Diagnosed
For healthy people,most physicians can diagnose a Candida infection,without tests.
but the only way to diagnose a vaginal yeast infection is to do a full gynecologic exam. they may alsotake blood and urine samples.
Treatment
Treatment is based on the location of infection, underlining disease, and immune status.
>Nystatin
>amphotericin B or Echinocandins (for oral infections)
>Topcial Azole (for vaginal infections)
Who it affects
It can range from infants, to children, to adults.
commonly found in women. but males can get it to.
If left intreated.
Treatment must be long term, consistent, and continual because the Candida organism is very resistant if the Candida organisms are killed off too rapidly, our body is flooded with overwhelming amounts of toxins from ruptured yeast cells. The body immediately reacts with an inflammatory immune response that can cause unbearable symptoms, known as “die-off”
