Why do women always suffer from thrush or yeast infection? |
Why do women always suffer from thrush or yeast infection? I had a male friend who actually had a systemic yeast infection. The infection ran throughout his body carried by his blood. The result was, basically, constant hives. He was a head brewer at a micro-brewery and worked with yeast. It was a relatively permanent condition lest he quite his job. I'll take a vaginal yeast infection over that! I also have a female friend who, at the age of 31, has never had a yeast infection. It's just not fair. We all have yeast and bacteria living in our bodies. Most people even have E. Coli, strep, and staph living in them. Normally our bodies naturally maintain a balance of good and bad flora (yeast and other fungi as well as bacteria). Sometimes things happen to upset the balance. It can be as simple as a change in your body's pH level (more acid or base). Yeast infections occur in women more frequently simply because the vagina is a nice, happy, warm place for the yeasties. Frequent bathing, good diet, and sleeping without underwear while wearing only cotton panties during the day are excellent ways to prevent yeast infections. Yogurt with active cultures does wonders, too. Antibiotics are notorius for causing yeast infections. They kill of bacteria which compete with yeast in the body. When the yeast have less competition they thrive and become an infection. LOL waaaaaaaat? not just women im diabetic and a bloke,and i get it,when my sugar levels are too high. No fun at all they don't always and even some babies have had thrush, but some women are unfortunate enough to have a chronic and painful vaginal disorder of some kind--mercy! Thrush can be caused by loads of things and both women and men can suffer from it e.g if your on antibiotics it can cause thrush or if a man or woman wears underwear that isn't cotton because cotton is light and airy it doesn't let sweat or heat build up in the genital area and other materials like silk or nylon cause heat and this is major breathing ground for bacteria. Its a fairly common ailment but recognised more in women because we have noticeable symptoms whereas when men have thrush they have no symptoms at all we are not the only ones that suffer! men do too people tend to get it more if they are on certian anti biotics... i find that sprinkling thick salt once a week when having my bath helps!! Not all women do. I've never had either. |
