No one wants a yeast infection. But three quarters of women will get one at some point.
All women have healthy yeast in their vaginas. But when too much grows, vaginal infection can result. When the vagina’s normally acidic and protective pH is thrown off, excess yeast can build up, causing an infection.
All kinds of irritants can cause vaginal pH to become imbalanced, including pregnancy, some birth control methods, antibiotics, and unfortunately, sex.
Symptoms of a yeast infection often include lumpy cottage cheese like discharge with an unusual odor. Swelling of the vagina, pain during intercourse, and itching and burning are also signs. Once a doctor diagnoses a yeast infection, it is easy to clear up using over-the-counter medication. Or a one time prescription pill called Diflucan can also cure the problem.
But avoid sex while you are getting better since there is a slight chance you can pass the condition to your partner. The good news is that side stepping future infections can often be as easy as wearing cotton panties and avoiding scented products down below.
