i have been diagnosed with yeast infection 1mnth ago is this a kind of STD?
Question:
Answers:
the yeast infection is just from being moist. Its kinda like a diaper rash. I know that sounds odd but its true. It is not a kind of STD so you are good there. As for seeing it through a test I don't think so. But don't worry you didn't get it from anyone and you can not give to anyone.
Other Answers:
It's just an infection. Your doctor should have given you something to get rid of it. No I don't think it will come up in a blood or urine test. It would jsut be painful to pee.
hahaha...No, it's not a STD.
no
yes
yeast is a natural thing in your woo woo. if you wear tight pants or dont clean properly it multiplies and you get symptoms that need medicine. not a big deal but it sounds pretty icky. not an std at all.
No. You can get a yeast infection just from taking antibiotics, among other things.
Locations
In immunocompetent people, candidiasis can usually only be found in exposed and moist parts of the body, such as:
* the oral cavity (oral thrush)
* the vagina (vaginal candidiasis or thrush)
* folds of skin in the diaper area (diaper rash)
Candidiasis is the second most common cause of vaginal irritation or vaginitis, and can also occur on the male genitals, particularly in uncircumcised men.
In immunocompromised patients, the Candida infection can involve the esophagus and can become systemic, causing a much more serious condition, fungemia.
Children mostly in the age range, 3 years to 9 years can be affected by chronic mouth yeast infections. This is not a very common situation though. It is normally seen around the mouth as white patches.
Causes
Yeast organisms are always present in all people, but are usually prevented from "overgrowth" (uncontrolled multiplication resulting in symptoms) by naturally occurring microorganisms.
At least three quarters of all women will experience candidiasis at some point in their lives. The Candida albicans organism is found in the vaginas of almost all women and normally causes no problems. However, when it gets out of balance with the other "normal flora," such as lactobacilli (which can also be harmed by using douches), an overgrowth and symptoms can result. Pregnancy, the use of oral contraceptives and some antibiotics, and diabetes mellitus can lead to an increased incidence in yeast infections.
Symptoms
Symptoms include severe itching, burning, and soreness, and irritation of the vagina and/or vulva, and a whitish or whitish-gray discharge that may have a "yeasty" smell like beer or baking bread, known as a garria. It may resemble cottage cheese.
Many women mistake the symptoms of the more common bacterial vaginosis for a yeast infection. In a 2002 study published in the Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, only 33 percent of women who were self treating for a yeast infection actually had a yeast infection. Instead they had either bacterial vaginosis or a mixed-type infection. Currently, bacterial vaginosis can only be diagnosed by a doctor.
Diagnosis
KOH (potassium hydroxide) preparation can be diagnostic. A scraping or swab of the affected area is placed on a microscope slide. A single drop of 10% solution of KOH is then placed on the slide. The KOH dissolves the skin cells but leaves the Candida untouched. When viewed under a microscope the hyphae and pseudo spores of Candida are visible. Their presence in large numbers strongly suggest a yeast infection.
Swab and culture is performed by rubbing a sterile swab on the infected skin surface. The swab is then rubbed across a culture medium. The medium is incubated for several days, during which time colonies of yeast and/or bacteria develop. The characteristics of the colonies provide a presumptive diagnosis of the organism.
Treatment
Candidiasis 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 when gelcaps are filled with boric acid powder and two are inserted at bedtime for three to four nights. Another remedy is to douche with a weak mix of bicarbonate of soda in water (1 teaspoon to 1 cup). Bi-carb soda is alkaline and changes the vagina's acidity temporarily to a higher pH environment in which Candida cannot survive as Candida thrives in an acid environment.
While home remedies can offer relief in minor cases of infection, seeking medical attention can be necessary because the extent of the infection sometimes cannot be judged well by the sufferer. Prescription medication is often the only solution to an infection; the antifungal drugs commonly used to treat candidiasis are topical clotrimazole, topical nystatin, fluconazole, topical ketoconazole. In severe infections (generally in hospitalized patients), amphotericin B, caspofungin, or voriconazole may be used. These medications are not effective against the more common bacterial vaginosis.
If indicated, an underlying reason should be looked for. As an example, oral candidiasis is often linked to the use of inhaled corticosteroids in asthma medication. Patients on long term inhaled corticosteroids should rinse their mouth after each dose of steroids. It can also be the first sign of a more serious condition, such as HIV. Babies with diaper rash should have their diaper areas kept clean, dry, and exposed to air as much as possible. Sugar assists the overgrowth of yeast; thus, the increased prevalence of yeast infections in patients with diabetes mellitus, as noted above. In the case of frequent yeast infections, sugar can be looked to as a culprit and should be avoided. Nutritionists often recommend avoidance diets, eliminating sugar and often many other foods for a period. Extensive antibiotic treatment is sometimes implicated, and probiotics are then recommended.
Following the health tips at vulvovaginal health can help prevent vaginal candidiasis. Local treatment may include vaginal suppositories or medicated douches.
no it is not an STD and its found thru a pelvic exam i hope you are on an antibiotic if this was one month ago
It's not transferable, it happens naturally, most women who are sexually active experience from time to time, regular douching habits will help
No - is not STD
Yes - it can
No it is not an Std. It is merely just a bacterial infection. I think most women get it sometime or another. I think that yes the infection can see through those exams. If it is bad enough then the doctor can just diagnois it just from looking at it.
It is very common in people who are taking antibiotics or have taken them recently.
yes, a yeast infection can be seen through a urine test. If it is not treated properly it can develop into something serious.
Not really it's more of a cleanliness issue your pardner most likely was with someone else prior to you and didn't bathe. Or quite possibly you got it from some other source, public bathroom etc.
Its not an STD, but It sure is itchy. You can go to the store and get over the counter medicine. Miconazole 7, AKA Miconzale Nitrate cream 2%.Go to the dollar store, Thats where I get it. It wont show up in a urine test because it doesnt have anything to do with your bladder.Its in your vagina.
it is curable so why you worry, its not exactly STD but it can get chronic if you don't take medicine regularly for sometime, Take Supari pak granules and insert tricawin tablets to get rid of this . for more info www.planetayurveda.com
No, it's just an infection in the vagina and no the yeast infection cannot be seen through the blood/urine test exam. Yeast infections are the second most common reason for vaginal burning (with urination), itching, and discharge. Most women can treat yeast infections at home with over-the-counter medications like Monistat-Derm, Monistat Vaginal, Vagistat Vaginal, Femstat, Femizole-7, or Gyne-Lotrimin. However, if symptoms continue for more than 1 week, consult your doctor.
