Is there a yeast connection with women's health? What we commonly call
a yeast infection is also known as monilia vaginitis, candida
infection or fungus infection. Usually women contract a yeast
infection but they can occur in men, and can be very uncomfortable.
A cheesy, white discharge in the area of the vagina in women can be a
sign of a yeast infection. A health care professional can examine a
woman and identify if a fungus is present. A health care professional
will be able to advise a drug for treatment. Treatment is available
without a prescription. Some of the medicines for yeast infection
treatment can be applied over the woman's affected skin. This can
soothe the area and also help kill any infection that might be
developing in this area of her skin.
Some women do have constant fungus infections. They will recur because
she may be predisposed to the development of fungus infections.
Pregnant women sometimes have yeast infections that return soon after
they have completed treatment. Those who have a depressed immunity
because being on immunosuppressive agents, such as a recipient of an
organ transplant, can have problems getting rid of a yeast infection.
Also, women who have undergone treatment with antibiotics sometimes
develop a yeast infection. Diabetics, debilitated women may also have
trouble getting rid of a yeast infection. In these cases there is a
definite yeast connection with the women's health. Some due to
treatment they have undergone or due to depressed immunity....
