&lt;h1&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;FAQs on Vaginal Yeast Infection Symptoms and Treatment&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h1&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Most women are pronged to vaginal yeast infection (candidiasis) at least once in their lifetime. A study has estimated that up to 75 out of 100 women will get this infection. Candida is a fungus that causes this infection. Candida can be found in our body and thrive in a moist environment such as the vagina, throat, skin, anus, and around the foreskin.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;What do you need to know about this common infection? We have compiled a series of FAQs that we got asked a lot.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is a yeast infection?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Yeast is a fungus normally found on your skin. It&amp;rsquo;s also found in your digestive system. If you&amp;rsquo;re a woman, you also have yeast in your vaginal area. When too much yeast grows on your skin or other areas, it can cause an infection.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What are the main causes of yeast infection in females?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;How do you get a yeast infection? It is important to understand the main causes of vaginal yeast infection. A fungus called Candida Albicans is responsible for most cases of vaginal yeast infections.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;When there is a change in the balance of the bacterial flora or pH of the vagina, it can lead to infection or inflammation of the vagina. This includes an overgrown fungus (candida).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Overgrown candida can be the result of pregnancy, use of antibiotics, impaired immune system, hormonal imbalance, uncontrolled diabetes, sexual activity, use of vaginal wash and douches, or even wearing tight pants or underwear.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What are the causes of a yeast infection in a woman?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Yeast cells may multiply rapidly in the vagina when the balance of healthy bacteria is disrupted. Several factors that can contribute to an infection include:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;The use of antibiotics, which reduce the amount of beneficial bacteria in the body&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Unmanaged diabetes&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Exposure to irritants like douching products, spermicide, soaps, powders, or deodorants&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Wearing tight clothing or synthetic fabrics, such as swimsuits and activewear&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;A weakened immune system&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Pregnancy&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Hormonal fluctuations around the menstrual cycle&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;How do I know if I have a yeast infection?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;One of the most common symptoms of vaginal yeast infection is having thick, white, odor-free discharge with a cottage cheese appearance accompanied by other symptoms such as:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Itching and irritation in the vaginal and vulva&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Redness and swelling of the vulva&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Burning sensation during sexual intercourse or while urination&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Vaginal pain and soreness&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Vaginal rash&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Watery vaginal discharge&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Vaginal discharge that has a cottage cheese appearance&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;If you have one or more than one symptoms, please visit our doctor for an assessment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;If you are someone with uncontrolled diabetes, a weakened immune system, or have a frequent yeast infection you are more vulnerable to complicated yeast infections.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Could that be a yeast infection if I have an abnormal vaginal discharge and vaginal odor?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Having an abnormal vaginal discharge doesn&#39;t mean that you have a vaginal yeast infection. An abnormal vaginal discharge is one of the most common symptoms of vaginitis (vulvovaginitis).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Vaginitis is an inflammation or infection of the vaginal, and it is common in women during their reproductive years. Vaginitis can itch, discharge, pain, and odor. There are different types of vaginitis, and vaginitis has different causes, symptoms, and treatments.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.pulse-clinic.com.my/bacterial-vaginosis&quot;&gt;Bacterial vaginosis (BV)&lt;/a&gt; is caused by an imbalance of &quot;good&quot; and &quot;bad&quot; bacteria in the vaginal. It is not a sexually transmitted infection, but it can increase your risk of getting other sexually transmitted infections such as Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, or Trichomoniasis. People with Bacterial vaginosis may experience off-white, grey, or greenish vaginal discharge with a fishy smell.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Yeast infection (Candidiasis) is caused by an overgrowth of candida in the vaginal. Yeast infection can cause thick, white, odor-free vaginal discharge with a cottage cheese appearance.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Trichomoniasis (Trich) is caused by a parasite called (Trichomonas vaginalis). Trichomoniasis is one of the common sexually transmitted infections. You may experience yellow-green or gray discharge from the vagina with an unpleasant smell.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #ff99cc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Can you get a yeast infection from having sex?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;Yes, it is not uncommon that yeast infection can be transmitted to your partner through sex. Men can get infected with penile yeast infection if they engage in sexual intercourse with an infected female partner. Likewise, a female can get a vaginal yeast infection from an infected male during sexual intercourse.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;In general, it is also possible to contract yeast infection via oral sex when you encounter a person with a vaginal yeast infection or penile yeast infection. Sex toys can also transmit the infection.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #99ccff;&quot;&gt;It is important to consider taking a break from sexual activity with your sexual partner to prevent the transmission of this infection back and forth until you and your partner are recovered.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
