What is the cause of thrush (a white substance or liquid found in the vagina or on the tongue)? it can be treated outside the hospital?
If oral candidiasis is caused by drug side effects go away after the medicine is no more?
I had the symptoms of a yeast infection (discharge of thick, burning, itching, pain during intercourse, dryness, etc.) used monistat 1 on Monday night. His hours Thursday night and while the burning and itching went away almost completely, there is still thick white stuff inside me. Is this normal? It will gradually shed or should I go to a doctor now and get Diflucan?
Ive gotten over my yeast infection and now it still smells like wet dog hair. Does anyone know how long this will last?
5% of women are in the unfortunate position of their yeast infection becoming worse after treatment. If you’re one of these women you’re now suffering from what is known as Chronic yeast infections. Explained below are the reasons why your fungal infection is worse after using an anti Candida treatment.
Resistant yeast
One of the reasons why your vaginal Candida infection has been made worse by the anti fungal treatment is the yeast has become resistant to the active ingredients in the cream or suppository. If you have used the treatment before the yeast will already know how to mutate to defend itself. Antibiotics use is the most common way of creating a stronger strain of yeast. Antibiotics are now the biggest cause of yeast infections because they do more than kill the infection they were intended for.
Antibiotics are good at killing bacteria, but this means they also kill your body’s friendly, beneficial bacteria which are your own natural defense against fungus like the mutated Candida yeast. Without your friendly bacteria protecting your vagina, and the anti fungal OTC treatment upsetting the bacterial balance further the yeast has an easy time re-infecting you. And when it does it comes back stronger, and it is ready to defend itself against the next lot of treatment.
You could have an intestinal yeast infection
Chronic yeast infections can be a symptom of an intestinal yeast infection. Intestinal yeast infections will start off by giving you symptoms that effect your digestive process. These include bloating and acid indigestion. Once the intestinal Candida overgrowth gets worse you will experience symptoms that effect your whole body, and these include symptoms like fatigue, foggy brain and aching muscles and joints.
Intestinal Candida infections can be caused by…
Antibiotics use
Poor diet high in sugar and lacking nutrition
A health condition such as diabetes
A weakened immune system
If you suspect that you’re suffering from intestinal Candida overgrowth then your health will benefit from an anti Candida protocol. This will attack the Candida from every angle, and not just kill fungus like an anti fungal drug will. When you use a drug to kill the fungal overgrowth you just create a better environment in your intestines for the fungus to re-infect you.
You have another vaginal infection
On rare occasions, women will self diagnose themselves, and get the diagnosis wrong. This means that they are treating another vaginal, bacterial infection with an OTC yeast cure. This will just ease the symptoms of the real infection, and when the treatment stops the symptoms of the real infection come back worse. Using an OTC yeast infection treatment on another vaginal infection can in fact cause a yeast infection. This is because the Candida that is living harmlessly in your vagina will mutate when you’re applying the anti fungal cream or suppositories.
Seeing your doctor
As soon as your yeast infection returns you should see your doctor. If you have self diagnosed your infection your doctor can make sure you do actually have a yeast infection. If you have been treating another infection of your vagina you risk permanent damage to your kidneys and/or your reproductive organs if the real infection isn’t treated correctly and in time.
Natural cure for yeast infections
Once you have a correct diagnosis, and you know you’re suffering from recurrent yeast infections you then have 2 choices: You can use a stronger conventional anti fungal treatment; or you can use a natural yeast cure that will provide your body with everything it needs to rid your system of the Candida yeast.
Natural yeast cures will…
Strengthen your immune system
Starve the infection causing Candida
Kill the Candida
Encourage the re-growth of your friendly bacteria
Give you your good health back
Although you will be going against what you doctor advises, your body will thank you for using a natural cure instead of more anti fungal drugs.
On Monday my doc tor prescribed me with a 3-day treatment for my yeast infection, it’s called Clotrimazole 3. It’s this cream thing. Anyway, I just finished it last night. How long should I wait to have sex?
My gyno gave me some vaginal dialators to use because I have a problem with muscle spasms down there. I recently used one and then realized that I had a yeast infection. I’ve since gotten rid of it with some Vagisil, but am not sure how I should go about cleaning the dialator so I don’t give myself another yeast infection. Has anyone ever had this problem before? What’s the best thing to do?
I think the swabs may have given me a yeast infection. that has been treated and the symptoms seem to be this Wednesday night was past.
