The fungi that leads to a yeast infection is actually already on the body but is usually kept under control. If its environment changes to being more moist and warm, it grows. Usually our body is able to keep the fungi from over growing through our immune system and good bacteria we have.
Yeast infections are not limited to just women; men and children can also get them. The most common misconception is that a yeast infection is a female problem as the most common form is vaginal, but men can get it on the penis and babies can get Thrush (a mouth yeast infection).Yeast infections form wherever there is a warm, dark, damp environment to thrive in.
Why you might get a yeast infection
First of all for babies and toddlers remember that since the Candida (the fungus) loves the warm and moist areas, changing diapers regularly is important as is cleaning between baby folds of skin. If you need to know what to look for, it is white and lumpy and smells of yeast. Clean and especially dry your baby properly particularly during hot weather. For women, yeast infection of the vagina is more common because of the composition of the genital area, the folds etc are more prone to staying dark, warm and damp. Men may get it because of poor hygeine routines or getting it from their infected sexual partner.
Symptoms of a yeast infection
Symptoms really depend on where it is happening. If it is vaginal there can be itching, burning, and thick or thin white discharge. Oral yeast infection (Thrush) usually comes with patches that are thick and white and underneath the patches it is red and swollen. This type is not itchy like other manifestations but is sore and if the white crust is removed it bleeds. This makes it difficult to drink or eat so make sure if it is a baby that you hydrate him or her regularly.
Conclusion
In order to quickly treat or avoid yeast infections it is important to know why they occur and to be aware of the symptoms. This is because yeast infections really need to be treated as fast as possible so that other complications do not arise and because treatments are more effective on a new infection rather than a long term untreated one.
