As a family doctor another very
common complain that we seem to get
is a very common Yeast infection
a lot of times the women would come to, come to the practice
and complain of having a Yeast Infection which is really a very
common term and perhaps need to spend some time
to talk a lit bit about this very common Yeast Infection
whenever a female has a ***
discharge very very often this discharge is automatically referred to
as a Yeast Infection and
I would say most, most visits to the family doctor
is for this so-called
Yeast Infection
it turns out that very often
it may not be a yeast infection per say because a yeast infection
tend to be of a specific nature and I could probably just spend some time to just try
outline what, what a common yeast infection is
usually if is a yeast infection, there is a discharge
but the type of discharge is what makes a difference.
The discharge tend to be white and somewhat creamy
and is associated with vaginal
itching. Sometimes on the outside of the ***
or, or sometimes even, even within
and that is the usual classic yeast infection.
However sometimes there is a vaginal discharge and, and is just
I mean in a blanket way is referred to as yeast.
But when a discharge is, is more watery
is, is yellow perhaps in colour
and as a mal
odour are a very bad odour. That is not usually a yeast
infection. So you have different types of vaginal discharged.
And it would, it would be results from various different
other, other causes. Which would need a totally different approach
in terms of,
in terms of treatment. The the concern I
suppose is to know which
infection is sexually transmitted and which is not.
Or which are the dangerously, are the dangerous sexually transmitted infections
that most women would, would perhaps not want to, to get.
Of course you know these are things like gonorrhoea
or trichomoniasis or even chlamydia.
These infections tend to be not as
obvious as the common yeast infection you tend to have more of a yellow discharge.
And you may or may not have an odour associated with those infections
One comment as well
in the case of men, the male who has a yeast, because they can also have a yeast infection
as well.
However often what you'd find is that the tip of the *** or what we call the glands
becomes red, with some real small
fine bumps tend to appear on them.
And you have itching along with it.
So when you have that picture then that is usually yeast.
And very commonly if the female partner has a yeast
and has intercourse with the, with the male partner then that will happen, it
can be transferred to the male.
Although the male doesn't easily get a yeast
or develop a yeast infection as easily as,
as the female. But when it appears in the male, it appears
as redness to the tip of the *** with some real small
find red bumps that tend to come up on it as well
