Suffering From A Yeast Infection?
A yeast infection is caused by an increase in the fungi that are already in our body.
A yeast infection can happen to women, men and children and is uncomfortable to all, it does not distinguish between them.
The fungi that cause yeast infections thrive in moist, warm places in our bodies. The most common of which being the underarms.
When conditions are right, the density of fungi surges and we get a yeast infection.
Usual types of yeast infections include, vaginal yeast infections, nailbed infections, thrush and diaper rash infections.
In addition, yeast infections may occur in the mouth, under the breasts and abdomen and other areas where there are skin folds.
Constant sweating and moisture can increase the chances of a yeast infection.
Common Symptoms of A Yeast Infection
The classic symptom is an over all itchy feeling in the affected area.
Sometimes, especially in diaper or nappy areas, a red thin rash may occur and cause the child severe pain and discomfort.
When a yeast infection occurs in your nailbed or the webs between your toes and fingers, it presents itself as soft red skin that is a bit swollen and for which you will have a constant urge to scratch.
Thrush can manifest itself with a whitish patch on top a red area in the mouth.
Do not try to wipe the white areas away as it may bleed. An oral infection of this kind can make eating and drinking difficult.
In vaginal yeast infections, some women will experience a discharge that ranges from thick and whitish to thin and watery.
Sometimes this is accompanied by an odour and eventually if left untreated, the yeast infection will lead to pain when urinating and also during intercourse.
