Yeast infections

I take prednisone, arthrotec, losec, folic acid(all pills) daily, and a weekly injection of methotrexate...can one or the mixture be causeing recuring yeast infection?

Answer:

Yes! The prednisone and the methotrexate are major sources of yeast infections. If you are getting oral thrush, (yeast in the mouth) your doctor can prescribe an anti- fungal preperation such as Nyastatin swish and swallow. If you are growing yeast other places, there are over the counter preperations that will kill or control this fungus. Keep in mind that we have yeast as a natural part of our body but there is a delicate balance of chemicals in the body naturally that keep it from over production. When something such as steroid use, certain antibiotics, certain diseases such as diabetes or any disease or condition that lowers the immune system can kill the good bacteria that normally keeps this yeast in check. There are also oral medictions that can be taken because yeast can also over grow in areas that are not visable such as in your blood stream. Ask you doc for an anti fungal that will best meet your needs.


duh, der ,um, DUH!
yes, contact your doctor and let him know so he can help.
Yeast infections is some thing women don't tell you before..
ask your doctor. not a bunch of complete strangers.
I don't doubt your medications are causing it. Try drinking cranberry juice. Try taking only what's neccessary.
you might think this sounds silly.but. you can acturally keep getting yeast infections from a sex partner. make sure he is clean before haveing intercourse. and after intercourse make sure you go and pee afterwards. that helps clear you system of any bacteria. hope this helped
yeast infection can happen two ways

1. eating breads and yogart

2. sex partner ( He would be cheating on you.)


yeast infection can accure as a result of sexual activity (and no it doesnt mean that ur partner is cheating on u) try to keep clean and u can find some good OTC creams used for the treatment of yeast infection. Also, try taking a bath and keep urself in warm water for as long as u can
