can a yeast infection stop you from having kids?

No.  But you'd better seek medical attention to get it cleared up.  Yeast is natural in the body and only presents a problem when there is an overgrowth of the normal amount.

It's not exactly normal but it is possible.  So, your hormones levels change with your menstruation and that can cause yeast infections.  Some women get vaginal (and/or oral) yeast infections with each period. You should ask your doctor about it.  You could also consider eating yoghurt or taking an Acidophilus Bifidus Cassius suppliment.  Avoid foods containing yeast, too. Also, try not to get stressed as that won't help.  I hope things get sorted out for you.  You can email me if you like, through yahoo, if you need someone talk to.

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.

A yeast infection usually itches and if the child itches it alot it can become swollen and possibly get scratched from a nail.  This is possible.  If it is a yeast infection, make sure you put loose cotton underwear on her and change her underwear often, warm baths with clean wash rags and clean towels.  It is very easy for females to get yeast infections, from dirty used wash cloths, used dirty towels, dirt underwear, and possible scratching with dirty fingers.  try to keep her from itching. Diaper Rash Treatment will not treat a yeast infection. A yeast infection is enternal.  If she is not itching and just burning it might be something else, but you should seriously consider taking her to her pediatrician to get her examined and get the proper care.  If not treated it can become extremely uncomfortable.

thrush is a yeast infection and yes men can get them but they are internal usually. if you are having oral sex this could cause it. the test for a man is a long qtip you know where. I'd advise talking with him and  the Dr.  the meds won't hurt him if he doesn't have one but it may help you.

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.

I understand what you are going through - I also fight yeast infections constantly and used to get about one a month, right around my period.  My doctor tested me for hyperglycemia and diabetes - increased blood sugar can feed yeast infections (as can any sugar).  I would have your doctor do that for you.\n\nIn my case, I am not diabetic - just yeast infection prone.  Lots of things can trigger them - sex, certain types of condom, too much sugar in my diet, messing up my birth control pills, and more.  I control it by being careful about all those things, and also by 1-2 yogurts a day (make sure it has live active cultures) and taking acidophilus, an OTC vitamin similar to yogurt.  (And the occasional Monistat - I'm down to one about 1 every six months.  Another tip - use the 7 day - it's more of a pain but MUCH more effective and cheaper)\n\nAlso - do you take a lot of antacids?  Stomach acid helps control yeast - and atacids eliminate stomach acid.  I have stomach problems and have to be careful how many antacids I take, or yeast will flare up.\n\nIt is very important you confirm with a doctor that you are suffering from yeast infections, and not another medical problem/STD/etc.\n\nGood luck!

Vaginal yeast infections commonly occur during pregnancy, probably related to the high estrogen levels. Consistently high estrogen is the most likely reason that treatment takes longer to cure a yeast infection during pregnancy.\n\nThe Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that only vaginal medications, such as cream or vaginal suppositories, be used for yeast infection treatment during pregnancy. Treatment takes longer than usual during pregnancy; 7 days of medication is recommended.\nIf you are pregnant, do not use these nonprescription medications without first discussing your condition with your health professional.\n\nDiflucan is NOT safe to take during pregnancy.

The vaginal area has a balance of yeast and bacteria and a normal range of PH and if this gets thrown off track with too much you can get either Yeast Infections or Bacterial Vaginosis.  \n\nSome things that can cause a yeast infection are antibiotics, too much sugar in your diet, douching (DOUCHING is terrible for women - please don't do it!), sexual intercourse that does not have enough lubrication, wearing non-cotton panties or panties that are on for more than one day (eww!) etc...\n\nPlease eat your yogurt, take acidophulous pills and triple garlic pills - Garlic and Yeast don't get along in my experience.  \n\nRemember that if you are getting them constantly it could be 'hormones' from onset of puberty or menopause, diabetes or even HIV/AIDS.  Get an over the counter cream, if you are sure you have one, and if you can't get 'rid of it', see a doctor for other possible causes/treatment.

"Vulvovaginal Candidiasis, caused by the overgrowth of the fungus Candida, affects nearly 75% of all women at least once their lives. \n\nCandida is a relatively harmless yeast, normally found in the mouth, throat, intestines and genitourinary tract of most humans. In the yeast state, Candida is simply a non-invasive, sugar-fermenting organism, whose purpose is to destroy harmful gut flora (bacteria). In a normal environment, Candida is controlled by a properly functioning immune system and helpful "friendly" gut flora like Lactobacillus acidophilus, Bifidobacterium bifidum and Bacillus laterosporus, all of which suppress undesirable bacteria and yeasts and help maintain a balanced, healthy immune system. \n\nWhen the balance between the normal microorganisms of the vagina are disrupted, however, Vulvovaginal Candidiasis can result.\n\nCommonly referred to simply as a vaginal yeast infection, vulvovaginal Candidiasis disorder occurs when the acidity of the vagina changes. This may be due to hormone imbalance, in conjunction with other illnesses (such as Diabetes), in those who are immunosuppressed (such with AIDS or HIV), in those who use oral contraceptives, and commonly, with antibiotic use (particularly tetracycline)[.1, 2] Pregnancy, prolonged use of steroid hormones, acid blockers and ulcer medications, immunosuppressants or anti-inflammatory drugs, excessive stress, and improper diet can also contribute to Vulvovaginal Candidiasis.[3] \n\nVulvovaginal Candidiasis is not a sexually transmitted disease, nor is it an airborne infection. It can, however, be transmitted from one partner to another through intercourse, deep kissing or oral sex.[4] Fortunately, if the other person is healthy, his or her immune system will destroy the cells and prevent infection. Still, an estimated 12%-15% of men develop symptoms such as itching and rash following sexual contact with an infected partner.[5] It is also possible for breastfeeding mothers to transmit the infection to their infants. \n\nThe National Institutes of Health[6] lists the following as the most common symptoms of Vulvovaginal Candidiasis: \n\nAbnormal vaginal discharge (ranging from a slightly watery, white discharge to a thick, white, chunky discharge) \nVaginal and labial itching or burning \nRedness and/or inflammation of the vulva \nPain with intercourse \nPainful urination \n\nDiagnosis is made through visual examination, symptom review and in some cases, laboratory tests. Once identified, Candida can be successfully treated through several measures. Remedies include the determination and elimination of any causative factors, application of antifungal medications, lifestyle changes (such as quitting smoking and reducing or avoiding alcohol consumption), removing (or reducing) pollution and toxins in your environment, and strengthening your immune system through the combined application of a healthy lifestyle plus proper nutrition and probiotic supplements. \n\nBefore undergoing any treatment – conventional or otherwise – be sure you are dealing with a true vaginal yeast infection. Self-treating a suspected vaginal yeast condition may delay diagnosis and effective treatment of a similar vaginal infection that will not respond to yeast treatments. In fact, one study by the American Social Health Association found that 70% of women self-treated vaginal infections before calling a health care provider. Most often, they incorrectly thought they had a yeast infection when, in fact, it was bacterial vaginosis.[7] \n\nCommon treatments include antifungal medicines in the form of tablets, creams, ointments or suppositories, including [8]: \n\nFemstat: an antifungal type of antibiotic applied as a vaginal cream. Femstat is available as a 1-day or 3-day treatment. See http://www.drugdigest.org for details. \n\nClotrimazole: Clotrimazole comes as a lozenge, topical cream or solution formula, as well as in over-the-counter vaginal creams and tablet forms. See h

It's about time for you to schedule an appointment with your GYN. Do you go in for routine check ups? If not, you should. A routine pelvic/PAP smear is early detection for many health issues concerning women. Given that you are a virgin, does not prevent you from getting a yeast infection. Oral antibiotics can cause yeast over growth/infection, as well as diabetes. Make an appointment, get yourself checked out, for your peace of mind. \nBest Regards

100% untrue.  While exposure to a male yeast infection can be a cause for women, yeast infections can also be caused by pregnancy (higher estrogen levels), taking antibiotics, diabetes, excess exposure to moisture (wearing a wet bathing suit too long), or several other factors.

yes,  The infection is caused by a type of yeast or fungus called Candida this yeast lives in your mouth,vagina, and rectum all the time, but it sometimes gets out of control and causes an infection. You need to go to a doctor to get medicine to correct the condition.

Women can get a vaginal discharge when on antibiotics, yes.\nIt can cause a yeast infection because the antibiotics you are taking can kill good bacteria within the vagina causing a disharge and irritation.

If you've had unprotected sex, it could be herpes (if the other person was infected). Otherwise, it could be a yeast infection. You should see your doctor for treatment.
