Question 1

can yeast from a vaginal/skin yeast infection in groin and butt crack enter the bloodstream through an anal fissure or other small cut and cause candidemia/invasive candidiasis?

Accepted Answer

: It is unlikely unless you have underlying immune deficiency. Prevent constipation to help with anal fissure. You may take a fiber laxative like Metamucil and drink enough water daily so that your urine is colorless. For the long term you may try to increase your intake of fiber foods. Consult this site for fiber foods.
