VAGINAL YEAST INFECTION !! (CANDIDIASIS )

What is yeast infection? A vaginal yeast infection is a fungal infection that causes irritation, discharge and intense itchiness of the vagina and the vulva — the tissues at the vaginal opening.
It's a type of vaginitis, or inflammation of the vagina.
Vaginal yeast infection (also called vaginal candidiasis) affects up to 3 out of 4 women at some point in their lifetimes.

Symptoms
Yeast infection symptoms can range from mild to moderate and include:
A) Itching and irritation in the vagina and the tissues at the vaginal opening (vulva).
B) A burning sensation, especially during intercourse or while urinating.
C) Redness and swelling of the vulva.
D) Vaginal pain and soreness.
E) Vaginal rash.
F) Watery vaginal discharge.
G) Thick, white, odor-free vaginal discharge with a cottage cheese appearance.
H) Swelling of the vaginal lips
I) Pain during sexual intercourse
J) Pain while urinating

Who is prone to a yeast infection?
Pregnant women, diabetics and those undergoing hormonal therapy are highly susceptible to yeast infections.

STDs (especially HIV), oral contraceptives are all contributing risk factors.

Can a yeast infection be transmitted through sex?

Yes, although this is not always the case. The possibility of transmission through sex exists but this is rare. Still, a yeast infection cannot be considered a sexually transmitted infection (STI) because even a person who is sexually inactive can become infected. If you or your partner have a yeast infection, it is advisable to avoid all sexual contact until completely cured. Otherwise, you will simply keep passing the infection to and fro between yourselves. Men too can get a yeast infection but this is not very common.
