  • Where Does Yeast Infection Happen  By : Sarah Lomas
    The human body is covered with yeast. This, however, does not cause an infection in most cases as the skin is an excellent barrier against yeast infections. However, in certain cases yeast infections do occur. This can happen when there are nicks, cuts, or abrasions. This is especially so if the cut is in an area that is moist or damp and warm. Yeast survives an multiplies well in these conditions. Few common candida yeast infections are diaper rash infections, nailbed infections, vaginal yeast infections etc. If yeast infections recur, then the patient has to be evaluated for underlying causes such as AIDS or diabetes. So, please tell your doctor if the yeast infection has recurred as this might be a hint toward AIDS

    Not only the lack of cleanliness, but there are other factors as well that contribute to the yeast infection. They are pregnancy, menstruation, sperm, or the use of antibiotics and steroids. Another reason for yeast infection is a weak immunity or cancer treatment. IV ports also pose a threat to the body by supporting the yeast infection. Systemic infection causes the yeast to enter the blood stream. This chould be checked immediately.

    Yeast infection manifests itself as a white cheesy discharge in the case of vaginal infections. There can also be itching and irritation. In thrush thick, white, lacy patches on top of a red base can form on the tongue or elsewhere in the mouth. This makes it painful to eat and care should be taken to ensure that the patient does not become dehydrated.

    Over the counter yeast infection medication can treat almost all the yeast infections. however, in case you experience abdominal pain, fever, chills, nausea or vomiting, you should report to the doctor as this might hint towards systemic infection. If thrust is taking a longer time to cure that you need more aggressive yeast infection treatments and medical care.

    For serious systemic infections IV antibiotics are given. However, for most infections treatment at home is sufficient. Women with vaginal infections can massage the creams on the infected area. Pregnant women should consult a doctor before taking this form of medication. For thrush in babies mouths, the breast of the mother too needs to be evaluated for candida infection. There are medications for this as well. For adults developing thrush there are a wider variety of medicines available.

    Diaper rashes can be treated with the help of barrier cream and changing them frequently. This goes along with the medication.

    Yeast inhfections can be treated by a number of cures. Creams, lotions, pills, troches (lozenges), and vaginal suppositories are some of the examples. The doctor would be the only person who would be telling you the exact condition and the treatment to cure it.

    Of the many yeast infection cures and yeast infection medication available, most can be classified into either of two types. These are the azole medications -- a group of antifungal drugs that end in the suffix "-azole." They prevent the manufacture of ergosterol, a critical material of the yeast cell wall. Without ergosterol, the yeast cell wall will leak and the yeast dies. As ergosterol is not a part of human membranes, azoles do not harm human cells. Polyene antifungals include nystatin and amphotericin B. Nystatin is used for thrush and other superficial candidal infections. Doctors keep amphotericin B for more serious systemic fungal infections. These antifungals function by attaching themselves to the building material of the yeast cell wall, that is, ergosterol. These medications then form synthetic holes in the yeast-wall causing the yeast to leak and die.

    If the person does not have a weak immune system, it takes a week or two for the infection to disappear. If he has a weak immune system, the infection might recur.

    In all cases prevention is better than cure. Keeping your body, especially areas near cuts and abrasions clean and dry will prevent yeast infections. People with AIDS or diabetes or those such as cancer patients whose medications have destroyed their immune systems should be particularly careful as they are more liable to become infected.

    Hydration is what you should take care of when the patient experiences a thrush. This is even more recommended in the case of babies and weak patients which are more susceptible to dehydration.
