subject: Yeast Infection Symptoms In Women Appear Once The Yeast Multiplication Goes Out Of Control [print this page] Adult females get affected by yeast infections and it is important for them to get rid of this infection. A dark and moist place like the female reproductive organ is the perfect host to a fungus like yeast. Women already have yeast in their reproductive organ's area in normal circumstances. Research has shown that yeast infection occurs at least once in the lifetime for 3 out of 4 women.
Yeast infections happen once the yeast starts to multiply without any control. When a womans immune system gets weakened, it usually leads to yeast infection. This may be while battling any illness or while treating any disease by using antibiotics.
There are a number of common yeast infection symptoms in women. But the symptoms of various medical conditions may be quite similar to each other. These medical conditions include some sexually transmitted diseases also. It is best to consult a doctor in case you think that you have a yeast infection. This will rule out any other serious disease. The most common yeast infection symptoms in women are:
Itching
Soreness
A burning feeling while urinating
Thick and white female reproductive organ's discharge
Female reproductive organ's odour
Feeling of pain in the female reproductive organ's area
Pain in the abdomen
Many times in a year these symptoms may be experienced by certain women. The reason being that these women are more prone to female reproductive organ's yeast infections. Yeast infections tend to occur 4 to 5 times each year in the case of 5% women.
Another factor here is that certain women may not experience any symptoms while some may experience only a few symptoms. The male partner may still get the yeast infection passed on to him. There are different symptoms in the case of males. The symptoms are detailed below:
Skin in the genital area getting chapped and dry
Constipation accompanied with gas
Occurence of rashes
Head of the male reproductive organ getting sore
A thick discharge which is white in colour
Occurrence of blisters
Again, these symptoms are all close to symptoms you may experience with other conditions involving the genitals. As early as possible it is crucial to know how to treat the yeast infection symptoms. Treat your yeast infection symptoms quickly in the right away.
Female reproductive organ's infection can be prevented if proper care is taken. Important thing here is hygiene. Female reproductive organ's area needs to be kept clean and dry. Always wear cotton undergarments. Innerwear which is synthetic should not be worn. Change out of a wet swimsuit right away. Feminine sprays, scented toilet paper and deodorant tampons need to be avoided.
A pelvic examination may be done to confirm the yeast infection symptoms in women. Inflammation of the vulva will be detected this way .
The risk of yeast affection may be alleviated due to many reasons. It may be due to stress or due to lack of sleep. Other factors may be illness or during pregnancy. Eating too much of sugary food can also lead to yeast infection. Yeast infection will be more common in women taking in steroids or birth control pills.
