00:00Welcome back to Pinoy M.D., Kapusog!
00:02Wake up and be careful because we still have a lot to talk about that's important.
00:06And this talk is a bit of a selling topic, but then again,
00:10our commitment here at Pinoy M.D. is to always talk about,
00:14even if it's a selling topic, Doctor,
00:16as long as our goal is to guide our fellow countrymen correctly, right?
00:21Through our program.
00:22So, our topic today is about yeast infection.
00:27So, Doctor, best that you describe.
00:29What is yeast infection?
00:30Yes, actually, yeast infection is very common in women.
00:33There's a discharge, right?
00:35And then, of course, it's called white or frothy.
00:38And of course, it's itchy, right?
00:40And then, sometimes, there are updates in urination.
00:45And if we really need to know this, Kapusog,
00:48let's talk about how to prevent, first and foremost,
00:50and know the symptoms of a person with yeast infection.
00:53Let's watch this.
00:57To our fellow women who are fond of sweets,
01:02who are always tired,
01:05or who have diabetes that is a bit neglected,
01:10we have some questions that are a bit sensitive.
01:16Do you experience itching in your urine?
01:24Is urination itchy?
01:27Or do you experience white discharge?
01:31If your answer is yes, it's possible that you have yeast infection.
01:37It's natural that there are bacteria and yeast cells
01:39that are called Candida albicans in the vagina.
01:43These are the ones that maintain a healthy pH level.
01:48If there is a change in the pH level,
01:50it's possible that there are more yeast cells
01:52that result in a vaginal discharge.
01:55It's also possible that it results in vaginal yeast infection
01:58or vaginal candidiasis.
02:01We can also see this in compromised women.
02:04Women who have been taking antibiotics for a long time,
02:07or have been taking steroids for a long time,
02:10and diabetes mellitus is one of them.
02:13During pregnancy, if a woman has immunomodulation,
02:18it can also be a common infection during pregnancy.
02:22It's also possible to have a yeast infection
02:24if there is a lack of good personal hygiene.
02:27Wearing tight clothes with a synthetic fabric
02:31and often experiencing stress.
02:34Those who are fond of sweets can have it.
02:38Because the food of yeast is sugar.
02:42Although it is common to have a yeast infection,
02:45there are still many of our hearts that are not clear when it comes to its contents.
02:50Is yeast infection considered a STD?
02:57Candidiasis per se is not a sexually transmitted disease.
03:02You don't get it with contact.
03:05Even if a woman is single,
03:08if she is predisposed to develop the infection,
03:11she will have the infection.
03:12Although there are cases where the infection is recurrent,
03:18the partner is also treated.
03:24At what age is it possible to have a yeast infection?
03:28There is no specific age bracket that targets candidiasis,
03:32but usually we see it in sexually active women,
03:37or women who often take antibiotics because of some other infections,
03:45or women who have diabetes.
03:51Because there is no specific age for yeast infection,
03:54it is important to avoid it.
03:56That's why Doc Q advises...
03:58Proper perineal hygiene is very important.
04:02For example, after peeing, just wash with soap and water.
04:08It is also important to keep the area dry.
04:11So the perineal area of the woman should always be dry.
04:15Do not wear tight clothes.
04:17Choose clothes made of cotton or other natural fibers.
04:22Probiotic food and drinks can also help to maintain the pH balance in the vaginal area.
04:30Doc Q, are home remedies that you see on the internet effective?
04:36There is no scientific basis for this.
04:39We don't have good evidence,
04:41strong evidence to prove that these home remedies work.
04:45I hope you don't use it because their infection may get worse.
04:52Can yeast infection be treated with antifungal tablets or creams?
04:57The duration of the medication depends on the complication and strength of the patient's immune system.
05:03Always remember, no matter how severe your illness is,
05:07it is not a reason to endure or be ashamed.
05:13Do not be afraid to consult a doctor so that it can be treated properly.
05:20Because good health depends on kindness.
05:23And it is very important that we have the right knowledge in all matters,
05:27especially when it comes to health.
05:29That's right, Connie.
05:30Of course, I will also add that proper eating is important
05:33because yeast infection grows when you eat a lot of sugar or sugar.
05:38It will help control the yeast.
05:40Alright, thank you very much.
05:41Thank you.
05:42Thank you.
05:43Thank you.
05:44Thank you.
05:45Thank you.
05:46Thank you.
05:47Thank you.
05:48Thank you.
05:49Thank you.
05:50Thank you.
05:51Thank you.
05:52Alright, thank you very much.
05:53Thank you.
05:54Doktora, and of course, to our listeners, stay tuned
05:56because we are going to go for a walk.
05:57We will go for a walk later.
05:59Wow!
06:00Watch out!
06:01That's what we are going to do.
06:02We will be back here in Pinoy MDE.
