what's a yest infection?


Question:
yeast or lleast ? what is it?

Answers:
A yeast infection (also called candidiasis) is an overgrowth of yeast that causes vaginal irritation or vaginitis. All healthy women have a certain kind of yeast in their vaginas, but sometimes it grows too much. Symptoms of a yeast infection include a thick, white, odorless vaginal discharge and itching, irritation, and redness of the vulva and the opening of the vagina.

Yeast infections must be diagnosed and treated by a clinician. There are over-the-counter medications available for women who have had professional guidance about how to recognize and be sure of the symptoms. Otherwise, it is necessary to meet with a clinician because it is easy for a woman to think she has a yeast infection when she may really have a more dangerous infection or condition.
