Healthcare Providers in Puerto Escondido

Yeast infections, primarily caused by the fungus Candida, can occur in various body areas including the mouth (oral thrush), skin folds, and vaginal area. Symptoms include itching, burning, redness, and sometimes a thick discharge. Factors like antibiotic use, hormonal changes, diabetes, and travel stress can increase susceptibility. While yeast infections are not sexually transmitted, they can be uncomfortable and require prompt treatment to prevent worsening symptoms or secondary infections. Treatment typically involves antifungal medications (oral or topical) that effectively clear the infection within a few days. Our English-speaking doctors can provide discreet consultations and prescriptions to help you manage this condition while traveling.
