What's yeast infection?
Question:
Answers:
A yeast infection occurs when the yeast that occurs natually in the vagina begins to "take over". It can cause painful, burning itching and a sort of chunky white discharge to come out of your vagina. A yeast infection occurs when the slightly acidic environment of the vagina is disrupted. Normally, the pH of your vagina keeps the yeast and other bacterias at bay. By using scented soaps, wearing underwear that doesn't breath or not showering after vigorous exercise, you can disturb the chemical balance and encourage a yeast infection.
Yeast infections are extremely common. About 3 in 4 women will experience at least one before they hit their mid-twenties.
Yeast is a fungus-the common one in females is called monilia or thrush.
you can get in in the groin,arm pit and under the breasts
Any moist area
This brings us to the main area in the female -The vagina
It causes an itchy white discharge
You are more liable to get it if you are pregnant,on the pill, or a diabetic
you are also at increased risk if you remove the natural protection-by using bath salts/bath oils and vaginal deodorants-Therefore don't.
Lastly if you have been on a course of antibiotics not only can they reduce the effectiveness of the pill but they upset the balance of natural bacteria in the vagina(you all have bacteria in the vagina completely normal). Monilia then seizes the opportunity of this unbalance and overgrows causing the vaginal inflammation and symptoms
