Avatar f tn You should not take red rice yeast with Crestor. Some natural ways to treat high blood pressure are to increase aerobic exercise, limit salt intake to 2,400 mg, trying to eat at least 3,500 mg of potassium a day, from foods such as yogurt, cantaloupe, spinach, and bananas, limit alcohol consumption, and even trying some forms of meditation. Some supplements that may help with blood sugar are GTF chromium, magnesium, Alpha-lipoic acid, and Coenzyme Q10.
Avatar n tn One of the best ways to get rid of yeast infections, long term, is to regain rigorous control over your blood sugar. Yeast just loves a sweet moist environment, which is what female diabetics with high blood sugars provide routinely. Some antibiotics can raise our BG which is an additional challenge while being treated. Keep the area very clean and talk with your doc to review your insulin routine and your resulting blood sugars.
Avatar n tn cut down on sugar (or eliminate it from your diet alltogether), at least until you're clear of the infection. Yeasts feed on sugar and can make recovery harder, and make you more vulnerable to new infections. Fruit is safe btw.
Avatar n tn Hey, I'm not a doctor but I am a nurse. The red chunks is blood and the white chunks is yeast. Are you properly inserting the nozzle in your vagina when you douche? If not, that could cause bleeding. Make a visit to your OBGYN and let him/her know about this issue so they can prescribe the proper medication. Or to cure your yeast infection yourself, buy Monistat (yeast cream), drink plenty of water, and restrict your sugar intake.
Avatar n tn Please stop having anything with sugar as of now, no ice cream, no chocolates, no sugar in the coffee etc etc. contact your doctor and he will immediately start on tablet or insulate (tablet are life long) I have the same problem, I am boarder line diabetic for last 7yeras and recently had cut of my foreskin, now almost three week doctor is treating me but it's taking really long to hell due to my sugar level. any wound on your body take really long to hell when u have sugar problem.
Avatar n tn About 20 years ago, while in college, I received a yeast infection on my penis from my girlfriend. The glans and the foreskin area was red and itchy with tiny red bumps. The doctor did a culture and gave me Hydrocortisone cream (1%) with Clioquinol (3%). I used it for about 7-10 days, and I was completely cured. About 15 years ago, at the urethral opening on the glans, a tiny fissure appeared.
1743990 tn?1311697836 Sounds like an infection, although what is the difficult to part. Either Yeast, UTI or BV. There are kits you can get to test yourself OTC--or if you choose you can see a doctor.
Avatar f tn It can be all from the yeast- even the UTI (most commonly a UTI isn't caused by yeast, but rather bacteria- some UTI's can be caused by yeast). Being on that many antibiotics also increases your chances of yeast issues. Make sure you keep everything clean- only use a towel once, wash all clothing, wash your hands alot and use paper towels to dry them. Stay away from sugar and carbs (even sugar in fruit) and that should help, along with treating the yeast.
Avatar m tn But, as I said, there are alternatives. One of the best is red yeast rice. Red yeast rice is produced when a certain type of yeast, Monascus purpureus, is fermented over red rice. It has been used in Asian countries for more than a thousand years as both food and medicine. Recently, however, natural health practitioners in the U.S. and Europe have discovered its powerful cholesterol-lowering properties.
1226748 tn?1267220695 I continue to have yeast problems despite yeast treatment. Blood sugar control is good, but I need it to be excellent. My sister's experience was that she couldn't get rid of a yeast problem regardless of what treatment she tried until she went gluten free. So that's my next step too..... So get your blood sugar control very tight. Ask your doctor for prescription yeast treatment. Consider trial of gluten free diet. Some ideas that may help you.
Avatar n tn I think it is likely to be yeast. He should have his blood sugar checked. It is very common with diabetes. Or he could have taken an antibiotic that threw his flora off. He might do better by taking a prebiotic and eating less sugar.
Avatar f tn A yeast infection can form in any moist part of your body. HIgh Sugar/High Carb diets cause an overgrowth of yeast in the blood also therefore causing the same problem. Neosporin IS an antibiotic ointment! Therefore it only feeding the yeast infection and making it worse. The Lotrimin or Lamisil will NOT work on its own but it does help and is soothing. ( re: the yogurt thing???
Avatar f tn ve been having a recurrent vaginal yeast infection for a year and my doctor advised me to have my blood tested. Blood sugar turned out to be OK, but there are a few other things that I worry about: MCV-76, MCH-24, RDW- 17,10 and MPV - 3,6. The doctor told me these things are not that important, actually she didn't even look at them, although I asked her. I'm especially worried about the MPV. Is 3,6 too low? (PLT is 290). I s there a reason to worry? What's your opinion?
Avatar m tn Doctor dint gave me any test regarding yeast infection!! The moment he saw the condition of my penis and started writing the medicines he is a experienced Dermatologist !! Before conducting the derm doc i consulted a GP... he told me to take some blood regarding STD tests!! VDRL were non reactive!! Today i consulted another new doc he told me the infection has gone 80% and given me a test for sugar and HBA1C and urine culture!!! Am just 21 years old!! Please help!! Any thing to worry about??
Avatar f tn I am looking for red yeast rice to take as I heard it could reduce LDL. Do you have any experience with red yeast rice?
Avatar m tn However, a few times since then the opening around the penis is red, the foreskin is red, and there will be red spots on the penis that at some point were painful occasionally. Following treatment my penis also peeled and seemed dry. 53 days- negative hiv, syphillis, gomorrhea,chlymadia, herpes IGM and IGG type 1 and 2, and a negative culture for HSV/HZV of the red spots that started that day. Also urine was checked for WBC's and what not and that was clear.
Avatar f tn You could have a yeast infection from the antibiotics. Ask your dr. To test you for yeast.
1972798 tn?1355549267 I say low sugar because yeast feeds on sugar, so I would even stay away from sugar even ..oh and vinegar too!! Yeast loves vinegar, so steer clear of pickles n such until the yeast infection is gone!! Good luck hun..
Avatar f tn I’ve had symptoms that lead to believe it something is up with my blood sugar. Random fruity taste and hot flashes and shaking, very mild things and are not frequent. However, I have been dealing with tinea versicolor, white tongue, thick and white vaginal discharge, and flaky scalp. I was wondering if I should look into things regarding my blood sugar. It runs in my family, but I’m a very active 20 year old female, and I again am not experiencing any debilitating symptoms.
Avatar m tn We can't really pin point what is wrong with you, you need to see a good good doctor about this. It honestly does sound like chronic yeast or maybe its just poor hygiene (I know the following advice as I used to be very poor/homless. If you think its poor hygiene then try showering and washing good down there (maybe twice a day for a little bit, at least once a day), also try wearing a new/washed underwear every day.
Avatar f tn I agree w/ Connie......The odor is yeast/fungus....Also, make sure his food is a high quality grain free...Yeast feeds on sugar...All the unnecessary grains/carbs in low quality pet food turns to sugar in the system & feeds the yeast.......Make sure you get the anti-fungal shampoo through your Vet (At least the first time!).....Then you will know what to purchase from now on........Let us know how he's doing....Karla P.S.
Avatar f tn my blood pressure tanked along with my blood sugar, and I was close to passing out for 2 or 3 days. I was a bit wobbly after that, but better and better. Part of it was the yeast die off, like a Herx. Here's my drill: ---Breakfast: onion sauteed in extra virgin olive oil, one or two eggs scrambled into that, then toss some chopped spinach on top and cover it till the spinach wilts. Salt; lemon or lime juice.
Avatar n tn I began researching yeast because I saw that the red spots could have been yeast entering the body from contact with a female. This is where I began to start noticing similarities between all of my symptoms and a Candida Problem. Im not sure how this could have happened and I am still not positive this is my problem but that is my main question. Does this sound yeast related? Can I get red dots on the head of my penis that are faint and have no figure or height to them? As in under the skin.
Avatar n tn otherwise known as candidiasis? It is basically yeast making you sick. The yeast is fed by sugar and carbohydrates. If you have it, then you would feel tired a lot, very tired, probably have a hard time staying focused, and you probably crave sweets or other carbohydrates? If any of these symptoms sound familiar, definitely google up, "candidiasis albicans" to see what you find. Oh, yeast can also overwhelm your system if you have a history of taking anti-biotics.
Avatar f tn Seems as if its irritated. Yeast infections are often times treated with anti-biotics prescribed by a doctor as a result i would advise you to return to him/her. However you can try and prevent its re-occurrence by drinking plenty of liquid especially water to flush your system. Cranberry juice (the red one) is a good thing to drink, ensure your undies are properly sunned,do not use douche to wash your vagina and keep it dry as much as you can.
