Chronic yeast infections should be
confirmed microbiologically. An
antibiogram should be done, too, to test
yeast sensibility to various antimycotics.
Further, a vaginal yeast infection is not
considered a sexually transmitted disease
because yeast is normally present in the
vagina without causing inflammation. It is
only on some occasions such as prolonged
usage of antibiotics, corticosteroids,
oral contraceptives, pregnancy, immunity
decrease etc. when the vagina becomes
susceptible to yeast infection.
An infection with the Human papiloma virus
(HPV) can be proven with PCR-test. Some
serotypes of HPV are accused of causing
cervical dysplasion and cancer. Detection
of those types of HPV indicate a need for
regular PAP-tests once every 6 months in
order to monitor reproductive health.
Finally, sterility, chronic yeast
infection and especially HPV-infection are
serious conditions and you shouldn’t be
embarrassed by them. Treat these
conditions seriously and focus postively
on good health. Doctors are trained to do
the same.
