Yeast is a fungus scientifically known as Candida. The common type of fungus responsible for vaginal yeast infection is Candida Albicans. Yeast is present on normal human skin and in places of moisture, such as the mouth and vagina. Nearly twenty five percent (25%) women carry yeast infection in the vaginal area.

Nearly (75%) seventy five percent of women have chances of getting vaginal yeast infections at least once in their lifetimes, and up to 45% have chances of carrying vaginal yeast infections twice or three times. Women are more prone to contract yeast infections, when they are under stress, due to inadequate sleep, during pregnancy, or are under the influence of antibiotics.

Symptoms:

1. Itchiness feeling in the vaginal area

2. Thick, white colored cheese like discharge

3. Burning sensation around the vaginal opening, if urine touches that area

4. Extreme pain or discomfort during sexual intercourse.

Doctors may check for the infection based on the above symptoms. They may then do a pelvic examination to look for swelling and the white discharge in and around the vaginal area. The vaginal discharge is called Candida Fungus. Granted I may have been able to write an entire book on just this topic. Hence, this meager article cannot due justice to the topic.
