what are yeast infection? How can you get them? What are the symptoms?Can they go away by themselves?

Answer 1

They are deadly infections of the vagina. They cause the skin to crack and bleed. When that happens, the infection travels to the blood stream. It causes nausea, vomiting, internal bleeding, heart failure and hemmorhaging. It's impossible to define where they come from, but they strike suddenly and without notice.

There is currently no cure.

Answer 2

Yeast are tiny organisms that normally live in small numbers on the skin and inside the vagina. The acidic environment of the vagina helps keep yeast from growing. If the vagina becomes less acidic, too many yeast can grow and cause a vaginal infection.

The acidic balance of the vagina can be changed by your period (menstruation), pregnancy, diabetes, some antibiotics, birth control pills and steroids. Moisture and irritation of the vagina also seem to encourage yeast to grow.

Burning, itching, and a raw feeling are the usual types of symptoms. Pain during intercourse or a whitish discharge are other symptoms.

They are very common in women and nothing to be afraid of. You should be diagnosed the first time you get one by your doctor who will recommend the right med for you. There are several types of creams, lotions, and tablets you can take.
Yeast infections are so common that 3/4 of women will have one at some time in their lives. Half of all women have more than one infection in their lives. If you have symptoms of a yeast infection, your doctor will probably want to talk to you about your symptoms and examine you to make sure a yeast infection is the cause.

And no, they do not clear up on their own.

Yes, the creams can be purchased without a prescription. But since you don't know what you have bothering you, see your doctor first. Some creams are better than others depending upon what type of vaginitis you have.

Answer 3

Yeast is always present in the vagina however if the ph in the vagina gets upset it can cause the yeast to multiply causing an infection. This can be caused by antibiotics, hot weather and exercise, sex, high sugar intake and other reasons. The symptoms include itchiness, thick cottage cheese like discharge and redness of the vagina skin. Sometimes the persons body will fight off the yeast infection and there are several effective over the counter treatments. However, if you have never had one, it is best to get diagnosis from the doctor as these symptoms can also be signs of other more serious problems.

Answer 4

Yeast is a normal flora of the vagina. When they are disrupted, they tend to get overgrow that would lead to the infection. Diabetes, antibiotics, wearing tight pants, nylon panties are some factors that can aggrevate the infection. Symptoms are abnormal vaginal discharges, itchyness and redness down there, may have occasional spotting. symptoms depends on each person, some may have one and others most of the symptoms.
No, they wouldn't go away and symptoms may get worst. Go get the gyne to see what meds you need to take, usually a vaginal suppository. Some women are prone to reinfection, meaning they will come back so better get a pro if you have the infection now.

Answer 6

Nothing to be upset about. You can get overgrowth of yeast from taking antibiotics, eating too much sugar,or being stressed.

You must treat with cream or suppositories in the vaginal area for this. I have found Monistat definitely to be the best treatment.
This may be purchased without a prescription at any drugstore.

Answer 7

1.A build up of bacteria (bad bacteria)
2. Medication, synthetics, nature, diet changes
3. Red itchy vagina, thick white discharge
4. No an over the counter medication will clear it up. But while you are clearing it up abstain from sex.. You can pass the bacteria back and forth between you and your partner.

Eating yogurt keeps the good bacteria levels up, and cranberry juice for a healthy urinary track

Answer 8

Nope. You need to call a doctor again. If you didn't like the last one you went to, find another one. Perhaps a female gyne would be better for you. And the questions you'll be asked are for diagnostic purposes. Answer honestly.
