What kinds of bacteria are there? answers (2777)

A: Hi and welcome to the forum! I am glad that I can help you. You would like to know whether yeast infection due to yeast powder can cause any damage to the human body and how it can be treated. Yeast powder is used as a rising agent. If consumed in the body, for example by inhaling, these fungi have a competitive effect on the normal bacterial flora. This means that if the human immune system is decreased, not only the bacteria from the normal flora but the fungi as well will grow inside the body. Growth of fungi in the human body may also happen if there is a long period of time while a person is treated with strong multi-spectral antibiotics, which causes decreasing

A: Depends on what and where it is. If it is external, as in sores etc, Pure Lavender essential oil can be used topicaly - but do use with caution. If you have internal infections drinking plenty of water will help. Parsley can be used as a douche if it is a vaginal infection, boil Parsley allow to cool (obviously) and strain before use. Also putting some Tea Tree Oil on a tampon and inserting it overnight can help. If it is a bladder infection again drink plenty of water and Cranberry juice. Before modern antibiotics, infection was the #1 cause of death worldwide. Today it does not even make the top 10 list in America. Don''t let anyone fool you, antibiotics are your...

A: A person with gonococcal, chlamydial or herpetic pharyngitis can transmit these diseases via oral sex (insertive fellatio) causing gonococcal urethritis, chlamydial urethritis, or genital herpes (especially herpes simplex type 1). Other mouth bacteria or viruses can also be transmitted during oral sex - causing diseases such as non-gonococcal urethritis, non-chlamydial urethritis and meningococcal urethritis.

A: Hello Welcome to ehealthforum and thanks for writing of course a discharge like this is not normal and usually reflects an infection of either bacterial, fungal or parasitic origin. It is impossible to guess what the cause is without the benefit of examining you and performing a microscopic exam of the discharge. I suspect however that what is causing this is either bacterial vaginosis or possibly a sexually transmitted disease.Trichomoniasis,chlamydia and gonorrhea can sometimes cause a vaginal discharge symptoms.It is advisable to get a Pap smear test done along with test for any sexually...

A: Hi! Do you have lower abdominal pain/fever/vomiting? Since you have already tried antifungals, and since discharge is not there, it could be some vaginal irritant even. Is there history of diabetes in your family and has blood been tested for glucose ever? Tips to home care for vaginal itching include: 1. Keep your genital area clean and dry. Use plain, unscented soap. 2. Avoid colored or perfumed toilet tissue and bubble bath. 3. Wear cotton panties or pantyhose with a cotton crotch. Avoid panties made from synthetic materials. For infants and toddlers, change diapers often. 4. Change out of wet clothing, especially wet bathing suits or exercise clothing, as soon...

A: Culturelle is a wonderful way to improve and balance your digestive system because it contains probiotics. Probiotic supplements are important for your overall well-being because they replace important intestinal flora that keep your immune system and digestive tract healthy. Our bodies house billions of bacteria strains, some of which are good and some not so good. When the bad bacteria starts to outnumber and overpower the good, that is when your body starts to react with a lowered immune system as well as digestive and intestinal issues. Probiotics can help balance out the bacteria so that your body can function...

A: Basically it could be either yeast or bacteria. The treatment for one would FEED the other, so you need to find out which one it is first. You can buy a kit at the store to pH test yourself. I don''t know how much it costs. Can you ask your mom to help you diagnose it? Despite having had an extremely poor mother-daughter relationship when I was a teen, that''s how I learned to tell what a yeast infection was. Best case scenario, regardless of what kind of infection it is, it will go away on its own. Make sure that your underwear is loose enough and made of COTTON. Also, make sure whatever bottoms you wear

A: Hello, Dania, You"re welcome. Yes, what you had would be called menstrual extraction (D & E is used much later in pregnancy). Unfortunately, the apparatus they use for this type of procedure is very difficult to sterilize, so one of the particular risks you should watch for is infection. Unfortunately, pills will only work for certain kinds of infections. I imagine they gave you an antibiotic. This only works for bacteria. But infections are also caused by viruses and fungus and all sorts of other things. There aren"t any medications commonly given that help...

A: Dear Tracy, First of all, you honestly need''nt worry so much! I''ll try here to explain things for you, and if you still have questions, please don''t hesitate to ask. Staphylococcus Aureus (SA) are a group of bacteria which are very commonly found on the skin and cause infections. But there are many different types and the particular type known as MRSA (methicillin resistant Staph aureus) is causing increasing problems because, as the name suggests, it is very resistant to treatment with antibiotics. Even some of our most powerful antibiotics, such as methicillin, can''t stop it in its tracks. Around 30%

A: You can get a cheapo water testing kit. Just look on Amazon or wherever for one. If it is cheap, it probably won''t be horribly amazing or exact, but should be able to tell you something. I think you just need to be get acclimated to the water and its bacterial content, like people who visit Mexico. Always mix it with something Kool-Aid, and don''t drink large amounts. If you''re drinking tea, make sure to add some sugar and maybe have something in your stomach. @eadinad: Yes, perhaps as steveprutz suggested, koolaid or sugar might mask the taste of the bacteria – but you''ll still be ingesting that crap. Stop drinking your water until you can filter it and get it tested asap. If you building, as you said, is...
