Avatar n tn Candida albicans. However, we were told thrush is commomly found in newborns, infants and the elderly. Only a doctor can tell you if your nine-year old son has it. Good luck.
Avatar n tn If your newborn has blood spots in her diaper, please do not wait to see the Dr. Chances are it's a simple explanation, but this should absolutely be investigated right away. It is important she be seen right away.
Avatar n tn My Dr has treated me with Metronidazole- brand name used was flagyl Nylstatin for yeast, clamycin,spandnox (for yeast), and recently had some relief with Augmentin(which was prescribed for a chest infection). When i was on augmentin all the above symptoms went away however came back 1 or 2 days after i came off the anti biotic.
Avatar f tn t balanced yet, and even the smallest yeast on the breast or bottles can cause an overgrowth and thus a yeast infection, even if the amount of yeast on your breast or on the bottles isn't enough to be noticeable. Don't give a newborn probiotics; your best bet is to talk to your child's pediatrician. I wouldn't wait...thrush can become itchy or even painful and interfere with eating. Since you're doing that...I wouldn't worry.
Avatar m tn Hi there. Being a virgin doesn't change anything with yeast infections. Newborn babies can get yeast infections. The way a doctor checks for yeast is to take a swab of the discharge. It's easy to do and not very invasive. Then you'll be given either a pill to take for it or told to do the over the counter meds to treat it.
Avatar m tn can a male develope a yeast infection in his penis by receiving oral sex - in other words does having someone give me a blow job cause a yeast infection?
Avatar f tn Yes, you can get a yeast infection as a virgin. Women often get a yeast infection, for example. after taking certain antibiotics, which can disturb the normal healthy balance of the vagina. However, it is also possible to get bacterial infections (again while still being a virgin), not just yeast infections, so it is important to get it checked out to see what organism might be causing the problem and whether a medication might be needed to clear it up.
Avatar n tn thanks ladies and I have developed thrush unexpectedly on my tounge and have a yeast infection and anything I read on both is hiv I would never think my husband would cheat but now I'm not sure what to think and I'm really nervous, I don't want anything to happen to my baby and or me either .
Avatar n tn an urinary tract infection, vaginal infection, or an infection of the skin of the perivulvar area. The infection could be bacterial, yeast, or a combination. Usually urinary tract infections are accompanied by the symptoms of increased frequency of urination, and/or drinking, dribbling, or inappropriate urination. However, occasionally the only symptom is licking the vulvar area.
Avatar n tn You can get a bacterial infection from having sex with someone who has one or just from having poor hygiene in general. What type of bacterial infection do you mean?
Avatar n tn I understand that you are scared, but for the benefit of your baby and yourself, you need to believe those you tell you that you are not infectious to your newborn. HSV 2 is a sexually transmitted infection, not transmitted through touch. Please - take off your gloves, leave them off, and touch your baby fully and with love. If you have outbreaks, just wash your hands after using the restroom, and touch your baby normally.
Avatar f tn I'm 25 weeks pregnant. I've had a couple bacterial infections and recently I've noticed some little white bumps in the vaginal area. I was wondering if this could be from the bacterial infection? Or if it could be from a yeast infection? I have an appointment tomorrow but it's really worrying me and I was just looking for some answers.

Avatar f tn I am now 36 weeks and have my 3rd yeast infection and have had one uti since I hit my 3rd trimester. I am so tired of getting infections. It just want to cry about it but I know it won't change anything.
Avatar f tn If its thrush in the vagina that is just basically a yeast infection... caused by a certain type of bacteria. (I think). I don't think it affects the baby. Good luck and I hope you get it taken care of quickly!
Avatar f tn Let your OB know because many times its hard to tell the difference between bacterial vaginosis and a yeast infection.
