Yeast Infections

Candida is the systematic name for yeast. It is a fungus that lives roughly everywhere, counting in your body. Usually, your immune organization keeps yeast under control. If you are sick or taking antibiotics, it can reproduce and cause an infection.

Yeast infections affect diverse parts of the body in different ways:

* Thrush is a yeast illness that causes white patches in your mouth
* Esophagitis is thrush that spreads to your esophagus, the tube that takes food from your mouth to your stomach. Esophagitis can make it hard or tender to swallow
* Women can get vaginal yeast infection, causing itchiness, pain and release
* Yeast infection of the skin cause itching and rashes
* Yeast infections in your bloodstream can be serious
Antifungal medicine removes yeast infections in most people. If you have a weak immune system, conduct might be extra difficult.
