What Can You Do About A Vaginal Yeast Infection?
September 28, 2009 by Janet7
Vaginal yeast infections are caused by overgrowth of Candida albicans type of yeast found in the vagina. This organism is normally found in small quantities in the vagina, mouth, digestive tract and skin. Women of all ages can get yeast infections. Throughout life, 75% of all women who could have at least one vaginal yeast infection and up to 45% have two or more.
Vaginal yeast infections may be confused with other conditions such as bacterial vaginosis, other infectious vaginitis and trichomoniasis. Of these three conditions, trichomoniasis is the only one for a sexually transmitted disease.
Women tend to be more prone to vaginal yeast infections if their bodies are under stress due to poor diet, illness, lack of sleep and when you take antibiotics or medicines, corticosteroids. Other common triggers include pregnancy, diabetes, steroids, birth control pills, pH balance, and obesity.
Vaginal yeast infections can also occur as a result of internal vaginal injury, such as after chemotherapy. Also, women with suppressed immune systems (such as those taking cortisone-related medicines such as prednisone) develop vaginal yeast infections (yeast vaginitis) more often than women with normal immunity.
Symptoms of vaginal yeast infection include redness, burning, itching and irritation of the vaginal area. Swelling of the vulva may be present in serious cases, swelling and painful urination and may be more frequent. Sometimes there is a yellow-green frothy vaginal discharge, which may have a bad odor, but not always.
Vaginal yeast infections are common and easily treated in most women, but became more and more difficult to treat in women with HIV. Treatments for yeast infections include prescription and over-the-counter medications. Pills, taken orally, requiring a prescription. Length of treatment varies depending on the vaginal medication you use. Single-day treatments are stronger and more comfortable.
If you are pregnant, do not use antifungal medication pills that you take by mouth.

How to Prevent & Cure Vaginosis? Straightforward House Remedy Ideas For Treating Vaginosis -
WOOHOO you rock Maysea, Kotex Overnights, good choice… well, that would be, good choice had you not had a reaction to it!
I did make a post in your honour though
Antibiotics are a well known cause of vaginal yeast infections because of the immunosuppressive property, killing off natural protective bacteria in your vaginal area. I'm not sure how you maintain that area (nor do I need to know, that's something for your hubby to know, LOL), but using fragrances, perfume or other irritants which upsets the natural balance of that area might make you susceptible to thrush. I'm not sure, but are the specific Kotex you used SCENTED? If so, that might be or be part of, the problem. However, I'm thinking that the antibiotics or at least the REASON why you were using them in the first place brought down your immunity and allowed the yeast to thrive and thus become itchy. I honestly HATE scented products… I think if women practiced better personal hygiene regularly and especially during her time-of-the-month is already enough to keep her smelling fresh without the assistance of chemicals.
However… pregnancy is also a known predisposition to susceptibility to yeast infections
I did notice that they have a new “premium” model of Kotex in PH – Kotex Luxe… go look it up, it looks fancy and maybe something that will help
Don't forget to try Kotex again after you get your “issues” dealt with just to see if it really was a coincidence that you had a reaction to it! If not, Modess will forever be your friend… damn, now I want to know how great Modess is

RJ, there was a very clear line drawn from sexual immorality to AIDS.
Your brother did not die of AIDS. Leukemia is not a sexually transmitted disease, so it doesnt apply to this post. of course, its tragic your brother died at such a young age, but again it has literally nothing to do with what was put forth in this post.

Louis Burnett, professor of biology and director of the Grice Marine Laboratory of the College of Charleston and Karen Burnett, research associate professor at Grice Marine Laboratory have been examining the effects of low oxygen and high carbon dioxide levels on the immune system. The results of their research, presented at the Comparative Physiology meeting and described in a press release from The American Physiological Society, show that fish, oysters, crab and shrimp living in this low oxygen, high carbon dioxide environment have suppressed immune systems compared to animals living in oxygen rich, low carbon dioxide environments. A normal immune response in these animals involves blood cells clumping to…
