Answer 1

Eating yogurt and drinking 100% Cranberry Juice helps with the symptoms of Yeast Infections AND UTI - Urinary Tract Infection!


Candidiasis, commonly called yeast infection or thrush, is a fungal infection of any of the Candida species, of which Candida albicans is probably the most common.

In immunocompetent people, candidiasis can usually only be found in exposed and moist parts of the body, such as:

the oral cavity (oral thrush)
the vagina (vaginal candidiasis or thrush)
folds of skin in the diaper area (diaper rash)
Candidiasis is the second most common cause of vaginal irritation or vaginitis, and can also occur on the male genitals, particularly in uncircumcised men.

In immunocompromised patients, the Candida infection can involve the esophagus and can become systemic, causing a much more serious condition, fungemia.

Children, mostly between 3 and 9 years old, can be affected by chronic mouth yeast infections. It is normally seen around the mouth as white patches. However, this is not a very common condition.

Yeast organisms are always present in all people, but are usually prevented from "overgrowth" (uncontrolled multiplication resulting in symptoms) by naturally occurring microorganisms.

At least three quarters of all women will experience candidiasis at some point in their lives. The Candida albicans organism is found in the vaginas of almost all women and normally causes no problems. However, when it gets out of balance with the other "normal flora," such as lactobacilli (which can also be harmed by using douches), an overgrowth and symptoms can result. Pregnancy, the use of oral contraceptives and some antibiotics, and diabetes mellitus can lead to an increased incidence in yeast infections.


Symptoms include severe itching, burning, and soreness, and irritation of the vagina and/or vulva, and a whitish or whitish-gray discharge that may have a "yeasty" smell like beer or baking bread, known as a garria. It may resemble cottage cheese.

Many women mistake the symptoms of the more common bacterial vaginosis for a yeast infection. In a 2002 study published in the Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, only 33 percent of women who were self treating for a yeast infection actually had a yeast infection. Instead they had either bacterial vaginosis or a mixed-type infection. Currently, bacterial vaginosis can only be diagnosed by a doctor.

Candidiasis is alleged to be successfully treated either with home remedies or, in the case of a more severe infection, with either over-the-counter substances or prescription antifungal medications. Home remedies for candidiasis include the consumption or direct application of yogurt, which contains lactobacillus (probiotics, "friendly" bacteria that kill yeast), acidophilus tablets or salves, and even lightly crushed cloves of garlic, which yield allicin, an antifungal. Boric acid has also been used to treat yeast infections when gelcaps are filled with boric acid powder and two are inserted at bedtime for three to four nights.

While home remedies can offer relief in minor cases of infection, seeking medical attention can be necessary because the extent of the infection sometimes cannot be judged well by the sufferer. Prescription medication is often the only solution to an infection; the antifungal drugs commonly used to treat candidiasis are topical clotrimazole, topical nystatin, fluconazole, topical ketoconazole. In severe infections (generally in hospitalized patients), amphotericin B, caspofungin, or voriconazole may be used. These medications are not effective against the more common bacterial vaginosis.

Answer 4

There are different ways of coming down with this problem. The detergent, hand soap, and even silk will cause such a problem. If you sweat under fat or your breasts, you may get it. I am almost certain that sex can also cause the problem. My daughter can only use Tide detergent and cotton underwear. She cannot use any soaps nor detergents with perfume. Downy fabric softener is the only softer er she can tolerate. Your doctor should be able to tell you what triggers your problems with yeast.

Answer 5

it is an irritation in the vagina, produces cottage cheeselike discharge in the vagina. you can buy over the counter creams for that. you can also consult your doc to make sure if it is a yeast infection. good luck!
