Answer 3

Thrush is caused by an overgrowth of the candida yeast in the vagina. Possible causes include tight synthetic underwear, which provides the warm wet conditions needed for the yeast to grow. Some girls ge it after a course of antibiotics, which kill the "friendly" bacteria found normally in the vagina which discourage the yeast's growth. If you get it very frequently, it can be a sign of diabetes. It can be passed on through sex, but is not considered an STI as it can also occur spontaneously.

Answer 4

In immunocompetent people, candidiasis can usually only be found in exposed and moist parts of the body[1], such as:

the oral cavity (oral thrush)
the vagina and/or vulva (vaginal candidiasis or thrush)
folds of skin in the diaper area (diaper rash)
the nipples while breastfeeding
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.


Cause

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, engaging in vaginal sex after anal sex in an unhygenic manner and using lubricants with glycerine have been known to be causally related to yeast infections. Antibiotics and diabetes melitus can also lead to an increased incidence in yeast infections. Candidiasis can also be sexually transmitted between partners. Diet has been found to be the cause in animals. Hormone Replacement Therapy and Infertility Treatment may be factors.


Symptoms

Symptoms include severe itching, burning, and soreness, irritation of the vagina and/or vulva, and a whitish or whitish-gray discharge.

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.

In men it can result in red patchy sores near the head of the penis, or on the foreskin. The sores will feel irritated and itchy, sometimes they will burn as well.

For some people there are no apparent symptoms.


Diagnosis

KOH (potassium hydroxide) preparation can be diagnostic. A scraping or swab of the affected area is placed on a microscope slide. A single drop of 10% solution of KOH is then placed on the slide. The KOH dissolves the skin cells but leaves the Candida untouched. When viewed under a microscope the hyphae and pseudo spores of Candida are visible. Their presence in large numbers strongly suggests a yeast infection. Swab and culture is performed by rubbing a sterile swab on the infected skin surface. The swab is then rubbed across a culture medium. The medium is incubated for several days, during which time colonies of yeast and/or bacteria develop. The characteristics of the colonies provide a presumptive diagnosis of the organism.

Answer 5

Thrush is very common. It can be triggered of by antibiotics. Some women get it monthly as the acid level in their vagina alters and it can be spread sexually as well. It can also occur more frequently in diabetics. See a sympathetic GP. He needs to give you a general check up and then can prescribe or recommend managements that can safely be given as needed.

Now everyone can cure infertility using this natural remedy http://pregnancyhelps.info
infertility can run in the family and one of the first things the doctor asks you when you go to a fertility clinic is your family history regarding cases of infertility or other reproductive issues.
If infertility is caused by genetic disorder then it's not unusual that one of the kids (your mom) doesn't have it and another does (your aunt).
two months of trying is still to early to be concerned about the fact that you might be infertile and it's also quite early to go to a fertility specialist. Go to a regular Obgyb to get a closer insight and see what ways there are are to improve your fertility rate.
Also remove alcohol, caffeine and cigarettes from your life because they might influence your chances too. Stress is also a risk factor when it comes to infertility.

Answer 7

Once infertility has been diagnosed, there are a number of treatment options available depending on the root cause of the problem. Learn here https://tr.im/KYKs6

Infertility is a condition defined as not being able to become pregnant after at least one year of unprotected, regular, well-timed intercourse. Women who suffer from multiple miscarriages may also be diagnosed as infertile. Infertility may be classified into two groups, primary and secondary infertility.

Answer 9

It depends on how often you are getting it, wearing tight clothes and tights can encourage it and it can be passed on to a sexual partner who can then keep giving it you back. If u do keep getting it though, its best to go and see ur doctor who can examine u to make sure it is thrush u are getting and not something else with the same symptoms.

Answer 10

I have read that it can be passed on, it is also caused by damp/moisture or overgrowth of a fungal yeast that lives in your intestines called candida albicans.
The best way to permanently remove the overgrowth of candida albicans is to eat super healthily (but avoiding sugary/yeasty/grain/wheat/gluten/alchohol
rich foods/drinks) & to have a series of colonics.

Answer 11

yes it can be passed back and forth through sexual intercourse especially,sometimes just using canestan cream isn't enough the one tablet is quite good,although if your getting it regularly then i would suggest visiting your GP as diabetes can cause thrush just to be on the safe side
good luck x
