What is a Vaginal Yeast Infection?
  • A vaginal yeast infection is a fungal infection
    that causes irritation, discharge, and severe
    itchiness of the vagina and the vulva the
    tissues at the vaginal opening.
  • Otherwise known as vaginal candidiasis, vaginal
    yeast infection affects as many as three out of
    four women at some point in their lifetimes. Many
    women go through at least 2 episodes.
  • A vaginal yeast infection is not considered a
    sexually transmitted disease (infection).
    However, there is a greater risk of vaginal yeast
    infection at the time of the first regular sexual
    activity. There is also some evidence that
    infections might be associated with the mouth
    through genital contact (oral-genital sex).
  • Medications could effectively treat vaginal yeast
    infections. If you have recurring yeast
    infections four or more during the year you
    might require a longer course of treatment and a
    maintenance plan.
