Meet Your Body’s Water Cleaner: The Kidney.

The kidney are two special bean-shaped organs in the body. They’re about the size of your fist and sit just under your ribs, one on each side of your spine.

They clean your blood.
Every day, your kidneys filter your blood to take out extra water, salt, and waste.

This waste becomes urine (p*e), and it leaves your body when you go to the bathroom.

They also help:

•Keep your blood pressure steady

•Make red blood cells

•Keep bones strong

Your kidneys are small, but they’re super smart.

Candidaisis Treatment

Topical antifungals: Creams, ointments, or suppositories are often used to treat localized infections such as oral thrush or ge***al yeast infections. These medications are applied directly to the affected area.

Oral antifungals: For more widespread or severe infections, oral medications such as fluconazole, itraconazole, or voriconazole may be prescribed. These medications are taken by mouth and work systemically to treat the infection.

Intravenous antifungals: In cases of invasive candidiasis or systemic infection, intravenous antifungal medications such as fluconazole, amphotericin B, or echinocandins may be necessary. These are administered directly into the bloodstream under medical supervision.

Lifestyle and home remedies: In addition to medication, certain lifestyle changes and home remedies may help manage symptoms and prevent recurrence. These include practicing good hygiene, wearing breathable clothing, avoiding irritating substances, and maintaining a balanced diet.
