What is the medical term meaning condition also known as vaginal thrush or a yeast infection?
The vagina naturally contains bacteria and yeast, an acidic pH kills 'bad' bacteria and allows 'good' bacteria to thrive - some of this 'good' bacteria produces hydrogen peroxide to keep yeast under control. Sometimes vaginal pH and flora can be thrown off balance, making it easier for yeast to multiply - for example if a woman uses soap to wash her vulva, this can change pH so cause imbalance in vaginal flora. Yeast is also a fungus so likes warm moist environments, thus things like women wearing tight synthetic clothing can increase risk of developing a yeast infection, and yeast like sugar so a high-sugar diet can increase yeast infections too.
