner), others get it from using flavoured condoms and sometimes you can get it from your partner if he has it.

No. Penicillin is an antibiotic. This means it kills bacteria, not yeast. Penicillin works by preventing the proper formation of the cell wall that is present in some types of bacteria, so it wouldn't work for your yeast infection. In fact, antibiotics are one common cause of yeast infections because they get rid of the bacteria that typically keeps yeast in check in the body.

An organism called "Candida albicans" is found in the vaginas of almost all women. When it gets out of balance by other organisms in there, it multiplies. It is caused by antibiotics and douches, tight or dirty clothing, chemicals, and can be transmitted through sex. For more details, check out http://www.msu.edu/user/eisthen/yeast/causes.html .

Yes, it can but only if you are currently on antibiotics for the bladder infection since these antibiotics may interfere with the pH balance and acidity levels in your vaginal passage. Antibiotics aim to destroy all bacteria "good" and "bad". However while ridding the body of the bad bacteria and removing the unwanted symptoms such as burning, bleeding etc. the removal of the good bacteria may cause yeast infections, itching, irritation, dryness etc. Therefore you should research some natural ways of ridding the body of bladder infections if you have developed an yeast infection. Such as drinking lots of water to flush out bacteria, drink one glass of 100% unsweetened cranberry juice per day, have a bath before and after all sexual activity, urinate right after sex, don't hold in your pee, go when you feel the need to since moisture on the inside of th bladder may encourage growth of bacteria and don't worry to much u wont die...:)

Yeast infections are normally cured with vaginal cream or pills that can be bought over the counter, not with antibiotics. In fact, sometimes yeast infections are caused by taking antibiotics.
