Question 1

can a yeast infection or hemorrhoids cause lower back pain? my back pain has increased a lot and i currently have both these conditions.

Accepted Answer

No: Generally speaking a Yeast infection and/or a hemorrhoid would not cause back pain.

Question 2

im using proctosedyl antibiotic cream for my hemorrhoid, now i have a yeast infection.did the cream cause my yeast infection?should i stop using it?

Accepted Answer

No: The cream is only in the rectum. The Amoxicillin is probably causing the vaginal yeast infection.

Question 3

can you use hemorrhoid cream for yeast infection?

Accepted Answer

No - different meds.: Hemorrhoid creams are usually to reduce inflammation ; yeast creams are anti-fungals.

Question 4

i bleed occasionally when i wipe. does this sound like an anal yeast infection, fissure, or hemorrhoid?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Either of these conditions can result in minor bleeding. All can cause anal discomfort too. See a doctor for an exam.

Question 5

i have a yeast infection that is affecting my rectum but i also have a problem with hemorrhoids. are there any anti fungal creams i need to avoid?

Accepted Answer

Careful: Antifungal creams are OK to use on the outside (skin only), however, I recommend that your condition be diagnosed as fungal for sure and is not just your assumption. I am not aware of any warnings related to the use of anti-fungal creams as far as hemorrhoids are  concerned.

Question 6

can hemorrhoid cream cause uti or yeast infections if the cream travels from the anus to vaginal area?

Accepted Answer

Maybe: It is theoretically, possible, but with this caveat- poor hygiene must be involved. Females must always wipe after urination from front to back and not the other way to prevent this becoming an issue.

Question 7

i had a trace of protein in my urine, but i also have a yeast infection. can a  yeast infection cause this trace of protein?

Accepted Answer

Yes and no: If the urine also showed epithelial cells and white blood cells, then it is contaminated and the protein could be from that. If it is a clean, properly collected urine specimen then a vaginal yeast infection would not cause a change in the urine protein. Get it rechecked after you clear up the infection.

Question 8

can a yeast infection cause air in the vagina? i think i might have one but i also have a lot of air. can air make the vagina feel looser?

Accepted Answer

See below: Yeast infection is not usually associated with gas/air in the vagina. Loose vagina is likely to aspirate air rather than air making the vagina loose. See the site listed below for more information on yeast infection.

Question 9

how do i know if i have herpes? i am going to the doctors today to get cultured. can a yeast infection cause cuts?

Accepted Answer

Both yeast infection: ; herpes infections can cause what seems like tiny cuts. Local symptoms from a herpes simplex 2 infection are usually is seen 2 to 12 days after exposure ; consists of a cluster of lesions that look like blisters. The lesions can appear on the penis, anus, labia or cervix ; they can spread, coalesce followed by crusting over. The fluid in the lesions is very contagious. Some people contract herpes.

Question 10

can a yeast infection cause you to miscarry?

Accepted Answer

No: The best documented risk factors for spontaneous abortion are advanced maternal age, maternal smoking, and previous history of spontaneous abortion. Most miscarriages are caused by embryonic chromosomal abnormalities and exposure to teratogens. Certain maternal infections can result in spontaneous abortion. However, vaginal yeast infection (candidiasis) is not one of them.
