"Systemic candidiasis is candidal infection throughout the body. This condition is rare. In systemic candidal disease, up to 75% of people may die. Even common mouth and vaginal yeast infections can cause critical illness and can be more resistant to normal treatment. This rash can manifest with bruises that can be felt. The bruises result from a reaction and response to Candida in blood vessels. Systemic yeast infections that return may be a sign of more serious diseases such as diabetes, leukemia, or AIDS."

I am not sure about the anus, but I do know that a yeast infection is found is almost every part of our body, you can get it in the mouth(oral thrush) on the feet(althlets feet) in the vagina(typical yeast infection) In the penis (penile yeast infection) and children often get yeast infection rashes, often treated with lotromin, f you have what you think to be an anal yeast infection, use lotromin, or polian sugar free yogurt apply it to the area 2x a day for 4 days if no improvemnt I would avise you to seek a doctors opinion

I've heard cranberry juice can actually help prevent yeast infections, but is actually used to help cure urinary infections.  My doctor told me that eating yogurt can help a yeast infection, but doesn't always cure it.  I guess it's worth a shot to try it though.  Someone also told me once that hydrogen peroxide will kill yeast and help flush it out of your body, but I never tried it as you aren't supposed to doushe while you have an infection as it could make it worse.  I'd try the yogurt but in the end, you may end up spending as much on yogurt as you would a $15 or less tube of cream to cure the problem.

Antibiotics can cause you to have a yeast infection because they kill both "good" and "bad. You can call your doctor and get pills to take. Or get a kit to use for a week almost anywhere.

Possibly, I had a yeast infection and it went away by itself, I was in college and too poor to spend the moolah on the cream.  \nI think u were diagnosed wrong, YOU did not have CHLAMYDIA!!\nChlamydia will not go away by itself. There is a cure, and chlamydia is easy to treat. Certain antibiotics are used to kill chlamydia bacteria. Both sex partners must be treated at the same time to prevent re-infection.\n\nIf left untreated, chlamydia can cause sterility in women and men. Chlamydia is the most common and most invisible sexually transmitted bacterial infection in the U.S. Chlamydia is spread through vaginal and anal sex, from the birth canal to the fetus, and rarely from the hand to the eye or through oral sex.\n\nHope this information helps!

There is not necessarily always going to be discharge with yeast infections, and women are prone to them around their menstrual period.  It is also possible if you take in too much sugar that you could have developed a yeast infection, see your physician.

The yeast organisms are present in different parts of your body. Even babies can get an overgrowth of those organisms and get an infection, for instance thrush.\nAs you approach puberty and your period your hormones change and you might well have your first vaginal yeast infection.\nI assume that this is the first time you've thought you've had a yeast infection, so please go see a doctor to make sure that's what it is. Sometimes bacterial infections act just like yeast infections in the beginning but won't clear up with over-the-counter treatments. It takes antibiotics to fix those.

Yeast is part of the normal flora of the vagina.  For various reasons, it can colonize and overgrow and cause a whitish, odorless, cottage cheese-like discharge.  Some of the reasons for overgrowth are, sitting around in a wet bathing suit after going in a hot tub, high consumption of sugar or sugar laden drinks, and wearing underwear made of nylon or non-breathable fabrics.  It can also be precipitous of a pre-diabetic or diabetic condition if you seem to get one after another.

some yeasts can be part of the normal flora.\n\nbeing part of the normal flora doesn't disqualify something as a pathogen, however.\n\nsome times it just takes a change in the population of the normal flora for a normally harmless resident to cause a lot of trouble.

YES! Pancreantitis can be fatal.  You should get her to an internist asap for a second opinion on the medication.  If it is chronic or severe she should be in the hospital for treatment.  Best wishes for her recovery.

Well if you are already showing signs and symptoms, than of course the doctors can tell!  As for a yeast infection -possibly but they always say it is something else if your discharge is discolored and if there is a foul smell.  A yeast infection discharge tends to look like cottage cheese and has no odor.  Many STD's or infection can be cured with antibiotics, but some cannot.  Get checked ASAP!  I've never had that happen personally but I had an allergic reaction to some spermicide once it scared me half to death -so go get checked out!  You won't quit freaking out until you do!

Yeast organisms are always present in all people, but are usually prevented from "overgrowth" (uncontrolled multiplication resulting in symptoms) by naturally occurring microorganisms.\nCandidiasis is alleged to be successfully treated either with home remedies or, in the case of a more severe infection, with either over the counter or prescription antifungal medications. Home remedies for candidiasis include the consumption or direct application of yogurt, which contains lactobacillus (probiotics, "friendly" bacteria that kill yeast), acidophilus tablets or salves, and even lightly crushed cloves of garlic, which yield allicin, an antifungal. Boric acid has also been used to treat yeast infections. \n indicated, an underlying reason should be looked for. As an example, oral candidiasis is often linked to the use of inhaled steroids in asthma medication. Patients on long term inhaled steroids should rinse their mouth after each dose of steroids. It can also be the first sign of a more serious condition, such as HIV.

you are all freaking idiots. The fungus is amongus. yeast infections are so common that they advertise cures on tv constantly for women. Do you think they would do that if there wasn't a ton of people getting it. Many women who have NO SEXUAL CONTACT get yeast infections. Men get yeast infections all the time. IT IS CALLED jock itch. Yes men and women can transmit it to each other. Another name for yeast infections. Honeymooner's disease. Many times people that are having frequent sexual activity with each other get yeast infections. Having anal intercourse and then vaginal intercourse can cause it. Yeast is common in the intestines and bowels. Women if they have been taught by Mothers and not by wolves learn to wipe front to back. Wipe back to front and guess what Yeast infection??\n\nAny women that get a yest infection and accuses her boyfriend of cheating is an idiot.

You need to see an ear specialist. An Otolaryngologists will diagnose and treat. Regular doctors don't really treat this problem. Yeast infections are common in women. If you are on antibiotics you will have a higher chance of getting a yeast infection. That also should be treated by a doctor. Not all over the counter products cure this.

Your body uses bacteria to process food, if you don't have the correct balance of bacteria in your body (from taking antibiotics) you can get diarrhea and other problems.  Also the natural yeast population increases without the bacteria to balance it and you are more prone to yeast infections.  Your body is a finely balanced organism, tipping the scale one way or the other is never a good idea.  Of course give it some time and rest and it can recover marvelously.
