Common Questions and Answers about Yeast infections in women

Avatar m tn Your wife probably does not understand the origins of yeast infections in women. They do not come from catching yeasts from their male sex partners. Women are naturally colonized with yeasts, usually in the intestines and often in the genital tract. When a woman gets a "yeast infection", it is usually not because she acquires yeast from her sex partner or anywhere else. The organism that is there all the time.
Avatar f tn Latly i been getting a lot of yeast infections i never had them before ....when my doctor gave me medicine it was a one day pill i had relief for two days then it came back so i baught a three day treatment from walgreens and its worked for a week or so and now.
Avatar f tn I believe they are common during pregnancy and yes your bf doing his business in there could be a factor... I don't get yeast infections but I get really irritated down there after sex.
Avatar f tn I am so sick of the yeast infections, Ill try anything!! And dont flip out theyre so normal in women.
1245078 tn?1268578722 Are you on the pill? I used to have chronic yeast infections for years in my early twenties. Like you, I followed my doctor's advice and was very careful but nothing helped until I stopped taking the pill (it has something to do with the artificial estrogen). So if that could be the reason, you might want to talk to your doctor about alternative methods of contraception.
1138188 tn?1312341243 Unfortunately some women are prone to recurrent yeast infections during pregnancy. Unless your doctor has told you specific OTC brands of yeast medication that are safe to use it is NOT adviseable to use OTC remedies as not all of them are safe. You really need to see you obgyn to get a prescription for something that can help knock this out instead of just making it become dormant for a short period of time.
Avatar n tn could that be it? yeast infections are a side effect of that... i dont know.. if anyone could help me that would be great..
Avatar f tn More than its a yeast infection the same thing happened to me with the infection then yeast infection it was really itchy.

I have to pee every 1 hour and the next day my vulva becomes red and i get the curdy discharge (all this seems to start right after periods and seems to last the entire mnth till next period ) I have had positive c albicans yeast cultures. I have tried yogurt, garlic, everything!!! please please tell me whats going on wiith my body?
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 Lately I been getting yeast infections it's so annoying and uncomfortable but I heard from my doctor that it's normal for pregnant women to experience this. Do anyone have this issue to???
Avatar f tn If you can, it is best to clean your genitals after sex to get rid of any foreign bacteria. Men can also develop yeast infections in their genitals (although not usually as frequently as females). In these cases, sexual contact can transmit a yeast infection from one person to another. Be honest with your partner if you have a yeast infection to avoid spreading the infection. Poor eating habits – A healthy diet will help protect your body against infection.
Avatar f tn Monistat works like a charm for yeast infections! That's what my doctor told me I could take. Just over the counter. He recommended the 7-day treatment. Baby is protected by the bubble she's in, so the medication does not get to him/her. Perfectly safe! Unless as previously said, you have any other complications. I would talk to your doctor before you do anything. And like they said, anti biotics are needed for a bacterial infection. Good luck!
Avatar f tn Bladder Infections, Vaginal Yeast Infections Probiotics can significantly reduce the incidence of bladder infections, especially in women. Most effective was the Lactobacillus rhamnosus as found in Theralac. There is strong evidence that when the vaginal flora (good bacteria) is reduced, bladder infections become more common. Ironically, bladder infections of any kind that exist before surgery are one of the more common sources for wound infection after the operation. Few doctors know this.
Avatar f tn sign of HIV infection in women if you (recognized expert) have stated that HIV related yeast infections occur in patients who have been infected for several years (lets assume more than a few months) and are at moderately "advance" stage?
Avatar m tn Yeast infections are not caused by std's. Yeast is distinct and can be determined during examination under a wet mount. Some women just get recurring yeast infections for reasons that cannot be explained.
Avatar n tn I emailed you, but here is the same answer. typically yeast infections are asymptomatic is males meaning they do not have any symptoms.Which is funny cause males are usually asymptomatic with alot of STD and infections.. women are the ones who get the brunt of things. But if you were treated you most likely did not give him anything. Plus if you did he would have about the same symptoms as you have. Sounds like he has the flu..
7454812 tn?1391877431 I've been told during your pregnancy some women will produce more yeast. Is this true? if so does the yeast make your vagina itch and do you find yourself wanting to shower more?
1434838 tn?1285404132 okay are yeast infections bad because ive never had one and im 17 and i just feel like i have aids or somthings because i think a yeast infections is that bad but i dont know what my boyfriedn gone say and how he gone take it
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 For most preggo women, yeast infections are common. You should buy a Monistat 7 and take it for 7 days, u will feel much better.
Avatar f tn high levels of simple sugars, processed foods and simple carbs can be a contributor to yeast infections. Some food allergies can also cause yeast infections. Sexual transmission: men CAN have yeast infections (their doctors may call it "jock itch" which can make it tough for a guy to even know he has a yeast infection), and women who are sexual partners can also transmit them between each other.
Avatar f tn When my hemoglobin and ferritin levels were low I had this problem. As soon as I began iron supplements and my levels increased the yeast infections went away. I haven't had one in appx 9 months. Yea! The yeast in my body was so bad I had yeast in my mouth. I didn't not know this could/is an indicator of anemia. terry PS Prior to that I was doing like you, diflucan, probiotics, anything I thought might help.
