1277912 tn?1271164818 i just looked up information on yeast infections for a problem im having and it said that yeast infections are not harmful. On very rare occasions they can spread to your body and that can be fatal but that is highly unlikely to happen.
Avatar n tn I'm having the same issue. I don't like Monistat. I've heard too many stories where it doesn't work. I heard that Lotrimin works.
Avatar n tn t happen all the times but most times when I am dry. I am 32 years old and he is 49 I have went to the doctor and I keep getting yeast infections. I use the over the counter meds fr it and sometimes the doctor prescribes me creams but it keeps coming back. Is it coming back because I gave it to him and he brings it back to me each time? He is a diabetic and is uncircumcized but he is very clean and has good hygienes in that department.
Avatar f tn Your vagina should have a smell though, and you should become familiar with the normal smell so that you can tell in the future if it changes. Bacterial vaginosis and yeast infections can arise spontaneously, without sexual activity being involved. Did you check for a tampon? I know it's gross, but if that's your problem it should be an easy fix. You can put gloves on if you're really grossed out by the idea.
Avatar f tn i've had many and yes they do go away. I've never had it spread to my rectum, but i would think that it is possible. a yeast infections occurs when the bad bactria in your body over produces and out numbers the good bactria. the reason they say wipe from front to back is so you're not getting fecal matter in your vagina. All these good and bad bactria live in your intesine and they are needed in order for your body to function and digest food properly...
Avatar n tn My GF has a yeast infection and also some illness that makes her cough a lot (it may not be bronchitis). The yeast infection has spread to me, and although I have temporary relief using MICONAZOLE NITRATE, the tip of the foreskin still has some flakeyness and it feels like the foreskin is shrinking. I posted this because I noticed that someone else had the same problem and also mentioned that the girl may have bronchitis. Could there be a link?
Avatar f tn So for the past week or so I've been feeling as if there was something in my anus-- like not too deep in there, but some kind of moving that makes it itchy... Kind of like pinworms? Except when I wipe there doesn't seem to be any worms of any sort. Maybe it's because I'm taking prescription yeast infection medication that lasts for seven days (I've had a chronic yeast infection for a month)? Do yeast infections spread to your butt? Sorry for this gross question!
Avatar n tn Yes men can catch yeast infections and bacteria infections too. They can get them and give them. Both are not considered a std because they can occur on their own in women bodies without any sexual contact.
Avatar n tn Fungal infections like yeast are easily spread between body parts on an individual and between people.
Avatar n tn Yeast infections can be spread sexually and orally (yes, you get it in your mouth) to both male and females.
Avatar f tn Has anyone had multiple yeast/BV infections? I've had 3 so far and I think I'm having another! I'm going to ob tomorrow and I'm sure I'll get some meds. It's frustrating. Anyone Else?!?! Please help.
Avatar f tn I've heard you can take monistat for a yeast infection. But I would talk to your doctor first. Treatment for a yeast is different than bacterial, and you should make sure you don't have any other complications before starting something.
Avatar n tn m also not an MD, but I wonder -- especially with the dangerously high blood sugars -- about yeast (candida) infections. Normally, yeast infections thrive in warm moist body areas, but they can spread and unfortunately, the systems of an uncontrolled diabetic are quite pleasant for yeast to grow. It's important for your dad to work with a doc who's very well versed in diabetes and perhaps that doc will also consult with other specialists. I hope he'll find some relief soon.

324142 tn?1253822722 Yep, which is why baby's can have diaper rashes that are actually yeast infections ( I saw that on a commercial, actually) I also said in my reply last time that it may be. Hope you get something that works.
Avatar f tn I'm 36 weeks pregnant. I gotten alot of yeast infections during my pregnancy. probably around 4 , Ive just got treated for one but I believe I got another again.
Avatar f tn s plate) 3. Rarely persons performing oral sex on a partner with vaginal yeast infections can get thrush. This is through direct contact and as I said, it is quite rare. 4. In normal people yeast does not spread through the body from one place to another. your BF did not get his thrush from the spread of yeast from you to him and then through his bloodstream. I think you two have ahd a bit of bad luck. I would not be otherwise concerned. Hope this helps.
Avatar n tn I just got done with both of those infections and it drove me crazy but its very common in pregnancy I never used the monistat 7 while pregnant but I don't cause pre term labor but the infection can well that's what I was told so it has to be treated as soon as possible
Avatar n tn She should get treated for thrush/Candida infection (the most common type of yeast infection). If gone untreated or treated poorly, then it can spread to the rest of the body, which might explain her sores..although I'm not sure that it can cause sores. Not a lot of research has been done for Candida infections. Either way, it's difficult to spread to males because the male reproductive organs are enclosed. Usually you'll just have irritation.
Avatar f tn I showered when I had them , it felt better & the dirty water can make it worse. Monistat works great for yeast infections to!!
Avatar n tn Its very common to get multiple yeast infections during pregnancy. There isn't really any way of preventing as hormones change constantly. Speak with your doctor to see about preventatives but I've learned they don't help much.
869578 tn?1239645299 Yes birth control can cause yeast infections. So can antibiotics. STD's and HIV can cause them too so its a good idea to get tested. A few years ago I was getting them frequently, it seemed like as soon as one cleared up (after using Monistat), I would get another one. I wasn't on the pill or using condoms, but I had a new sexual partner, now my husband. We used a spermicidal birth control that could have been the cause of it. My dr.
