Can Yeast Infection Be The Reason For Reduction In The WBC Count?
Hello I am 33 year old female and i weight about 160. I fequently get yeast infections and nothing showed up on my labs. I started taking Fungal Defense and use Olive oil for topical treatment. Whenever yeast infection occurs my white blood count goes down. How can I treat this?

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. if you have frequent yeast infection then you should take antifungal drugs to treat it. You should also go for hiv testing because repeat infection is common in immune compromised people and low wbc count is also common. Consult your doctor and take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
