Gonorrhea is a s*xually transmitted infection (STI) also known as s*xually transmitted disease(STD).
Gonorrhea is caused by a bacterium that infects both males and females called “Neisseria Gonorrhea“.
Gonorrhea most often affects the urethra, re**um and throat. In females Gonorrhea can also infect the cervix.

MODE OF TRANSMISSION
Gonorrhea is transmitted through s*xual in*******se such as va**nal s*x,oral s*x, a**l s*x, sharing s*x toys with an infected person .
Babies of infected mothers can be infected through childbirth. In babies gonorrhea affects their eyes.

CANDIDIASIS /VAGINAL CANDIDASIS / VULVOVAGINAL CANDIDIASIS.

Hello everyone, welcome to my page. Today our topic is on candidiasis which is one of the most experienced va**nal infections of women over time.

Candidiasis is a fungal infection caused by a yeast ( a type of fungus) called Candida.

Candida normally lives inside the body ( a place such as the mouth,throat,gut,and va**na) without causing any problems ( as normal body flora).
Candida can multiply and cause an infection if the environment inside the va**na changes in a way that encourages it's gtowth.

CAUSES OF VAGINAL CANDIDIASIS

Sometimes Candida multiply and cause an infection . If the environment inside the va**na changes in a way that encourages it's growth. This can happen because of hormones,medicines or changes in the immune system.
* it can be transmitted through use of dirty toilet/ restrooms or from an infected s*xual partner .

DIAGNOSIS

It can be diagnosed through taking sample from the va**nal discharge to be examined under a microscope in the laboratory for fungal culture.

SYMPTOMS OF VAGINAL CANDIDIASIS

Some women can have Candida in their va**na without having and symptom.
The symptoms of va**nal candidiasis are:

* Vaginal itching or soreness
* Thick whitish va**nal discharge with cheese cottage appearance that might be offensive .
* Watery va**nal discharge
* Pain during s*xual in*******se
* Pain or discomfort when urinating
* Redness, swelling ,and cracks in the wall of the v***a and va**na.
The symptoms are similar to those of other types of va**nal infections which are treated with different types of medications.
Inform your health care personnel/ provider if you have any of these symptoms and he /she will tell you what to do.

RISK FACTORS :
WHO GETS VAGINAL CANDIDIASIS

Vaginal candidiasis is common ,though more research is needed to understand how many women are affected . Women who are likely to get candiasis include :
* pregnant women
* People who use hormonal contraceptives ( birth control pills)
* People who have diabetes
* People who have weakened immune system ( die to HIV infections or medicines that weakens the immune system such as steroids and chemotherapy )
* People who are taking or have recently taken antibiotics

TREATMENTS OF VAGINAL CANDIDIASIS
Vaginal candidiasis is usually treated with Antifungal medicine.
For most infections, the treatment is Antifungal medicine applied inside the va**na such as boric acid, Nystatin or flucytosine or a single dose of fluconazole taken by mouth.

PREVENTIONS
* Wearing cotton underwear might help reduce the chances of getting a yeast infection.
* Because taking antibiotics can lead to va**nal candidiasis, take medicines only when prescribed and exactly as your health care provider tells you.
* keep your restrooms clean and well disinfected because you can reinfect your self if proper care is not taken.
