What kind of an infection is a yeast infection?

Answer 1

A vaginal yeast infection is a type of vaginitis - inflammation of the vagina - characterized by vaginal irritation, intense itchiness and vaginal discharge. A vaginal yeast infection affects your vagina and the tissues at the opening to your vagina (vulva). Vaginal yeast infection - also called vaginal candidiasis - is very common. As many as 3 out of 4 women experience a yeast infection at some point in their lifetimes. Many women experience two or more yeast infections.

What are vaginla yeast infection symtpoms?

Yeast infection symptoms can range from mild to moderate and include:

- Itching and irritation in the vagina and at the entrance to the vagina (vulva)

- A burning sensation, especially during intercourse or while urinating

- Redness and swelling of the vulva

- Vaginal pain and soreness

- Thick, white, odor-free vaginal discharge with a cottage cheese appearance

And yeast infection could be cured by herbal medicine "fuyan pill".

Answer 2

When we talk about a yeast infection in women we're normally talking about a vaginal/vulva yeast infection - although yeast infections can occur elsewhere in the body. The vagina/vulva naturally contains yeast which is normally kept under control by hydrogen peroxide produced by certain strains of bacteria (also naturally occurring in the vagina/vulva), sometimes flora is thrown off balance so the yeast are allowed to overgrow...and thus a yeast infection.

Fungal.
