Question 1

can you get vaginal thrush in your eyes and up your anus?

Accepted Answer

Yeast infection: Yeast does not usually cause eye infections unless there is a predisposing cause (such as contact lens wear, topical steroid use, immunosuppression, etc).  If eye issues, see an eye doctor.

Question 2

how to get rid of vaginal thrush in your nose and eyes?

Accepted Answer

Diflucan (fluconazole) needed: Talk to your physician about taking oral medication for treatment of your extensive thrush infection.

Question 3

i've been diagnosed with oral thrush even though i have no symptoms and i didnt know i had it is it dangerous can i spread it to my eyes by touching?

Accepted Answer

: Oral yeast infection (thrush) is not dangerous at all, and is rarely if ever spread to the eyes or other body sites.

Question 4

hi i have a 6th month old and she have been diagnosed with thrush or yeast infection and it's also around her eyes!! so my question is how did it get?

Accepted Answer

In the air: The organism causing thrush is present in the environment. The child is going through a phase in her immune system, where she is less able to handle the organism. Almost all kids outgrow this phase.

Question 5

reoccurring candida. vag thrush,  rectum & tongue. eyes watery, stomach upset & runny easily. brain fog, depression & fatigue. with candida detox & powerful probiotics i suffer for few days then feel great. then comes  back in few months. please help?

Accepted Answer

Yeast infections: I'm sure your personal hygiene is good. Vaginal yeast infections can be passed back and forth between sexual partners. Have you been checked for diabetes, HIV? Do you take corticosteroids as they can predispose you to yeast infections? Do you have an autoimmune disorder which can weaken your immune system?  Have a complete checkup including blood work by a specialist in infectious diseases

Question 6

what does thrush of the eye look like and what is the best way to treat it?

Accepted Answer

Thrush: This specific term refers to yeast infection of the lining of the oral cavity.  It is very rare for one to get candidal infection in the eye, although not impossible.  If it is conjunctivitis, there are opthalmic solutions.  If this is a systemic manifestation of yeast in the blood stream you need to see a doctor asap, which might not be a bad idea in any event.

Question 7

i have a mild case of oral thrush, i drooled on my pillow and woke up to find my eye was laying in the drool, is it possible to have thrush in my eye?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: I cannot say that it is impossible, but it is very unlikely.

Question 8

if you have recurring vaginal candidiasis for years, are you likely to have it in other parts of the body? (such as mouth, eyes, intestines, etc.)

Accepted Answer

Confirmation: Recurrent vaginal candidiasis needs an extensive workup. One should be tested for diabetes and immune system suppression. It is also necessary to confirm that the vaginal infection is in fact yeast. This should be done by fungal culture. Many times people think they have yeast when in reality they have something else.

Question 9

i have oral thrush. jaundice in mouth. night sweats and poor sex drive as of late. also not really seeing good out of my right eye. also my right leg and right arm tend to go numb at some points?

Accepted Answer

: You need a complete workup from your PCP and then referrals to other specialists and a dentist.

Question 10

get frequent oral thrush. not on immunosupressants. my iga is low ranges from 50-60.  my igg is 650's.  low enough to cuase  infections ?

Accepted Answer

Yes.: Even people with normal Ig levels get thrush. You need to treat it, I recommend nystatin swish and swallow. You might want to get a large prescription so you have some on hand in case it comes back.

If it persists, get a KOH prep, culture, and sensitivities. Some exotic fungal species are resistant to nystatin.
