What is a Vaginal Yeast Infection?

A vaginal yeast infection is an infection in the vaginal area caused from an overgrowth of yeast.  Yeast is naturally found in the vaginal area of all women but when too many yeast cells are present, it results in an aggravating itch and burn.  A yeast infection is a common problem that women share.  They can keep you from sleeping at night because of the itching and burning, and cause you to be uncomfortable all day long, until you can get it cured. 

Taking antibiotics is a common reason that women get a yeast infection.  If you have been on a regimen of antibiotic drugs and you start to itch in your vaginal area, with or without a cottage cheese like substance, you more than likely are suffering from a yeast infection.  Antibiotic drugs are notorious for killing off the good bacteria that keeps the yeast cells under control in the vaginal area.

Most doctor’s will tell you either get the suppository creams from a pharmacy, like Monistat, or they will prescribe a pill called Diflucan.  These methods may work in the short term, but knowing how to keep the yeast in your body in check all the time will keep you from getting a yeast infection in the first place.
