YEAST INFECTION

A woman can get a YEAST INFECTION in her VAGINA when small amounts of yeast that normally grow there go out of control. YEAST INFECTIONS are treatable with medicine. Yeast can grow faster if a person takes antibiotics or birth control pills for a long time, has an allergy to yeast, or changes their diet and eats a lot of sugar. A common SYMPTOM of a YEAST INFECTION is a white, thick, fluid coming out of their VAGINA, but many women with YEAST INFECTIONS have no SYMPTOMS.
