Most vaginal yeast infections are caused by the organism Candida albicans. Yeast infections are very common and affect up to 75% of women at some point in their lifetime. The main symptom of a vaginal yeast infection is itching, but burning, discharge, andpain with urination or intercourse can also occur. The imbalance that allows the overgrowth of yeast to happen can be due to: antibiotics (they lower the amount of lactobacillus, or good bacteria, in the vagina) pregnancy uncontrolled diabetes weak immune system poor eating habits, including a lot of sugary foods hormonal imbalance near your menstrual cycle stress lack of sleep. *Frequent symptoms include: itching burning large or small amounts of vaginal discharge, often whitish gray and thick (although there are also times the discharge can be watery) pain during sex soreness rash.
