3 Most Common Questions on Candida Yeast Infection
Candida yeast infection is a very common disease and more and
more people worry they may be suffering from it. Therefore there
are a few questions people are asking them most often.
The first most common question is: do I have a Candida yeast
infection?
Well, the answer to this question can be found in the symptoms
which are characteristic for this disease. The most common
symptoms are itching and the feeling of irritation in the
vaginal area; redness or swelling of the vulva; a white, thick,
unpleasant discharge which looks similar to cottage cheese and
which has no scent, although sometimes it could smell like
yeast; the feeling of burning whenever urinating or having sex.
These are the most common symptoms for Candida yeast infection.
But these symptoms are also similar to other vaginal infections
or sexually transmitted diseases. Therefore you should always
consult a doctor or a gynaecologist whenever having these
symptoms. The doctor will give you the right Candida treatment,
if it is necessary in your case.
The second most common question is: are men immune to yeast
infections? Well, men don't really get these vaginal yeast
infections. Because they don't have a vagina! But there is an
infection similar to Candida yeast infection at women. This
infection is called balanitis and its symptoms are similar to
Candida yeast infection's symptoms. This balanitis is an
infection of the head of the penis and it is caused by the same
overgrowth of the same Candida fungi. Men who are suffering from
diabetes are also more exposed to this type of infection. Men
can also have a discharge or red and itchy areas like women
have.
Men who don't have a circumcision
must pay more attention to
their hygiene in the genital area, focusing on the foreskin. The
reason for this is the fact that the folds of the foreskin
represent the perfect warm, moist environment for Candida fungi
to multiply. Therefore, the foreskin area needs extra care for
keeping it clean and dry.
And the third most asked question is: can anyone prevent getting
a Candida yeast infection?
And the answer will be yes, definitely. The outfits you wear can
prevent or cause a Candida yeast infection. Therefore you should
avoid wearing nylon underwear, pantyhose, tight jeans, and tight
exercise gear, wet bathing suits which are retaining moisture in
the area as Candida fungi love this warm and moist environment.
If you can't avoid wearing these outfits, at least try to wear
them for as little time as possible.
You should also pay attention to dyes or perfumes in shower
gels, soaps or sanitary products as they may cause you
irritation to the genital area. If you feel this kind of
irritation happening, stop using the product and try switching
to a perfume-free one.
Also keep your vagina clean and dry. Give up on nylon underwear
and use the healthier cotton one. Avoid wearing too tight jeans
or pantyhose. And don't take antibiotics unless the doctor has
prescribed them especially to you.
Try to follow these few rules and you will never have to worry
about getting a Candida yeast infection!
