A yeast infection can become a very uncomfortable sensation for most people. This type of infection is very common, affecting nearly seventy-five percent of the female population. This infection is caused by a type of yeast-like fungus called Candida, which is naturally present in our bodies in small quantities. Its numbers are carefully regulated by bacteria in our bodies. If this bacterial balance is disrupted, the yeast could be allowed to grow uncontrollably, causing an infection. Most yeast infections can be treated at home with over-the-counter or prescription medication and can clear up in less than a week. This is ***uming that your immune system has not been compromised by another form of disease, such as HIV or Lyme disease. Treatment can come in cream, pill, or ******l suppository form. You should consult your physician first to find which form of treatment is right for you. If you have a weak immune system, your doctor may treat minimal infections with homecare, but if the infection becomes serious, you may need IV medication given at the hospital.... http://groups.yahoo.com/group/yeastinfvn |
