Answer by Emily Dew

Absolutely! Antibiotics wipe out the bad bacteria in your body along with the good bacteria and that leaves you open to a secondary infection. I always make sure I eat a container of yogurt every day when I’m taking antibiotics or else I will develop a yeast infection too.

Can you have a yeast infection without the burning and itchiness?

Question by : Can you have a yeast infection without the burning and itchiness?
I just noticed a couple days ago I had an odor down there and the discharge (white/yellowish). I don’t have the burning and itchiness sensation. I don’t know if a yeast infection because I’ve haven’t experience one before. Any help is appreciated before I call the doctor. I’d call right now and make myself an appointment but closed at the moment. Thank you.

Answer by Beery
Women can, but in men (judging by your profile, you appear to be a man), yeast infections don’t involve odor or discharge. Instead they only involve itching and what at first appears to be a rash of whitish spots on the glans or inner foreskin, which can turn into a dark reddish discoloration if left untreated.

If you’re getting discharge, I would say this would have to be some kind of urinary tract or bladder issue. You should definitely see a doctor.

Can a yeast infection affect your labia minora?

Question by : Can a yeast infection affect your labia minora?
I noticed that after I had a long 2 month yeast infection my labia minora became a brownish color and before it had been pinkish is this due to the yeast infection? If so will it ever go back to pink once the infection is fully cured?

Best answer:

Answer by KIM!!
That’s probably just the natural color of it. If you’re in your teen years you’re still maturing down there. It isn’t exactly abnormal for it to be brown. If you feel uncomfortable just Google pictures of it and you’ll see that everyone is different. Lol. If you still have a yeast infection you should see your gyne.

What are the sympotoms of a yeast infection in a 3 year old?

Question by S D: What are the sympotoms of a yeast infection in a 3 year old?
We just returned from the doctor, and I took my 3 year old daughter because she has a frequent urge to urinate. I assumed he would say a urinary tract infection, but he said it is the start of a yeast infection. Can that cause frequent urination?

Best answer:

Answer by Jill&Justin
Yes, they can’t distinguish the burny itchy feeling from the uh oh I gotta potty feeling. Too long in a wet bathing suit or a reaction to a bubblebath can cause it in a young girl.

How do i get rid of a yeast infection when pregnant?

Question by cc mae: How do i get rid of a yeast infection when pregnant?
I am 9 weeks pregnant and i have a yeast infection! I don’t have health insurance yet; We’re still waiting for the paper work. How can i take care of this without putting my baby in any danger?

Best answer:

Answer by wickedchick353
You should go to the doctor and get a prescription. I had one too at about the same time and its the safest option. You’ll just have to pay for the appointment and meds out of pocket. Ask your doc if they will give you a discount since your self pay. And the Meds should be generic and not too pricey.

Can I Get Rid of Yeast without the Candida Diet?

Question by RedDevyl: Can I Get Rid of Yeast without the Candida Diet?
My doc suspected I had systemic yeast in my stomach whein I went to her complaining of chronich sinus infection & post nasal drip. I tried the diet for this past month and it works. I just don’ want to have to do this forever. The only supplements I’ve been taking are grapefruit seed extract & acidophilus. They’re supposed to get rid of the yeast as well. But are there any other supplements I can take to get rid of the yeast? I’ve heard of Candex & ThreeLac. Does anything else work? Or do I have to stay on the diet for ever?

Best answer:

Answer by Observer
A different way to take your acidophilus is by having 3 serves of fat free plain yoghurt a day, this works well. Some good results have been obtained from using a good quality colloidal silver. Good Luck.

Question by : How to get rid of breast yeast infection?
I am suffering from breast yeast infection for many years. Tried a lot of various treatments but very little of them used to help and they didn’t help that much. I would appreciate an advice of some good solution or method on the internet to get rid of my breast yeast infection. I’ll appreciate any advice. Thank you.

Answer by Natalie
Have you tried Nystatin powder? If there is a lot of redness you could also get your doc to write you a script for triaminocinolone/nystatin cream. It is a steroid and anti fungal together. Good Luck!!!
