Best Answer

The cause of vaginal moniliasis is due to infection of yeast Candida Yeast infection occurs when the normal environment in the vagina changes. Sometimes the reason for this is unclear. Yeast infections can also occur with antibiotic use. A woman can develop a vaginal yeast infection if she has conditions that affect the immune system, such as Diabetes, HIV infection, or lupus. If yeast infections occur repeatedly, it may be a good idea for her to get a test for HIV infection and one for diabetes (if available). Symptoms: * Redness and burning sensation in the genital area * Vaginal pain during sexual intercourse * Burning sensation during urination * Internal or external genital itching * Clumped discharge resembling cottage cheese * Bread-like, "yeasty" odor from the genital area * Breaks in the skin when there is significant inflammation * Irritation of the cervix Complications: * Other than extreme discomfort from skin irritation in severe infections, there are no complications from vaginal yeast infections.
