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!
