What is A Yeast Infection

Yeast infection is an infection caused by Candida Albicans, a yeast-like microorganism, in the vagina and vulva, or penis. Vulva is the area around the opening of the vagina.

Although yeast infection mostly takes place in the vagina area, it should not be confused with trichomoniasis or bacterial vaginosis. Trichomoniasis is an infection in the vagina caused by parasitic protozoa, whereas bacterial vaginosis is a type of sexually-transmitted disease caused by bacteria.

Candida Albicans lives in the digestive tract, mouth, throat, intestines and genitourinary tract. It is a useful part of the bowel flora that helps to fight harmful bacteria and other pathogen in the digestive tract. Candida Albicans become harmful only if it multiplies too fast, overgrowing due to certain condition in our body.
