Vaginal Yeast Infection

One kind of vaginal inflammation known as vaginitis, which is characterized by vaginal irritation, severe itching, and vaginal discharge, is a vaginal yeast infection. Your vagina and the tissues surrounding its opening are impacted by a vaginal yeast infection (vulva).

Vaginal candidiasis, another name for vaginal yeast infection, is extremely frequent. Yeast infections affect up to three out of every four women at some point in their lives. Many women get at least one yeast infection.

Even while the fungus that causes vaginal yeast infections can be transferred from oral to genital contact, the illness is not regarded as sexually transmitted. Unless you have four or more recurrent yeast infections in a single year, simple therapy is usually sufficient. If so, you could require a longer therapy session as well as a maintenance schedule.

Symptoms

Symptoms of a yeast infection can be mild to moderate and include:

Itching and discomfort near the vulva's entrance as well as inside the vagina

a scorching feeling, particularly when urinating or having sex
