Who made this claim in the first place? As long as remember it was pretty much always about non absorbing and non breathable (also made so by stacking layers) fabric making it more likely to develop a yeast infection. Sobel JD claims in the given source
"the use of well-ventilated clothing and cotton underwear could be of value in preventing infection. However, no increased risk for vulvovaginal candidosis has been found among wearers of tight clothing or non-cotton underwear"
So what happened to this study he co-authored? https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15041994 Mind you that the construction and wearing habits of pantyliners or pantyhose can be very very different.-- Tobias "ToMar" Maier ( talk) 21:50, 15 September 2014 (UTC)
This is more of a general overview of probiotics rather than specifically about their use to prevent or treat VVC. Probably best on the probiotics page IMO. Doc James ( talk · contribs · email) 19:11, 20 February 2015 (UTC)
"Probiotics are living micro-organisms (bacteria or yeast) which are intended to treat and prevent diseases when administered in sufficient quantities. [1] Example probiotics which have been used to treat and prevent candida infections are Lactobacillus fermentum RC-14, Lactobacillus fermentum B-54, Lactobacillus rhamnosus GR-1, Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG and Lactobacillus acidophilus. [1] Probiotics can be taken by mouth or directly administered vaginally. If taken daily by mouth, the organisms transfer from the rectum to the vagina. [1] Probiotics are intended to lead to colonisation of the vagina with beneficial species which release toxic metabolic byproducts (e.g. lactic acid, hydrogen peroxide, bacteriocin) which negatively effect the ability of candida species to colonize, adhere, invade and grow, thereby restoring the healthy microbiotic balance and preventing recurrence of the candidal overgrowth. [1] Increasing levels of resistance to antifungal medication and their potential adverse effects has lead to more interest in the role of probiotics to treat VVC. [1]"
"Some evaluations have shown that probiotics are effective against VVC, and that their adverse effects are minor (Jeavons 2003; Falagas 2006; Martinez 2009a), while others failed to demonstrate their efficacy in VVC (Pirotta 2004; Falagas 2006)."
Moved per consensus. By my count, there are eight editors supporting the move and two in opposition, with supporters demonstrating substantial evidence of the proposed move target being the common name of the condition. bd2412 T 17:45, 25 May 2015 (UTC)
Candidal vulvovaginitis → Vaginal yeast infection – Per WP:COMMONNAME. Google Books Ngram shows "vaginal yeast infection" is four times as popular as "Candidal vulvovaginitis" and has been the more common term since 1985. On Google Trends, "Candidal vulvovaginitis" doesn't even register because it is such a rare search term. Kaldari ( talk) 04:52, 11 May 2015 (UTC)
More opposition on another thread- There is another thread about this on wt:med where a few other editors have expressed opposition to this. This rename has no consensus imo. Matthew Ferguson ( talk) 06:32, 16 May 2015 (UTC)
I'm not entirely certain about this language. It is sometimes classed as an STD based on context, i.e. there's an entire chapter on vaginal thrush in the CDC's 2015 STD treatment handbook... "Vulvovaginal Candidiasis - 2015 STD Treatment Guidelines". www.cdc.gov. 2019-01-11. Retrieved 2021-01-16.. I don't like us saying something which is not entirely true.
BUT I agree we shouldn't call it an STD in the lede because most he majority of cases of vaginal thrush are not sexually transmitted. However, some cases /are/ sexually transmitted, so I think we do need to say that somewhere.
I think I would like this to say:
"It may occur more often in those who are frequently sexually active.[1][2] In some rare cases, it can be sexually transmitted."
Or maybe even this is undue weight for the lead? And we should just not mention STIs in the lede and just point that out later on? Mvolz ( talk) 15:10, 16 January 2021 (UTC)
In the Causes section, it says oral contraceptives may increase the risk. What does this mean? is birth control pills or something else? Cassie Schebel, almost a savant. <3 ( talk) 17:15, 1 April 2022 (UTC)
