Question 1

does the chances of a guy getting mouth thrush after giving oral sex to a girl with a yeast infection increase if the guy regularly smokes?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Yes, Oral Thrush/yeast infection can be transmitted by oral sex. The risk increases in smokers. The best option is to treat vaginal yeast infections early...as soon as they are suspected and diagnosed.

Question 2

i don't think i have a yeast infection anymore they said it was asymptomatic 2 weeks ago, can i receive oral sex or will my partner get oral thrush?

Accepted Answer

Thrush: Candida, the yeast which causes thrush, is always present in both the mouth and vagina normally. Thrush only occurs when the yeast overgrow. This can be triggered by antibiotic use, use of oral or inhaled steroids, or by immune suppression. If your symptoms are resolved, then you should be OK to resume regular activities.

Question 3

i recently had oral sex with a girl while having sex i found her vagina stinky may be its a yeast infection are there any chances for me to get infect?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Any time you have sexual contact with another person's genitals there is risk for infection, viral or bacterial.  Though unlikely, it is definitely not unheard of.  You may want to discretely mention to her that you noticed an odor and inquire as to whether or not she has had a recent STD check up.  Could also be something benign like bacterial vaginosis.  Have a conversation, prevent STIs.

Question 4

how can you tell the difference between oral thrush and geographic tongue? can both be caused by yeast infection?

Accepted Answer

See below: Thrush is white on the tongue and mucosa on the side and top and bottom of the mouth.  The geographic tongue is not caused by thrush and is benign.  It looks more like continents - thus the name.  If concerned, see your doc.

Question 5

can saliva from oral sex cause a yeast infection and irritation?

Accepted Answer

: Vaginal yeast infections are not caught from other persons or from outside the body. Yeasts are normal in the vagina; when they overgrow and cause symptoms, or when the immune system reacts to them, symptoms begin. A new yeast infection does not mean you caught yeast from anywhere; it has been in you for years. Treatment is easy and effective; it's usually an uncomfortable but minor problem.

Question 6

how many times could you get oral thrush, yeast infection or strep.?

Accepted Answer

Many: Thrush would be extremely unusual in a normal adult without there being some underlying reason. If you are sexually active and unprotected you may want to have yourself tested.  Strep infections can occur with some frequency, again depending on many variables. If we can help more, ask again. Best.

Question 7

can a breaftfed baby aquire oral thrush if a mother has untreated vaginal yeast infection?

Accepted Answer

Thrush/yeast infect: As long as the mom washes her hands there is no way to potentially transfer a vaginal yeast infection to a breastfeeding baby.    While they are both caused by yeast -  to cause thrush the organisms would physically get from the vagina into the baby's mouth.    A very UNLIKELY situation.

Question 8

i have oral thrush and yeast infection. on nystatin for oral and 1 pill dose of fluconazole for other. can i also get yeast in nose...it itches?

Accepted Answer

Diflcan: Will treat oral thrush as well. Intranasal thrush is not common and likely would only be present is someone with a poor immune system. All the best.

Question 9

what can i do, ? i have yeast infection for two weeks and oral thrush for a week

Accepted Answer

See your dr soon: You definitely will want to see your doctor very soon. For you to have used infections and oral thrush, you need to have your immune system evaluated further. You may need to consult with an integrative physician to get their recommendations to evaluate your nutritional status, lab values, stressors, and to see how  you can support your intestinal system better by staying away from sugars and starches.

Question 10

Accepted Answer

Tough issue to treat: Natural treatment for oral thrush is a tough go, as well as even treatments with medications.  I would try ot contact some naturopathic or holistic physician or provider and search out results.
