Yeast Infection Treatment
A vaginal yeast infection happens when a fungus called Candida grows too much. Candida usually lives in your body without causing problems. But when it’s out of balance, it multiplies quickly and leads to a yeast infection.
A yeast infection can cause burning, itching and redness in your vulva and changes to your vaginal discharge. It isn’t a sexually transmitted infection (STI).
Another name for a vaginal yeast infection is vaginal candidiasis. Up to 3 in 4 women will have a yeast infection at least once in their lives. About half of all women will get two or more. They’re most common after puberty and before menopause.
