Can A Untreated Yeast Infection Affect Other Parts Of Your Body?
My friend has a yeast infection, but because she has diabetes her doctor says nothing can be done about it to get rid of it completely. She has experienced severe pain in her head for the past week, can this be due to her yeast infection?

Yeast infections can spread from your vagina to your bladder, from your bladder to your kidneys, and from your kidneys into your bloodstream. When the infection is released into the bloodstream, it can be spread to all organs. This is called septicemia. It can lead to any number of fatal conditions, including endocarditis (infection of the heart) and meningitis (infection of the membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord). Your friend should definitely see a doctor as soon as possible!

I think so. under my breast i got fungus it was itchy and i looked up itchy breast and it says from yeast infection. i was on antibiotics and the stupid dr told me to eat yogurt for the yeast in the vagina area instead of prescribing the medication like a normal dr. i have an appt next week to see another doctor. fyi i used some fungus cream and it has been helping. so i would say yeah headache could be something serious. usually when i crave sugar i get headaches it goes away when i eat candy. she should get this check!!!ASAP!
