Yeast infections are very common according to the Mayo Clinic, as many as 75 per cent of women will have a yeast infection at some point in their life. Also called vaginal candidiasis, it is a fungal infection whose symptoms include irritation, discharge and intense itchiness of the vagina and vulva.
You get a vaginal yeast infection when your vagina’s ecosystem is out of balance. A healthy vagina contains bacteria and yeast cells. When something – such as taking antibiotics, douching, and diabetes – upsets this delicate balance, the yeast cells can multiply and lead to the symptoms of a yeast infection.
