Yeast Infections: 101 | Health Answers

Get the Facts About Vaginal Yeast Infection Symptoms and Treatment

Of all the “down there” drama a woman has to endure, vaginal yeast infections (candidiasis) rank high on the scale.

And chances are you’ve had to deal with one yourself: Three out of every four women will have at least one yeast infection during their lifetime, and about 45 percent of women will have two or more infections. In fact, yeast infections are one of the most prevalent types of infections that strike women. Yet, despite being so common, yeast infections are still largely misunderstood. Learn more about what causes a vaginal yeast infection, signs you may have one and how to treat it.

What are the symptoms of a yeast infection?

Yeast infections are a type of vaginitis or inflammation of the vagina and vulva (the area surrounding the vagina). These infections are rarely a serious health issue, but they can cause bothersome symptoms such as:

  • Vaginal itching
  • Burning or soreness inside or around the vagina
  • Redness and swelling of the vulva
  • Thick, whitish, clumpy vaginal discharge that may resemble cottage cheese
  • Pain when urinating or during sex
  • A rash on the vulva

What causes a yeast infection?

Yeast is a type of fungus (called Candida albicans) that’s always present in small amounts in the body. It lives in the mouth, gastrointestinal tract and vagina, usually without causing any symptoms. Bacteria are also present in the vagina (and throughout the body). Acid produced by the bacteria helps keep the yeast from overgrowing. However, many different things can throw off this healthy balance. When an overgrowth of yeast cells occurs, an infection forms.

“Any woman can develop a yeast infection,” says Ingrid Rodi, MD, associate clinical professor of obstetrics and gynecology at the Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA. And sex is rarely the culprit. Most yeast infections are caused by a weakened immune system, she explains. 

Other factors can also throw off the balance of bacteria in the vagina—such as a change in the normal acidity (pH) level of the vagina or hormonal fluctuations—and bring on a yeast infection, including: 

  • Using antibiotics, birth control pills or steroids
  • Menstruation
  • Pregnancy
  • Stress
  • Sleep deprivation
  • Illness
  • Using douches or feminine hygiene sprays
  • Wearing tight, poorly ventilated, synthetic underwear or pants

“Some serious medical conditions put certain women at a higher risk for infection,” adds Rodi. “The most common of these is diabetes.” High sugar levels, such as those associated with diabetes, encourages the yeast to grow.

Though not as common a culprit, bad eating habits, including eating extreme amounts of sugar, can also fuel a yeast infection.

Can I get a yeast infection from having sex, or give one to my partner?

Yeast infections are not considered a type of sexually transmitted infection (STI). (This is because yeast infections can happen in women who aren’t sexually active and the candida fungus is naturally present in the vagina, along with other places in the body.)

Though it is less common, “it is possible to transmit a yeast infection through sexual contact, whether oral or genital,” cautions Ronald Woodward, MD, an ob-gyn practicing in Glendale, California, with more than 20 years of experience treating patients. In fact, 12 to 15 percent of men get an itchy rash on the tip of their penis after having unprotected sex with an infected partner, and some research shows that lesbians may have a higher risk for infection.

If I think I have a yeast infection, what should I do?

If you have symptoms of a yeast infection, call your doctor to make an appointment. Symptoms of a vaginal yeast infection are similar to those of some STIs, like chlamydia and gonorrhea, two types of STIs that can have serious health consequences if left untreated, so getting an accurate diagnosis is key.

If you’ve previously had a yeast infection diagnosed by a doctor and your current symptoms are the same, your doctor may not need to see you in person and may just prescribe a treatment over the phone. Or your doctor may suggest you try treating the infection using an over-the-counter (OTC) antifungal product.

However, if there’s any doubt that you have a yeast infection, check with your doctor. Studies show that two-thirds of women who use OTC treatments don’t really have a yeast infection. Taking the wrong medication can make your existing health condition worse. And you want to be sure you’re treating the true cause of your symptoms.


How are yeast infections diagnosed?

During your appointment, your doctor will perform a pelvic exam to look for signs of a yeast infection, such as swelling and discharge. Your doctor will also likely take a swab of fluid from your vagina and examine it under a microscope to determine if yeast is the culprit.

How are yeast infections treated?

Yeast infections are treated using OTC or prescription antifungal medications. Note that taking antifungal medication is the only way to clear up a yeast infection. 

There are several different types of antifungal medicines: creams that are applied directly to the vaginal area, pills that are taken by mouth (fluconazole) or suppositories (butoconazole, miconazole, clotrimazole and tioconazole) that are inserted into the vagina.

OTC antifungal creams, ointments, tablets and suppositories are effective in clearing up most yeast infections. Some medications require a one-time application, while others involve taking the medication for three days or longer. Follow the directions on the box carefully and talk to the pharmacist if you have questions.

If your symptoms don’t go away after taking an OTC treatment, call your doctor. Sometimes a prescription oral antifungal medication is needed to successfully treat a yeast infection.

I get yeast infections often. Is that a problem?

If you have frequent yeast infections—four or more in one year—your doctor may diagnose you with recurrent vulvovaginal candidiasis (RVVC). In this case, you’ll likely need long-term, prescription treatment for up to six months to get rid of the infection. RVVC is most common in women with diabetes or weakened immune systems.

 

Can I have sex while I’m being treated for a yeast infection?

You should abstain from vaginal intercourse and from receiving oral sex while you are being treated for a yeast infection. This is to make sure the medicine has a chance to do its work (especially if you are using an antifungal cream or suppository) and to make sure that the infection is not passed along to your partner.

Can eating yogurt help cure a yeast infection?

“The bacteria present in yogurt inhibit the growth of yeast, and eating yogurt can definitely be helpful in preventing yeast infections,” says Woodward. “However, as a treatment for an already established infection, eating yogurt is less helpful.”

Does douching help treat a yeast infection?

Don’t fall for the myth that douching—or douching with yogurt, as some old wives’ tales have it—will treat a yeast infection. Douching can actually worsen an existing infection and raise your risk for future infections.

How can I prevent getting a yeast infection?

To help lower your chance of getting a yeast infection, practice good feminine hygiene. The following habits can keep the bacteria in your vagina balanced and help prevent yeast infections:

  • Don’t use douches or scented feminine products like sprays with fragrance, scented tampons or pads, or scented bubble baths.
  • Change pads and tampons often during your period.
  • Always wipe from front to back after going to the bathroom.
  • Wear cotton underwear.
  • Avoid wearing tight-fitting, synthetic underwear or pants.
  • Change out of swimsuits and sweaty exercise clothes as soon as you can. (Moist, humid environments are ideal for yeast growth.)
  • Stay out of hot tubs and very hot baths. Take a shower instead.
  • Don’t take antibiotics unless they’re necessary because they kill both good and bad bacteria.
  • If you have diabetes, HIV or AIDS, follow your care plan as prescribed by your doctor.

Care clotrimazole cream 1%

What is Care clotrimazole 1% cream used for?

Skin infections caused by yeasts (eg Candida), dermatophytes (eg Trichophyton, Tinea), moulds and other fungi, such as the following:

  • Athlete’s foot (tinea pedis).
  • Fungal infection of the groin, ie jock itch (tinea cruris).
  • Ringworm (tinea corporis).
  • Fungal nappy rash caused by infection with Candida albicans.
  • Sweat rash caused by infection with Candida albicans.
  • Relieving the external symptoms (candidal vulvitis) of vaginal thrush (candidal vaginitis). (This cream should be used in combination with another medicine that treats the infection inside your vagina – ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice about which products to use.)
  • Inflammation of the penis and/or foreskin (candidal balanitis) caused by infection with Candida albicans (also known as thrush).


    How does clotrimazole cream work?

    Clotrimazole kills fungi and yeasts by interfering with their cell membranes. It works by stopping the fungi from producing a substance called ergosterol, which is an essential component of fungal cell membranes. The disruption in production of ergosterol causes holes to appear in the fungal cell membrane.

    The cell membranes of fungi are vital for their survival. They keep unwanted substances from entering the cells and stop the contents of the cells from leaking out. As clotrimazole causes holes to appear in the cell membranes, essential constituents of the fungal cells can leak out. This kills the fungi and treats the infection.

    How to use clotrimazole 1% cream

    ▪️ Clotrimazole cream should be applied to the affected area(s) of skin thinly two to three times daily and rubbed in gently.

    ▪️ A strip of cream 0.5cm long is enough to treat an area of skin about the size of the hand.

    ▪️ Make sure you wash your hands after applying the cream to avoid spreading the infection to other areas.

    ▪️ Treatment should be continued for at least one month for dermatophyte infections and at least two weeks for candidal infections.

    ▪️ Ask your pharmacist for further advice on treating your particular infection.

      If you are using clotrimazole cream to treat athlete’s foot you should make sure you wash and dry the feet, especially between the toes, before applying the cream. You may also want to use an antifungal powder inside your socks and shoes to help treat the infection and prevent it coming back.



      If you are using clotrimazole cream to treat vaginal thrush it will only relieve the external symptoms of the infection, such as itching, inflammation and soreness. It won’t treat infection inside your vagina, and so should be used in combination with a thrush treatment that does, for example clotrimazole pessaries or cream that are inserted into the vagina, or an antifungal medicine taken by mouth. Your doctor or pharmacist can advise you about which products to use.

      Key information to know about clotrimazole cream

      ▪️ Consult your doctor before using this medicine if you are unsure of the cause of your infection, or you have not had it before.

      ▪️ Clotrimazole cream may damage latex (rubber) condoms and diaphragms (caps) and so make them ineffective at preventing pregnancy and STIs. If you are using this cream to treat the vagina or penis you should use an alternative method of contraception for at least five days after using the cream, or preferably avoid having sex until after the infection has cleared up. Remember that having sex while you still have the infection is likely to transmit the infection to your partner, who could then transfer it back to you.

      ▪️ If your sexual partner also has symptoms of thrush it is important that they are treated at the same time as you to prevent you being re-infected. Ask your doctor or pharmacist for further advice.

      ▪️ If symptoms persist despite treatment, seek medical advice from your doctor or pharmacist.

        Is it safe to use clotrimazole 1% cream if pregnant?

        Clotrimazole 1% cream is unlikely to have any harmful effects if used during pregnancy because very little of the medicine is absorbed into the bloodstream. It has been used by a large number of women during pregnancy without any apparent harmful effects. However, as with all medicines, you should check with your doctor or midwife before using this medicine if you are pregnant.

        Read more about using clotrimazole during pregnancy here

        Is it safe to use clotrimazole 1% cream if breastfeeding?

        Clotrimazole 1% cream is not significantly absorbed into the bloodstream from the skin and it is highly unlikely that any of the medicine will pass into breast milk.

        Possible side effects of clotrimazole cream

        Medicines and their possible side effects can affect individual people in different ways. The following are some of the side effects that are known to be associated with this medicine. Just because a side effect is stated here doesn’t mean that all people using this medicine will experience that or any side effect.

        Irritation in area of use, for example burning, stinging, itching, redness, rash, blistering or peeling. Stop using the cream and consult your doctor or pharmacist if you have a severe reaction to it.

          If you want any more information about the possible side effects of Care clotrimazole 1% cream, read the leaflet provided with the medicine. You can find a copy of this here

          If you think you have experienced side-effects you can report them using the yellow card scheme.



          Can I use clotrimazole cream with other medicines?

          Yes – clotrmiazole cream is not absorbed through the skin into the bloodstream in significant amounts and so is not expected to affect other medicines.

          If you are using any other creams, ointments or lotions (including moisturisers or cosmetics) on the same area of skin, you should preferably not apply these at the same time as clotrimazole 1% cream. This is because they could dilute the medicine and make it less effective at treating the infection. Always leave about 30 minutes between applying different products to the same area of skin, to give them time to be absorbed.

          Yeast infections | University of Iowa Hospitals & Clinics

          What is yeast infection?

          Yeast infection is caused by a fungus. Certain types of yeast may be harmless in the mouth, bowels, vagina, and skin. Under certain conditions, an overgrowth of yeast can happen. This may cause itching and burning in the vagina and on the outer parts of the genitals (vulva).

          Yeast is often not sexually transmitted. Male partners often do not need treatment, unless they have symptoms.

          What are signs of yeast?

          Signs can be very mild to severe. Some signs are:

          • Itching and/or burning
          • White, thick, clumpy discharge
          • If an odor is present, it is often not unpleasant
          • Vulvar redness and swelling
          • Discomfort during or after intercourse
          • Pain or burning when urinating

          How is yeast diagnosed?

          Your provider will look for common skin changes of the vulva and vagina.

          A sample of your vaginal discharge can be:

          • Examined by your provider under a microscope
          • Sent for testing to diagnose a yeast infection
          • Sometimes a culture is needed to make the diagnosis

          There are other types of vaginal and vulvar problems that can also cause itching, burning, and discharge. So, you need to see a provider to make a correct diagnosis. They will talk with you about the treatments that will work best for you.

          What causes yeast?

          A healthy vagina has many organisms (bacteria and yeast) that live together in normal balance. If the balance is upset, yeast can overgrow.

          Yeast overgrowth can be caused by:

          Antibiotic use
          • Certain antibiotics kill normal and harmful vaginal bacteria.
          • Even when antibiotics are used for treatment of other illnesses, they may change the bacteria in the vagina. This leads to yeast overgrowth.
          Diabetes
          • Diabetes raises blood sugar levels, making the body a good place for yeast to grow.
          • Yeast infections may happen often and are harder to control when blood sugars are high.
          Warmth and moisture in the vaginal area
          • Yeast thrives when it is warm, humid.
          • Sweating, discharge, or not keeping the area dry (wearing a damp bathing suit or pantyhose for hours) puts you at higher risk of getting a yeast infection.
          Douching
          • This removes healthy secretions and dries the surface of the vagina.
          • Normal bacteria are also washed away. This lets yeast overgrow.
          Immunosuppression

          Yeast infections are more common in people who are immunosuppressed due to:

          • Infection, such as HIV
          • Use of immune-suppressing medicines such as steroids or chemotherapy
          • Organ transplant medicines
          Hormonal contraceptives

          The risk of yeast infections may be higher in women who use contraceptives with estrogen, such as:

          • Birth control pills
          • Patch
          • Vaginal ring

          How are yeast infections treated?

          Many medicines can be used:

          • Most over-the-counter medicines are creams or suppositories. You often use them 1 or 2 times a day for up to 7 days.
          • Your provider may prescribe medicine to take by mouth or topical ointments.

          Signs of yeast often go away within 3 to 4 days after treatment. Be sure to keep using the medicine was prescribed. If it is stopped too soon, the infection can come back.

          Over-the-counter medicines can be found at your pharmacy without a prescription. Our providers suggest using Clotrimazole (Gyne-Lotrimin™ or Mycelex™). They suggest you get the 5- or 7-day treatment. This often works better than the 1- or 3-day treatment.

          Talk with your provider if you are pregnant before using any over-the-counter medicine.

          Remember:

          • Stop using the over-the-counter product and call your provider if you still have symptoms after 7 days.
          • Call your provider if your symptoms come back after using an over-the-counter product.
          • There are many types of vaginal and vulvar problems that may cause the same symptoms. Your provider can best make a correct diagnosis and help you find the best treatment.
          • How well a medicine depends on the type of yeast.
          • Self-treatment with old or borrowed medicines is never good.

          How can yeast infections be prevented?

          You can lower your risk by making a few easy changes in your daily life:

          • Follow the Vulvar Skin Care Guidelines. This will help to keep body tissue healthy to resist infection.
          • Always wipe front to back after bowel movements.
          • Keep your blood sugars under control if you have diabetes.

          Men Get Yeast Infections Too

          Peter Dazeley / Getty Images

          A man’s moist groin area, with its sweat and piss residue and deep crevices, can take on a musty aroma redolent of testosterone-fueled manpower. For many, that smell may be quite pleasant, appealing even (note: pheromones). But sometimes a dick goes from smelling like musky man to hot summer garbage—rotten, like fish sauce meets dirty diaper. That acrid smell could be an indicator of a male yeast infection.

          Yes, men get yeast infections too. And since a man can pass a yeast infection on to his partner, it’s vital that we learn how to identify and treat our own yeast infections. Male yeast infections of the penis are caused by the same critters that cause athlete’s foot and jock itch. Yeast infections—in both men and women—are essentially fungal infections of the skin in warm, moist areas where fungal colonies can thrive.

          Fungal infections of the penis, groin, inner thighs, toes, and even armpits can be transferred from place to place. Here’s a potential journey: Walk barefoot in the gym shower and you can get athlete’s foot, which then thrives in the warm, dark, airtight environment of your favorite sneakers. After taking off your shoes and socks and scratching your feet, the fungus gets on your fingers. Then, if you scratch your balls, it could possibly move to your groin. This is all caused by the same skin fungus.

          According to James Elist, a urologist who specializes in male sexual dysfunction at Cedars Sinai in Los Angeles, this type of autoinfection of fungus hopping from body part to body part is indeed common in men, and is sometimes contingent upon their hygiene habits. Elist also says it is possible for a man to pass his yeast infection on to a female sex partner. In this case, they’d typically share many symptoms: itching, redness, foul smell. A woman may have a vaginal discharge, though, whereas men don’t experience penile discharge with yeast infections (this can make male infections harder to detect). A woman with a yeast infection can pass it to a man, who can then pass it back to her. It’s like an uncomfortable, itchy game of ping pong.

          Approximately 75 percent of women will experience a yeast infection in their lifetime, but the literature on how common penile yeast infections are for men is rather shallow. It is believed 14 to 18 percent of men carry yeast on their penises, much of it unnoticed, untreated, or generally asymptomatic. Elist cites a list of fungal-related knowledge that many women often know, but males don’t. “Risk factors for male yeast infection include taking antibiotics. Diabetics are very prone to yeast infections. You can get yeast infections from steam rooms. When you go swimming, do not sit for a very long time in a wet bathing suit. Fungus thrives in that moist environment,” he says.


          More from Tonic:


          The treatment for male and female yeast infections are essentially the same. Clotrimazole, an over-the-counter drug, is used to treat male and female yeast infections, diaper rash, athlete’s foot, and jock itch. The treatments for male and female yeast infections contain medicines from the same -azole class of drugs, just different formulations based on where it’s being applied. For more persistent infections, the oral drug fluconazole (Diflucan) can also be used by both men and women.

          Elist says that the best way to prevent yeast inflections as a man is to clean your junk thoroughly and routinely. Uncircumcised men should retract their foreskins after urinating and clean it of any moisture or dead skin. Both circumcised and uncircumcised men should always wash their penises in the shower with soap and warm water, with uncircumcised men also cleaning under the hood, he says.

          “Most men get yeast infections because they don’t dry their groins,” Elist says. “Air is the best healer when it comes to yeast infections. Use a hairdryer to dry your groin area if you have to. If you have the privacy, walk around naked after a shower until you are dry.”

          Teaching boys to practice good hygiene from an early age is extremely important, according to Elist. This is even more important for uncircumcised boys, who have a higher rate of penile infections from improper hygiene. While the US is still mostly pro-circumcision, the rate of this contentious practice is on the decline. “Parents should teach their uncircumcised boys to pull back, clean, and dry their foreskins after showering and urinating,” Elist says. “And when they are babies, parents should clean and dry under their boys’ foreskins with a Q-Tip or Kleenex.”

          When men grow up unaware of how to take care of their penises, Elist says this can lead to excruciating urological mishaps. He cites the story of a middle-aged male patient who was unable to urinate. At first, doctors thought he might have a prostate infection. When nurses tried to catheter him to drain his bladder, they couldn’t find his urethra. His foreskin had fully retracted over the head of his penis. Elist recognized this for what it was: a yeast infection gone terribly wrong. The untreated fungal infection under his foreskin became so irritating, that the patient developed balanitis—infection of the foreskin.

          To treat this patient, Elist had to make a small incision along the foreskin to open it up, let the patient urinate, and then they were able to treat the yeast infection. Because the infection had been so bad, Elist had to circumcise the patient weeks later to fully solve the problem. A bit of proactive penile hygiene, along with seeing a doctor earlier could have kept this case from going so far. So men, know that keeping your penis at 100 percent means more than STD screening (while that’s extremely important too, of course). A clean dick is a happy dick.

          by Shadi Haddadin, M.D., CPE  

          Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer death in women and men in 2020. Despite representing 12-13% of new cancer cases in 2020, it is responsible for 22-23% of cancer deaths in the United States. According to American Cancer Society (ACS), the estimated new lung cancer cases in the state of Missouri would be 5,540 with an expected 3,250 deaths in 2020. Most of the new cases are still diagnosed in the late stages.

          Cigarette smoking is the primary cause of lung cancer in North America.

          Despite the increased awareness of the risks of smoking, rates of smoking in Missouri remains higher than the national average with an adult smoking rate (19. 4 percent in 2018) and a high school student rate of smoking of 9.2 percent in 2017.  Other forms of tobacco smoke, including secondhand smoke, are also associated with significant increases in the risk of lung cancer. Exposure to asbestos, radon, and smoke from wood burning are also associated with lung cancer.  It is also important to note that lung cancer is not only a smoker’s disease. There are more non-smokers (never smokers and former smokers) diagnosed with lung cancer each year than current smokers.

          The most important aspects of lung cancer prevention are preventing people from starting to smoke and encouraging those who already smoke to stop. In individuals who do quit smoking, the risk of developing lung cancer gradually declines compared with those who continue to smoke, although not to baseline levels. Adults who stop smoking by the age of 30 benefit the most.

          Studies looking at prevention using supplements such as beta carotene, retinoids, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, vitamin E and Selenium have failed and in some studies had the reverse effect of increasing incidence rates of lung cancer.

          Screening for Lung Cancer

          In a cancer that is highly fatal and with most patients being diagnosed at later and incurable stages of the disease, screening strategies used to identify early lung cancers are of utmost importance.  In 2013, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommended lung cancer screening with a Low Dose CT scan for people who:

          •         Have a history of heavy smoking, and
          •         Smoke now or have quit within the past 15 years, and
          •         Are between the ages of 55 and 80 years old.
          So how does this apply to you and what does it mean to be a heavy smoker?

          For you to qualify, you calculate how many packs of cigarettes per year you’ve smoked by doing these steps:

          A.      Add up how many packs you smoked on average per day
          B.      Add up how many years you smoked

          Multiply A by B. If the number is 30 packs/years or more, then you are considered a heavy smoker and you should contact your primary care provider for screening.

          It is important to note that this only applies to people without symptoms suggestive of lung cancer. If you have any worrisome symptoms such as: a cough that does not go away or a chronic cough that is getting worse, coughing up blood, or chest pain that is often worse with deep breathing or coughing, you should be evaluated by your medical provider immediately.

          COVID-19 and Lung Cancer

          During this past year, as the nation is fighting the Coronavirus pandemic, it became evident the risks associated with this virus come at even greater cost for lung cancer patients given the increased likelihood of severe disease and heightened mortality for lung cancer patients who contract COVID-19. However, what has been discovered, is that being on treatment and especially being on immunotherapy appears to decrease the risks for mortality. This was based on the information provided by TERAVOLT global consortium.

          New Advancement

          The past few years have ushered a number of advancements in the field of personalized treatment of lung cancer—especially advanced stage lung cancers. Today, there are more available non-chemotherapy options than ever before and more available treatment options for patients who were not considered candidates for chemotherapy in the past, such as the elderly and people with multiple co-morbidities.

          The standard approach in 2020 is obtaining a panel of tests to look for targets (also known as mutations) and markers for immune therapy. These tests can be performed on actual samples of a patient’s lung cancer or even obtaining a blood test to look for these targets (also known as liquid biopsies). These targets help refine our approach to therapy, so we are treating a specific cancer and a specific patient.

          Immunotherapy: The “Bacon” of Cancer Therapies

          In lung cancer and in many other cancers, it became evident that harnessing the immune system “using immunotherapy drugs” against cancer improved outcomes. Studies have shown that these drugs when used by themselves or in combination with chemotherapy improve outcomes, just like adding bacon that makes other foods better.

          Today’s outlook for patients with lung cancer has never been better, more advances in the field of personalized medicine, more treatment options, more patients are able to receive treatments and more patients are able to spend more time with their loved ones than ever before.

          Images of Tinea Barbae (Ringworm of Beard)

          Overview

          Tinea infections are commonly called ringworm because some may form a ring-like pattern on affected areas of the body. Beard ringworm (tinea barbae), also known as tinea sycosis or barber’s itch, is a fungal infection of the skin, hair, and hair follicles of the beard and mustache area. Beard ringworm may be passed to other people by direct contact with infected people or animals, with contaminated objects, or from the soil.

          Although beard ringworm is most common in men, it may also affect women who have dark, coarse hair on their faces and necks.

          Who’s at risk?

          Beard ringworm may occur in people of all races. However, it is seen almost exclusively in older teens and adult males.

          Beard ringworm is more commonly seen in warmer, more humid climates. It is most frequently passed to humans from animals, so agricultural workers are the most commonly infected people with beard ringworm.

          Signs and Symptoms

          The most common locations for beard ringworm infection include the following:

          • Chin
          • Cheeks
          • Neck
          • Upper lip

          Beard ringworm may affect either the outer surface (superficial) or the deep portion of the skin that holds shafts of hair (hair follicles). If the infection is superficial, beard ringworm appears as a pink-to-red scaly patch ranging in size from 1 to 5 cm. Alternatively, small pus-filled bumps (pustules) may be seen around hair follicles in the affected skin. In deeper forms of beard ringworm, you may see firm red nodules covered with pustules or scabs that may ooze blood and pus.

          Beard ringworm is usually itchy. Deeper forms of beard ringworm may be accompanied by fever and swollen lymph glands.

          Self-Care Guidelines

          It is extremely difficult to totally get rid of beard ringworm with only topical medications; oral antifungal medications are usually required. However, if the infection has just started, you might try one of the following over-the-counter antifungal creams or lotions:

          • Terbinafine
          • Clotrimazole
          • Miconazole

          Apply the cream to each lesion and to the normal-appearing skin 2 cm beyond the border of the affected skin for at least 2 weeks until the areas are completely clear of lesions. Remember, you will probably not be able to totally get rid of the beard ringworm with topical creams.

          Stop shaving the affected area until you start treatment. If you must shave, use a new disposable razor each time you shave.

          Since people often have tinea infections on more than one body part, examine yourself for other ringworm infections, such as in the groin (tinea cruris), on the feet (tinea pedis, athlete’s foot), and anywhere else on the body (tinea corporis).

          Have any household pets or farm animals evaluated by a veterinarian to make sure they do not have a fungal (ie, dermatophyte) infection. If the veterinarian discovers an infection, be sure to have the animal treated.

          When to Seek Medical Care

          If the lesions do not improve after 1 or 2 weeks of applying over-the-counter antifungal creams, see your doctor for an evaluation. If the affected areas are deep and tender or if you have a fever or swollen lymph glands, see your doctor as soon as possible.

          Treatments Your Physician May Prescribe

          To confirm the diagnosis of beard ringworm, your physician might scrape some surface skin material (scales) or pluck an affected hair and place it onto a glass slide for examination under a microscope. This procedure, called a KOH (potassium hydroxide) preparation, allows the doctor to look for tell-tale signs of fungal infection.

          If you have many pus-filled lesions or if deeper lumps are present, your physician may wish to perform a procedure to grow out the fungus (fungal culture) in order to discover the particular organism that may be causing the infection. The procedure involves:

          1. Penetrating the pus-filled lesion with a needle, scalpel, or lancet.
          2. Rubbing a sterile cotton-tipped applicator across the skin to collect the pus.
          3. Sending the specimen away to a laboratory.

          The fungal culture can take up to 3 weeks to produce final results.

          Since beard ringworm usually requires oral antifungal pills in order to get rid of the infection completely, your physician will likely recommend one of the following oral medications:

          • Terbinafine
          • Itraconazole
          • Griseofulvin
          • Fluconazole
          • Ketoconazole

          Beard ringworm should go away within 4–6 weeks after using effective treatment.

          Best for Men: Lotrimin Ultra Antifungal Jock Itch Cream at Amazon

          “It is resistant to yeast and other fungi, but gentle enough for use in the groin area.”

          Yeast infections are common and most women will experience at least one infection in their lives. They usually do not develop into more serious conditions, but going down with them is not a picnic.

          So it is important to separate the mushroom fact from the fiction. First, both men and women can get yeast infections, and they can occur in many places other than the vagina.

          Most vaginal yeast infections are caused by the common fungus Candida albicans, which commonly lives in your genitals and gastrointestinal tract, says Barbara Frank, obstetrician-gynecologist and medical advisor to Attn: Grace. It is completely normal for this fungus to be present in the body, and it is only when it becomes overactive that it causes problems. People develop symptoms when an overgrowth of an organism, usually Candida, seeps through the surface layers of the skin.

          Symptoms of a yeast infection include severe itching, burning, and redness around the area.Vaginal yeast infections are often accompanied by a thick, white discharge that looks like curd. None of this is enjoyable, so a quick and effective treatment is key. Also, to be clear, yeast infections are not sexually transmitted, and a male partner does not need treatment after intercourse with a woman with an active yeast infection, says Dr. Frank.

          Fortunately, no matter where they occur, symptoms can usually be treated with the same antifungal cream (also known as yeast-killing creams) that is used for vaginal yeast infections.However, if the infection spreads over a wide area or you are one of the few women who often suffer from it, you may need to see your doctor and take prescription drugs.

          If you are looking for OTC relief, here are some of the best yeast infection treatments on the market today.

          Relief does not require long waiting times with Monistat 1-Day fast acting vaginal antifungal (see on Amazon). In addition, NutraBlast boric acid vaginal suppositories (see.On Amazon) receive rave reviews from customers who say they help when other drugs don’t work.

          If you suspect that it is not being treated, you may be immune to an antifungal drug or other problem not related to a yeast infection, such as an STD, bacterial vaginosis, or something else.

          “Self-diagnosis of yeast infections is not the best way,” says Dr. Frank. Your yeast infection should get better after a few days of treatment.If you still feel uncomfortable after completing your treatment, or if your symptoms worsen significantly, you should call your doctor. The good news is that if it’s a yeast infection, the cure rate is over 90 percent.

          If symptoms persist, see your doctor for diagnosis and prescription treatment.

          What to look for when treating a yeast infection

          Dose:

          Dosage instructions are usually clearly printed on cartons or product packaging.However, Dr. Frank notes that you can use the dosage based on the severity of your symptoms. Vaginal treatments can last one, three, or seven days, depending on the severity of your symptoms. says Dr. Frank. Most people tolerate oral treatments much better, with the added benefit of being much cheaper than over-the-counter treatments.

          However, Felice Gersh, MD, obstetrician-gynecologist, founder of the Integrative Medical Group in Irvine, Irvine, California, and author of PCOS SOS Fertility Fast Track, notes that if you don’t see immediate relief (within one to three days) you should see your doctor immediately.Naturally, over-the-counter therapy will not work if the diagnosis is incorrect. Plus, over-the-counter medications won’t work if the yeast is a drug-resistant strain. When that happens, it’s time to switch to alternative therapy – from over-the-counter drugs to oral drugs or vice versa, she says.

          Active Ingredients:

          There are many active ingredients that are considered ineffective in treating yeast infections. “Antifungal drugs are usually effective treatment for a yeast infection,” says Dr. Frank.They usually end in -azole, such as fluconazole (for oral treatment) or miconazole (for topical treatment). She adds that prescription topical medications can also contain steroids, which can help relieve inflammation and related discomfort.

          Dr. Gersh adds, “Medications that only relieve burning and itching symptoms include benzocaine (a numbing agent), resorcinol, and sometimes hydrocortisone (a mild steroid),” she says.There is an over-the-counter local anesthetic cream with five percent benzocaine and two percent resorcinol, so if you’re looking for a quick relief to relieve symptoms, look for a combination of the two.

          In addition, mineral oil is one ingredient that can be soothing, notes Dr. Gersh. Benzocaine, resorcinol, and hydrocortisone are ingredients that soothe symptoms.

          Form:

          This is where yeast infection medications can be confusing.There are so many different treatment options for a yeast infection, including inserts, creams, and oral pills. If you’ve never had a yeast infection before, or are new to these medications, something like a liner may be intimidating. If you experience severe itching or burning, the cream may immediately seem soothing.

          According to Dr. Gersh, vaginal creams, suppositories and oral tablets are the most popular and varied treatments.Comparing vaginal therapy to oral therapy, both work quite well. Unfortunately, there are now resistant strains of yeast that no longer respond to any therapy.

          Although this is rare, men can also get a yeast infection. Dr. Frank says it can happen in the glans penis (more likely if uncircumcised) or in the groin folds, but much less frequently. In this case, there are certain foods for men that can help manage the symptoms of a yeast infection.Look for products advertised for itching, burning, itching, chafing, etc.

          What the experts say

          Treatments for yeast infections can be taken orally or vaginally and are generally equally effective.Vaginal treatments can last one, three, or seven days, depending on the severity of your symptoms. Most people tolerate oral treatments much better, with the added benefit of being much cheaper than over-the-counter treatments.

          HOW TO RECOGNIZE THE RESULTS OF YEAST INFECTION OF THE VAGINAL AND VULVAR AREA.

          Clotrimazole vaginal cream will cure most vaginal yeast (candidiasis) infections. But not all vaginal infections are caused by yeast. If this is your first time experiencing vaginal itching and discomfort, or if you are experiencing external itching of the vulva, it is important to see your doctor to make sure the yeast is the problem.Do not use if you have stomach pain, fever, or foul-smelling vaginal discharge. You may have a more serious medical condition than a fungal infection and you should see your doctor right away.

          The main symptom of a vaginal yeast infection is itching, which can be mild to severe. Itching usually occurs in the folds of the vagina and on the outer skin (vulva) around the vagina. A fungal infection can also cause white vaginal discharge. The discharge can be thick, like a paste, or lumpy, like cottage cheese.Under the discharge, the irritated skin of the vulva may be swollen, cracked, and reddened, or have small, red, painful patches. The vagina may also feel sore or burning, especially during vaginal intercourse.

          If you have one or more of these symptoms, especially a few days before your period, you may have a vaginal yeast infection.

          CLOTRIMAZOLE VAGINAL CREAM CAN KILL YEAST, CAUSING INFECTION.

          To cure a vaginal yeast infection, the yeast cells must be removed. Clotrimazole vaginal cream can kill the yeast that causes vaginal yeast infections and relieve itching and burning.

          HOW TO USE

          WARNING: DO NOT TAKE INTO THE RT OR USE EYES.

          Directions:

          Fill the applicator with cream and then insert one applicator of the cream into the vagina every day, preferably before bed.Dispose of the applicator after use.

          Repeat this procedure with a new applicator for 7 consecutive days. To relieve external itching of the vulva, squeeze a small amount onto your finger and gently apply the cream to the irritated area of ​​the vulva. Use once or twice daily for up to 7 days as needed to relieve itching of the outer vulva.

          CREAM SHOULD NOT BE USED FOR Vulvar itching caused by causes other than yeast infection.

          Important: To completely kill the yeast, CLOTRIMAZOLE VAGINAL CREAM must be used for the full seven days as described above, even if your symptoms go away sooner.

          To load the applicator

          Remove the cap from the tube of cream. Screw the open end of the applicator onto the tube of cream. Gently squeeze the opposite end of the tube while pouring the cream into the applicator barrel. The piston will stop moving outward when the required amount of cream is in the cylinder. When the balloon is full, unscrew the applicator from the tube. Close the cap and roll up the tubing from the bottom after each use.

          To inject the vaginal cream:

          Lie on your back with your knees bent.Insert the open end of the filled applicator into the vagina as deep as it will be comfortable. While holding the applicator with your thumb and middle fingers, push the plunger all the way down. Remove the applicator.

          IMPORTANT: Inject one applicator of CLOTRIMAZOLE vaginal cream every day for a full 7 days.

          CLOTRIMAZOLE VAGINAL CREAM usually begins to relieve itching and other symptoms within 3 days. If you don’t feel better within 3 days, or if you don’t get better within 7 days, you may have a medical condition other than vaginal yeast infection.Stop using the product and consult a doctor. Also, if symptoms persist within 2 months, see your doctor.

          During your period, continue to use the CLOTRIMAZOL vaginal cream. Its action is not affected by menstruation. However, DO NOT USE THE TAMPONS WHILE USING THE MEDICINE: sanitary napkins can be used instead.

          CLOTRIMAZOLE VAGINAL CREAM may reduce the effectiveness of certain birth control methods.It can affect condoms, diaphragms, or vaginal spermicides.

          WHY DID YOU HAVE VAGINAL YEAST INFECTION AND VULVAR IRRITATION?

          The vagina usually contains a mixture of two types of microbes called bacteria and yeast. Under certain conditions, yeast in the vagina can grow too much †, causing vaginal itching, vulvar irritation, and frequent discharge. In some women, conditions that allow the yeast to multiply may include using certain birth control pills, routine hormonal changes, or taking antibiotics.Pregnancy and diabetes are two other important conditions that can lead to vaginal yeast infections. In women with frequent recurrent vaginal yeast infections, especially infections that do not go away easily with proper treatment, vaginal yeast infections can also result from serious illnesses, including infection with HIV (the virus that causes AIDS), which can damage the body’s normal defenses against infections.

          Sometimes hormonal changes are the cause.

          Hormonal changes can make some women susceptible to yeast infections. Some women contract vaginal yeast infections during pregnancy, while taking certain birth control pills, or every month just before their period.

          Antibiotics are sometimes the cause.

          By killing normal bacteria in the vagina, yeast can multiply. This is why women who take antibiotics are more likely to contract vaginal yeast infections.

          Sometimes the cause is damage to the body’s normal defenses against infection.

          Various diseases can interfere with the body’s normal defenses against infections. One of the most serious of these conditions is infection with the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV † the virus that causes AIDS). HIV infection makes the body more susceptible to infections, including vaginal yeast infections. Women with HIV infection can often get vaginal yeast infections or, especially, vaginal yeast infections that do not go away easily with the right treatment.If you may have acquired HIV and are suffering from either recurrent vaginal yeast infections or, especially, vaginal yeast infections that do not go away easily with proper treatment, you should see your doctor right away. If you would like more information about risk factors for HIV infection or the link between recurrent or persistent vaginal yeast infections and HIV infection, please contact your doctor or the CDC National AIDS Hotline at 1-800-342-AIDS. language), 1-800-344-7432 (Spanish) or 1-800-243-7889 (hearing impaired, TDD).

          IF YOU often infected infection Vaginal yeast (they recur within two months) or have VLAGINALNYE infections that do not can easily PROTSEDURATSYA with proper treatment, you should contact your doctor and assistance from medical treatment to test

          Can yeast be sexually transmitted?

          Men usually do not contract or transmit a yeast infection through sexual contact. However, if a woman’s yeast infections recur, she should ask her partner to see a doctor.

          Cotton briefs can help.

          Yeast thrives in warm, humid environments. Since tight-fitting synthetic panties and tights can increase heat and moisture in the vulva area, it is probably best to wear cotton panties if you are prone to vaginal yeast infections and vulvar irritation.

          90,000 YEAST INFECTIONS – Tips – Article Directory

          Most women suffer from itching, burning and pain from time to time
          in the vagina.Yeast infections are caused by many microorganisms,
          some of which inhabit a healthy vagina. Most often
          vaginitis provokes a yeast infection (Candida albicans).

          “Symptoms of yeast infections are itching, cheesy
          discharge that smells like bread, redness of the labia and sometimes
          the inner thighs, “says MD, gynecologist
          Felicia Stewart.

          The onset of yeast infections, especially if attacks
          repeated from time to time, means some kind of disturbance in the body.Thrush fungus is also found in a healthy vagina, but its low
          acidity prevents the intensive reproduction of microorganisms,
          preventing the occurrence of infection. However, various factors cause
          “malfunctions” in the body and the vaginal environment becomes more favorable
          for yeast infections. Itching, burning, pain, and discharge are caused by foods
          vital functions of a rapidly multiplying yeast infection or other
          microorganisms.

          There are many factors that cause acidity disorders in the body:

          • Pregnancy.Hormonal disorders during pregnancy alter
          an indicator of acidity in the vagina, increasing the secretion of carbohydrates
          (glycogen), which microorganisms feed on.

          • Menstruation. For some women, yeast infection outbreaks occur shortly before or just after menstruation.

          • Antibiotics. In a healthy vagina, the yeast infection lives in
          harmony with other microorganisms, especially with lactic bacteria. By
          according to the doctor of medical sciences, obstetrician – gynecologist Saja Greenwood,
          tetracycline, ampicillin and other antibiotics kill milk bacteria
          vagina, which leads to the rapid multiplication of the yeast infection.To that
          however, some antibiotics, especially tetracycline, stimulate reproduction
          yeast microorganisms.

          • Diabetes or consuming too much sugar.
          High blood sugar levels caused by diabetes or consumption
          a large number of sweets, change the indicator of the vaginal
          acidity and provoke the multiplication of yeast microorganisms.
          “Some women drink a lot of fruit juices in order to
          prevent bladder inflammation, ”says Stewart.”But in
          fruit juices contain too much sugar, which stimulates
          development of yeast infections. “• Stress. Doctors are not good
          imagine the relationship between stress and yeast infections, but
          in many women, an exacerbation of thrush occurs precisely during periods
          stress.

          Although yeast infections can be successfully treated at home,
          first you need to make sure that it is she who is the reason
          diseases. Some of the more dangerous microorganisms that require
          medical treatments cause symptoms similar to yeast infections.If the discharge is frothy, yellowish, and has an unpleasant odor, then
          it may be an infection caused by the protozoa of the genus protozoa, called
          Trichomonas. If from the vagina, especially after intercourse, emanate
          abundant discharge that has a specific fishy smell, and at the same time you have
          no itching, it could be “bacterial vaginitis”. Bacterial
          infections are the most common cause of vaginitis. Both of these infections
          can be cured with prescription drugs. Moreover,
          vaginitis symptoms are similar to those of sexually transmitted infections
          diseases like gonorrhea and chlamydia.For the treatment of the disease, it is important
          so that a doctor can diagnose vaginal symptoms.

          Many women suffering from recurrent outbreaks
          yeast infection and those who have already visited a doctor are familiar with the symptoms
          yeast infection. If you are sure that you have yeast
          vaginitis, try the following home remedies:

          Try douching with acetic acid solution. Stewart
          suggests douching at the first sign of a yeast infection
          vagina with vinegar or yoghurt solution.For making vinegar
          solution, stir three tablespoons of white vinegar in a liter of warm
          water. To prepare a yoghurt solution, dilute ordinary
          yogurt with warm water. Boric acid will help. Several studies
          have shown that boric acid is effective, safe and inexpensive
          a remedy for the treatment of a yeast infection. Amanda M.D.
          Clarke suggests inserting boric acid capsules into the vagina.
          “The capsules can be purchased separately,” she says. “Get big
          gelatin capsules and fill them with boric acid.Then for seven
          days, enter one capsule daily. ”

          No studies on the use of boric acid have been carried out on
          pregnant women. Clark advises pregnant women not to use
          boric acid. Consult your doctor about alternative
          methods of treatment.

          Apply antifungal ointment. According to Stewart, when
          miconazole (Monistat) and clotrimazole are effective in treating yeast infections
          (Gin – Lotrimin). Recently, they can be purchased in pharmacies without
          prescription For three days, insert the suppositories at night into the vagina or
          use an antifungal ointment during the day.Don’t stop
          use the medicine until the symptoms disappear completely. Go through
          full course of treatment. If you suffer from recurrent outbreaks
          yeast infection, apply an antifungal ointment a few days before and
          a few days after your period

          Try a lactobacillus treatment. “Some women
          get relief by injecting once or twice a day for two days
          into the vagina of the capsule Latinex (with lactic bacteria) and making
          douches with vinegar solution twice a day, says Greenwood.

          Flush the vagina. According to Clarke, microorganisms that cause
          yeast infection, secrete a secret that irritates the genital tissue
          organs. Nerve endings that respond to the presence of secretions
          located at the very vestibule of the vagina. Despite the fact that the infection
          is also inside the vagina, you can bring simple relief
          flushing the vagina with water or douching solution.

          Avoid moisture. For yeast organisms, warm,
          damp environment where there is little oxygen.To prevent their stormy
          breeding, dry the vagina thoroughly after taking a bath or shower.
          Do not wear tight, tight-fitting clothing that retains warmth and moisture, and
          do not go for a long time in a wet swimsuit.

          Wear loose-fitting cotton underwear that is
          allows the skin to “breathe”, and if you have to wear nylon underwear,
          choose panties with cotton gusset.

          Do not wash your vagina with soap or apply deodorants to the area
          hollow organs. “Soaps and deodorants irritate the vagina and disrupt
          natural balance of microflora, “says Susan Woodruff, coordinator
          parent training programs in hospital newborn care
          News Agency in Gillsboro, Oregon.”Deodorant agents contain
          alcohol, which dries up the tissues of the vagina, and many chemicals,
          irritating “.

          Change your contraceptive. In women who take
          birth control pills or use of birth control sponges,
          the risk of developing a yeast infection is much higher. Although researchers
          have not established the exact relationship between pills and fungus, some
          medical experiments have shown that oral contraceptives increase in
          the vagina is the amount of glycogen (which is food for bacteria).

          Contraceptive sponges can also provoke yeast
          infections. “We don’t know exactly how this happens,” Stewart says.
          “But we know that they disrupt the natural balance of microorganisms.
          in the vagina. “If you suffer from persistent outbreaks of yeast
          infection, change these contraceptives to condoms, cervical
          caps, spiral or other intrauterine devices.

          Both partners must be treated. Sexual partners can
          constantly transmit infection to each other.Often in men for the extreme
          microorganisms accumulate in the flesh, but do not cause symptoms
          diseases. Woodruff advises both partners to be treated so as not to
          reintroduction of the infection occurred.

          Wash and use condoms. For women suffering
          from a yeast infection, you should ask your sexual partners
          wash yourself more often than usual. For couples who make love before
          final cure for infection, you need to use condoms.

          Do not douche regularly.”Americans are too many
          strive for cleanliness, “says Woodruff.” But the vagina does not need
          rinse. It clears itself by itself. Regular douching disrupts
          acidity of the vagina and provoke the occurrence of yeast infections. ”

          Observe hygiene. Since yeast infections are transmitted from
          one partner to another, Woodruff says the infection can
          children, for example, when using a shared bathroom. To
          prevent the spread of infection, Woodruff recommends not swimming and
          do not share towels with children, wash hands often with soap and
          wash clothes in hot water.”The hot water in the washing machine must
          kill the fungus in your clothes, ”says Woodruff.“ But if you
          in doubt, add a cup of white
          vinegar “.

          “Notes”

          Thrush can usually be successfully treated at home, but Saja Greenwood, M.D. advises to see a doctor if:

          • You have severe abdominal pain.

          • You have bloody vaginal discharge between your periods.

          • Despite home remedies, the discharge gets worse or doesn’t go away within two weeks.

          • You suspect that you have acquired a sexually transmitted infection.

          • Attacks of yeast infection recur from time to time.
          This could be a sign of diabetes or a pre-diabetic condition.

          • Vaginal discharge is foamy and gray or greenish-yellow in color.

          Douching

          If you do not have vaginitis symptoms, you do not need to douche. But with
          yeast infection symptoms douching with a mild vinegar solution
          can restore the normal acidity of the vagina (about 4, 5).Yoghurt acidophilic bacteria that restore balance
          microflora in the vagina, disturbed due to illness or ingestion
          antibiotics. Follow these guidelines for successful treatment:

          1. Prepare douching solution as described in the first recommendation.

          2. Make sure the syringe is clean. If not, rinse it thoroughly with an antiseptic.

          3. Lie in the bath, having previously laid a towel under your buttocks, and spread your legs

          4.Hang the Esmarch mug with the solution at a height of 45 – 60 cm from the hips.

          5. Insert the tip into the vagina with gentle rotational movements until it meets resistance (5-10 cm).

          6. Slowly add the solution. Close the labia with your fingers to
          there is a little pressure inside the vagina. This allows the solution
          reach the entire inner surface of the vagina. Effective procedure

          douching takes about ten minutes.

          Danger of douching

          An advertisement for syringes encourages women to “feel fresh”.Some women mistakenly believe that douching after intercourse
          the act prevents pregnancy (in fact, it is not). But new
          studies show that regular douching is not only not
          useful, but can also be harmful,

          “Regular douching increases the risk of inflammation in
          pelvis, “says Felicia Stewart, MD.”
          recommend this to my patients. ”

          Inflammatory phenomena in the small pelvis are infectious processes in
          uterus, fallopian tube and ovaries.It can cause scarring
          fallopian tube and infertility.If an infection enters the system
          circulation, it can be fatal.

          Symptoms of pelvic inflammatory disease include fever, chills,
          lower abdominal pain, back pain, red spots, pain during and
          after intercourse and purulent vaginal discharge. Most
          cases, only some of the above symptoms are observed.

          According to some researchers, regular douching
          increases the risk of not only inflammation in the small pelvis, but also
          risk of uterine cancer A report published in the American
          Epidemiological Journal, shows that women doing
          douching more than once a week, five times more
          cancer of the uterus than women who douche less often.Scientists
          suggest that vaginal discharge and vaginal microflora
          protect the pelvic organs from the penetration of various microbes, including
          number and causing cancer.

          Reasons

          Causes

          A yeast infection is caused by a fungus called candida.A small amount of candida is usually present on the body. All it takes is an overgrowth of candida for a yeast infection to develop. A humid environment is ideal for spreading candida.

          One of the most common causes of penile yeast infection is unprotected intercourse with a woman who has a vaginal yeast infection. You can also develop it without sexual activity. For example, poor hygiene can leave you vulnerable to yeast infections.

          Risk factors

          Risk factors

          Besides sex with a partner who has a yeast infection, several other risk factors can increase your chances of developing a penile yeast infection. Being uncircumcised is a major risk factor, as the area under the foreskin can be a breeding ground for candida. If you don’t bathe regularly or clean your genitals properly, you are also putting yourself at risk.

          Other risk factors include long-term antibiotic use and diabetes or obesity.If you have a compromised immune system due to cancer treatments, HIV, or any other reason, you may also be more at risk of yeast infection.

          Diagnostics

          Diagnostics

          Your doctor will check your genitals and review your symptoms. Some of the white matter that forms on the penis can be examined under a microscope or cultured to confirm the type of fungus causing your symptoms.

          If you cannot see a doctor or urologist, consider going to an emergency center or even an emergency room.The sooner the problem is diagnosed and treatment begins, the more likely you can avoid complications.

          Do not diagnose or initiate treatment yourself. If yeast infection symptoms are present, see your doctor.

          Treatment

          Treatment

          In most cases, topical antifungal ointments and creams are sufficient to clear up the infection. Many antifungal creams recommended for yeast infection include:

          • miconazole (Lotrimin AF, Cruex, Desenex, Ting Antifungal)
          • imidazole (Canesten, Selezen)
          • clotrimazole (Lotrimin AF, Anti-Fungal, Cruex, Desenex, Lotrimin AF Ringworm)

          Most are available as over-the-counter medicines, which means you don’t need a prescription.More serious or long-term infections may require prescription drugs.

          Oral fluconazole (Diflucan) and hydrocortisone cream may be recommended for serious infections such as those that have developed into a potentially serious condition called balanitis.

          Sometimes yeast infections come back after they seem to be cured. If this happens, your doctor will most likely recommend weekly treatment for several months after a couple of weeks of daily treatment.

          Most antifungal creams are well tolerated. You are unlikely to have serious side effects. However, check the label and ask your doctor and pharmacist what to look for if you have a bad reaction.

          If your infection does not respond well to antifungal ointment and you are uncircumcised, circumcision may be recommended. Although this surgical procedure is usually performed on infants, it can be safely performed on a man of any age.

          If balanitis is not treated effectively, scarring of the foreskin may occur and may also cause adhesions on the penis. The condition can be painful and make it difficult to urinate. If left untreated, balanitis can cause swollen and painful glands, as well as weakness and fatigue.

          Yeast infection can enter the bloodstream.This is known as candidemia or invasive candidiasis. It is most common in men who wait for treatment until the infection has spread outside the penis. It is also more common in men with weakened immune systems.

          If you have been in the hospital and used a urination catheter, you are more likely to experience invasive candidiasis. This advanced form of yeast infection is very serious. Oral antifungal medications may be needed for several weeks.In some cases, drugs are given intravenously.

          Prevention

          Prevention

          You can help prevent penile yeast infection by avoiding sexual contact with a partner who has a yeast infection.
