Types of Yeast Infections

If you can identify the many types of yeast infections, you are one step closer to getting the treatment you need. While vaginal yeast infection may be the most common type of issue, its unfortunately not the only type.

We've put together a couple types for you to help get the right treatment:

Does My Baby Have A Yeast Infection?

There is nothing more pathetic than a baby in distress, and a baby with a yeast infection is no different. Yeast infections can be spread through delivery, if the mother has a yeast infection, or through breastfeeding, again, if the mother is experiencing an infection. The symptom of thrush, which is a condition that creates white patches and sores in the baby’s mouth, is caused by a yeast infection but, then again, a baby can develop thrush if there is no yeast infection present.

Yeast Infection In Men

When you think about yeast infections men usually don’t come to mind. Yeast infections in men do happen though, and it is not a sexually transmitted disease like herpes, although men can get yeast infections from sexual contact so it is considered to be part of the STD family.
