Vaginal and Oral Yeast Infection
A Candida Infection can affect both sexes, young or old. Acquiring it only from sexual contact is a myth. The key in identifying the symptoms of a Candida yeast infection is knowing that it can happen to different parts of the body.
The vaginal yeast infection if the most common type of Candida infection in females. This takes place when growth of yeast in the vagina goes out of control. It could be triggered after being on antibiotic and/ or steroids, or have had sex. Additionally, pregnancy and birth control infection could be culprit, as well. A vaginal yeast infection occurs more frequently once menopause is reached.
The major symptoms of Candida in the vagina are burning sensation, itching and discharges. The discharge is describes as white in color and cheese-like. This discharge may cause the vagina to itch and pain during sex and urination is common.
Oral yeast infection is also common. The most common cause is said to be antibiotics, birth control pills or anti-inflammatory pharmaceuticals. You have higher chances to get Thrush, if you smoke, wear dentures that don’t fit well and if you are breastfeeding.
One symptom that comes with a thrush infection is white creamy cuts that are raised slightly and are located in the mouth area. Such cuts typically sting and could be extremely painful when scratched. More to these, you could have problems with swallowing and may experience a fever when the infection has spread to the throat.

Answer by sokokl
Discharge for a yeast infection is usually clumpy like cottage cheese. Some women also will notice itching and redness.
Because you have had it for a while and aren’t noticing any other symptoms it does sound like your period could be coming soon.
I know you are embarrassed to tell your mom about this but she really needs to know about this so that she can help you keep an eye on the situation.

Last time I had a yeast infection, I got a horrible rash all around the tops of my thighs and around my underwear line. It lasted a few weeks, but after I started using medicated cream it went away in about 5-6 days.

Answer by pussavecboots
I don’t know what the powder is you’re referring to–if you THINK you have a yeast infection but aren’t sure, please see a doctor to find out, as other infections can have similar symptoms. It is usually a cream or a pill that is prescribed to treat it. Also, OTC creams can work, and there are detailed instructions with the packaging. I don’t know about the powder as being something that would actually treat this.

What’s the connection between poor stomach flora and vaginal infections like candida? ?
Question by chewawa!: What’s the connection between poor stomach flora and vaginal infections like candida? ?
I’ve been told u can’t even eat fruit while treating vaginal candida.what’s the connection?
Best answer:
Answer by Martina T
Some foods, especially acidic foods, interfere with the absorption of oral medications. Grapefruit especially alters the uptake of many drugs. If you’re not taking oral meds though the only thing I can think of is that they would like you to have a lower glucose level to help get rid of the candida (it feeds on glucose in the vag secretions). I wouldn’t worry about it too much; however, eating yogurt with live cultures will help repopulate your gut with beneficial bacteria. Gross as it may sound, a little PLAIN yogurt with live cultures applied directly to the area in question (possibly at bedtime, then showered off in the morning) will help to get your vaginal flora back in balance as well.
