Best Doctors for Candidiasis Treatment in Gajuwaka, Visakhapatnam

Candidiasis is a medical term for a fungal infection caused by the abnormal growth of yeast. It can clinically manifest as oral thrush affecting the mucous membranes of the oral cavity, vaginal candidiasis affecting the vaginal and pubic areas, skin/cutaneous candidiasis affecting the various parts of the body and invasive/systemic candidiasis affecting the bloodstream and other targeted organs. A dermatologist and a dentist may help in clinical evaluation, diagnosis and treatment of various types of candidiasis. A compromised immune system, prolonged use of medications like corticosteroids, long standing systemic diseases like uncontrollable diabetes, and chronic stress may increase the risk of the infection. A treatment regimen with antifungal oral medications or topical ointments may help control the spread of the fungal infection, in extreme cases such as invasive candidiasis. Intravenous injections with antifungal components may be preferred to reduce the progression and severity.
