Yeast infections are acquired from, antibiotic therapy, diabetes, increase change of getting yeast infection if you wear nylon panties, rather than cotton, for nylon holds in moisture, & body heat. Symptoms, are mild itching at first, advancing quickly with in about 24 to 48 hours, severe itching, whitish discharge, fungal growth on outside of vagina, smells sort of like onions, and looks like thick, whitish to yellowish substance. Easily treated with monitstat, or diflucan the later needs a prescribition from your physician. Also eating yogourt with live cultures helps tremendously, this restores the normal flora to your vaginal area, also drinking buttermilk, for it has active live good bacteria culturles in it also. Thanks for the opportunity to answer your question.
VAGINA ITCH ALSO, COULD COME UNDER YOUR STOMACHE…ITS GOT A ODOR TOO , RED ., SORE !!
every body contains good bacteria and bad bacteria. from what i understand, a yeast infection is caused by a over growing of yeast bacteria, which is why it is commonly brought on after taking antibiotics. they kill the baceria that keep the yeast from growing out of control. there are many over the counter meds you can take for it.
The main source is antibotics.
Symptons are itching and burning, also redness.
The fastest cure is Monistat 1.
Hope that helps
yeast infections happen when there is a change in the pH around your vulvar/ vagina.. the normal yeast that lives there gets disturbed. stress, pregnancy, diabetes and certain antibiotic treatments are some of the most common causes of a yeast infection. some signs and symptoms include itching, redness/ burning sensation around the vulvar, yellow/ fishy smell discharge.
the more you scratch, the worst it gets and feels.
I never get the discarge I just get sever itch and my skin starts to crack. Make sure if you have more then 3 in a year to talk to Doc you may have a serious prob. Like staph infection.
