Could yeast infection be related to pain in tailbone?
Patient: i believe that i have a yeast infection (for about 3 days or so now) and last night my tailbone really started to bother me and it has worsened today.  i haven't fallen on my tailbone ever and am not sure when it is bothering me.  could these two be related? Doctor: Hello,Welcome to HCM,Fungal infection can affect genital area and the area around the anus. The fungus are the normal comensals of these area, it will be kept under control by the bacteria present in this area.Whenever there is a favorable environment in this area it will produce the symptoms of the fungal infection like pain, itching and discrete rashes. As the fungal infection can occur in the anal region that is below the tailbone, the fungal infection can occur in this area.The pain in this area may be due to boils which can occur in this area because of presence of lot of hair follicle in this area.Thank you.
