The real cause of yeast infection??

Question

i know poeple say its from having sex but whats the truth

Answer 1

Too much sugar in the diet
are you diabetic?
are you getting rid of the yeast infection completly and treating your partner with monostat as well?
ARE you refraining from having sex the 7-10 days of your yeast infection?
Have you tried diflucan? I have to take it for 14 days!!!

I am on Estrogen Replacement therapy, and had to lower my dose of estrogen-- too much estrogen makes yeast infections more prone.

When you pee do you wipe from front to back????
if you wipe from back to front you are bringing the yeast from your anus right into your vaginal area and it's full of yeast.

Yeast is all over the and in the body. Especially the anus.

I eat plain yogart everyday-- i use splenda sweetner
I cut way back on my sugar intake
NO caffine
I take Llysine tablets
and Acidopholis
When I get a bad flare-up I call my doctor and get Terazal creme
the over the counters don't work for me.
*I also take a 10-14 day oral medication called Diflucan

I wear cotton undies, and cotton jeans
I do not wear tieght jeans, or any clothing that is not at least 80%cotton. that includes especially stretch jeans!!!

Washing in the am and washing in the pm or afternoon, and changing your underwear 2-3 times a day helps.

Yeast likes wet, damp dark areas. it thrives.

I have tried everything.

Do not douch!

if you cannot give up Caffine, try 1/2 decaf mix.
I know that coffee, sugar and chocolate, and tieght sweaty jeans 100% I'll get yeast.

Yes, you can get it from your partner, he may not show any signs, if he does it will look like a fine white powder on his shaft
NOT what we get!!!

Could be from shaving, or it could be that you are sensitive to the elastic in your underwear, or maybe wearing underwear a little too snug. Try sleeping commando at night (without undies), or wearing looser underwear during the day and see if that helps any. All I can say for sure is that lacking other symptoms, it is not a yeast infection. Try to pinpoint when it started, and what other event coincided with that time. Did it begin when you began shaving? Or when the weather started warming up? Or maybe you bought a new brand or style of underwear? If you can pinpoint the coinciding event, you'll most likely have your cause. In the meantime you can use a cortisone ointment for relief, and maybe you'll want to re-think your personal grooming? I don't completely shave down there for that very reason, I just use a trimmer and trim most of the hair really short. I find that hygienic enough. If you must remove the hair due to the way your swimsuit fits or whatever, try a Nair-type depillatory product, or waxing. If nothing helps, it could be a bacterial infection, or skin disorder, and you should see a doctor asap for a diagnosis and treatment. Good luck!

Answer 4

Hello, I'm on the second week and seeing definite improvement on my yeast infection symptoms:

Note that: If the yeast infection doesn't respond to over the counter treatment, prescription medication will likely be necessary. Similarly, if the symptoms return after two months of being treated, you should contact the doctor for professional treatment rather than resorting again to home treatment.

If this is the first time you have experienced a yeast infection, you should schedule an appointment to have the condition treated by a doctor instead of resorting to home treatment

Answer 5

You can pass a yeast infection between two sexual partners (especially if the male is uncircumcised) but that's not the only cause of yeast infections.

Your vagina has colonies of bacteria that are beneficial to the body. One thing those bacteria do is eat yeast. If something happens to the colony of good bacteria, then you will have excess yeast. Antibiotics can kill the good bacteria in the vagina, and so can douching. Changing hormone levels can also cause yeast infections (for example, during pregnancy or while taking the pill). Diabetes is a cause of frequent yeast infections.

Yeast like to grow in moist environments...so wearing cotton panties, or no panties can help.

Eating yogurt helps maintain the beneficial bacteria colonies. You can also take acidophilus, which is a dietary supplement (check the vitamin aisle), or probiotics (health food store, and they're often expensive).

Answer 6

Yeast is a fact of life — most people have small amounts of yeast in their mouths, intestines, or, for women, their vaginas. For many women, yeast infections are a fact of life, too! Yeast infections are really common, and there's no need to be embarrassed if you have one. Read on to find out more about yeast infections — from what they are to how to avoid them.

What is a yeast infection?

Many healthy women have a small amount of a certain kind of yeast called candida in their vaginas. When yeast in the vagina overgrows, a yeast infection develops, often leaving a vaginal discharge and/or an intense itching around the vagina and vulva.

What causes a yeast infection to develop?

A yeast infection can develop because of


certain antibiotics
diabetes
drugs that slow the immune system (like cortisone)
immune deficiency
normal hormonal changes (some women)
pregnancy
Ingesting too much yeast in the form of bread or alcohol does NOT cause a yeast infection!

What are the symptoms of vaginal yeast infections?

Symptoms include


itching, irritation, and redness of the vulva and opening of the vagina
painful intercourse
a thick, white, odorless, vaginal discharge
a white coating of the vagina
The only way to be sure you have a yeast infection is by making an appointment with a health care provider and having a swab of vaginal discharge looked at through a microscope. But, if you have had a yeast infection diagnosed before, you may be able to tell that you have a yeast infection if your symptoms are the same as with your previous infection.

What can I do to help prevent a vaginal yeast infection?

You can help prevent a vaginal yeast infection by


Keeping the area around the genitals as dry as possible.
Washing your vulva regularly with mild soap and water.
Rinsing well and dry thoroughly after washing.
Letting towels dry between uses.
Not sharing towels.
Avoiding sitting around in a wet bathing suit.
What can I do to treat a vaginal yeast infection?

First, get a diagnosis of a yeast infection from a health care provider. Your provider will recommend a treatment.

Treatments for yeast infections include prescription and over-the-counter medications. Pills, taken orally, require a prescription. Several vaginal creams and suppositories are available without a prescription. Most of these are used for one to seven days. Treatment is successful more than 90 percent of the time.

Remember, there are vaginal infections besides yeast that share similar symptoms of itchiness, pain, and discharge. In fact, recent studies have found that many women misdiagnose their own vaginal yeast infections. If you use an over-the-counter treatment when you don't really have a yeast infection, you could be building a resistance to medication. That means the next time you have a real yeast infection, it may be much harder to get rid of! And — more importantly — the real problem is left ignored. That's why it's so important to be diagnosed by a health care provider.

Note: It's best to avoid vaginal intercourse while taking yeast infection medication. You might aggravate your symptoms or interfere with the treatment's effectiveness.

Can anyone take over-the-counter medication for a vaginal yeast infection?

Women are advised to read product labels carefully and consult a pharmacist if they have any questions. Pregnant women and women who are on blood-thinning medications should consult their health care provider before using any yeast infection medications.

Can men get yeast infections?

Yes, it's possible for men to have yeast infections. Men can develop an overgrowth of yeast if the normal conditions of his urethra are changed. Men with yeast infections may notice redness and irritation of the penis or scrotum. Although yeast infections are not contagious, contact with a partner may stimulate an overgrowth.

What if I have recurrent or chronic yeast infections?

Talk with your health care provider about finding the reason your yeast infections won't go away or keep coming back. Recurrent or chronic yeast infections may be caused by conditions like diabetes or HIV that weaken the immune system, incomplete treatment of previous infections, or repeated new irritations.
