Yeast Infection Treatment

Yeast is a fungus scientifically referred to as Candida. There is no
direct evidence that it is passed. Yeast infections are likely to
affect three out of four women at least once in their lifetime. These
fungi live on all surfaces of our bodies. Under certain conditions,
they can become so numerous they cause infections, particularly in
warm and moist areas. Examples of such infections are Yeast

vulva. It is caused by an overgrowth of the fungus or yeast Candida.

yeast infection during their lives. And almost half of women have two
or more yeast infections. These infections enter into the bloodstream
through breakdowns or cuts in the skin or mucous membranes....
