INFO:

Vaginal yeast infections occur when the yeast that normally grows in the vagina overwhelms the healthy bacteria that is also present. Sometimes home remedies and anti-fungal medications can stop yeast infections and their uncomfortable symptoms. When vaginal itching and irritation do not resolve, it may indicate you have a chronic yeast infection. Many factors can be responsible for chronic yeast infections. Your doctor can identify the cause, recommend the best treatment, and suggest ways to keep yeast infections from recurring. See your doctor if you experience chronic yeast infections.
