Yeast Infections

See a doctor who'll make sure that the infection is really a yeast infection. It might actually be something else. Your doctor will be able to prescribe meds appropriate for you after asking you a few questions.

good old fashion plain yougurt

You might try Vicks Vapo Rub in a jar. or the cream in the monistat yeast infection medicine sold over the counter.

You might try Candid-b which is an antifungal cream........contains clotrimazole and beclometasone....it provides relief....

A yeast infection can be cured by over the counter medication, just ask your pharmacist,, read the instructions follow it carefully, if it has not cleared up within a few days, then you must go and see a gynacologist.

It can yes...happened to me before.

It is not that the penicillin gives you the yeast problem. The penicillin kills off bad microbes and those of value, too. So it can permit unbalanced overgrowth of some microbes - which could result in a yeast infection.

Then the yeast builds up and builds up and needs to be cleared up otherwise infection will get worse and so will the side affects. Depending on the area there are many different creams/pills to take to clear up the yeast infection. You do need to go and see your doctor.

Exactly that: A yeast infection of the mouth or Oral yeast infection

Though you can also label a yeast infection as "Candida infection" or in the case of the mouth an "Oral Candida infection"

Candida fungus being the name of the bacteria (or yeast)

Candida fungus is present in the mouth and various other parts of the body at all times, it doesn't present as a problem until it overwhelms the good bacteria in the area that usually keeps it in check. Then you end up with a bacteria explosion (called an infection), this can happen in various parts of the body, including the mouth.

Some people call it "Thrush" or "Thrush mouth"

No. The live fungi (yeast) in bread dough are killed in the baking process.

Yes. For instance, yeast infections and thrush are normally quite easy to cure.

The vagina or urethra can pick up the infection through sexual contact. Although the yeast is not usually spread through sexual contact with a partner.

The ways you can develop a yeast infection is by a poor diet high in sugar content, using scented soap, and scented feminine products, tight or poorly ventilated underwear or pants, stress, poor personal hygiene, wearing a damp bathing suit or bottoms for an extended period of time and not drying the vaginal area thoroughly after a shower or bath.

Men can even develop yeast infections through having direct contact with a sexual partner who has one, without wearing a condom.

Candida is a genus of yeasts which are eukaryotic microorganisms belonging to the kingdom Fungi.

Lack of cleansing.

Ketoconazole cream is primarily used to treat fungal skin infections, but it is not typically recommended for vaginal yeast infections. Instead, antifungal medications specifically formulated for vaginal use, such as clotrimazole or miconazole, are generally preferred. If you suspect a vaginal yeast infection, it's best to consult a healthcare provider for appropriate diagnosis and treatment options.

Usually, they are caused by a fungus known as Gardinera.

No, eating yogurt while taking Amoxicillin might actually help prevent getting a yeast infection since the Amoxicillin is killing all the bacteria in your digestive tract including the good bacteria. Yogurt adds more good bacteria to your digestive tract.

certain times of the month can produce whitish, cloudy discharge which is not related to yeast. However, if you have a yeast infection that is just starting, it may not itch yet. Give it a couple days and see what happens.

Gonorrhea may occasionally cause a rash if it is not treated promptly. This symptom is not the most common presentation of gonorrhea.

I've never had pain associated with a yeast infection. You might have a Urinary Tract Infection (UTI or bladder infection) in which case it hurts when you pee. You need to get prescription medication for that.

It goes through a process called "budding". Budding is when one cell will brake into two cells, then four, etc. Since it's only one cell it's asexual not sexual.

No; Vaseline might help with the discomfort but an itchy rash needs appropriate medication. Your pharmacist - don't be embarrassed, they know all about these things - or doctor will be able to give you something that will work magic very quickly. Meanwhile, the Vaseline will cause your underwear to require a lot of laundering, which keeps you on your feet and reduces irritation caused by sitting down a lot. It is highly unlikely that vaseline can cure any type of itchy rash. It may even make it worse, since the vaseline can trap bacteria and fungi, and prevent proper cleansing of the area. It also blocks air, which is important since most bacteria and fungi breed much more rapidly in damp areas of the body, and areas that don't get the proper ventilation. You may have a yeast infection, for which you can get over-the-counter medication for. But if you have never had a yeast infection, you need to have a doctor diagnose you, in case it is something else. But, until you can get to the doctor, (at least when home) try wearing a loose robe with no underwear, to allow good ventilation, and do not use vaseline. You can try Vagisil, or a similar product to help with the itch and discomfort.

No. This is not a serious condition. It can be treated easily with few tablets to be kept in vagina.

Recurrent yeast infection is not rare. For example, Antibiotics are designed to destroy disease-causing organisms. Unfortunately, antibiotics can also kill some of the bacteria found in the vagina. When this happens, an overgrowth of Candida organisms (a yeast infection) may occur. Discover more causes of repeated yeast infection in recommended related link below.
