What is a Yeast Infection?
A vaginal yeast infection, also known as vulvovaginal candidiasis, is a common fungal infection that affects women. It is primarily caused by the overgrowth of a fungus called Candida albicans, which is normally present in the vagina in small quantities. Factors such as hormonal changes, weakened immune system, antibiotic use, pregnancy, diabetes, and certain lifestyle choices can contribute to the imbalance that leads to yeast overgrowth.

What Is A Yeast Infection?
A yeast infection, or vulvovaginal candidiasis, is a fungal overgrowth, usually caused by Candida albicans. Factors like hormonal changes, antibiotic use, or a weakened immune system can disturb the natural balance in the vagina, leading to this common condition.
Common Symptoms of a Yeast Infection:
Itching and irritation in the vaginal area
Burning sensation, especially during urination
Abnormal, thick, white discharge resembling cottage cheese
Swelling and redness around the vulva
Discomfort or pain during sexual intercourse
Criteria for Antifungal Treatment:
If you've experienced recurrent yeast infections or have recognized symptoms aligning with a yeast infection, our healthcare professionals may recommend antifungal treatment. The decision may also take into account your medical history and any potential contraindications.
Common Prescription Medications & Side Effects:
Prescription antifungal medications such as fluconazole may be recommended.
While generally well-tolerated, side effects can include nausea, headache, and abdominal pain. It's important to be aware of any potential interactions with other medications. In rare cases, serious side effects may occur, and patients are advised to seek medical attention promptly.
Over-the-Counter Treatments:
For mild cases, over-the-counter antifungal creams and suppositories can be effective. However, if symptoms persist or recur, a consultation with a healthcare professional is recommended.
Preventing Vaginal Yeast Infections:
Maintain good personal hygiene
Wear breathable cotton underwear
Avoid excessive use of antibiotics
Manage underlying health conditions, such as diabetes
Limit the use of scented feminine hygiene products
