Yeast Infection/Vaginal Yeast Infection
Vaginal infection may be caused by yeast, which is a type of fungus. Small numbers of these tiny organisms normally live on the skin and inside the vagina. An infection can occur when there is overgrowth of yeast in the vaginal environment.
A common form of this infection is called Candida. Candida Albicans is a tiny, common, yeast-like fungus normally found in the mouth, digestive tract, vagina, and on the skin of healthy people. In some situations, it may cause long-term infections of the skin, nails, scalp, mucous membranes, genitals, or internal organs. A sign of candida may be recurrent yeast infections.
The following factors may cause conditions that favor the overgrowth of yeast:
- Menstruation
- Pregnancy
- Some medicines (antibiotics, steroids, oral contraceptives)
- Diabetes
- Constant moisture and irritation of the vagina
Yeast infections can be very uncomfortable, with the following symptoms:
- Itching and burning in the vagina.
- Itching and burning of the skin area around the vagina.
- Swelling and redness of the skin area around the vagina.
- A thick, white vaginal discharge that looks like cottage cheese.
- Pain during sexual intercourse.
