Question: What is a Yeast Infectio!?n!?
Answers:
Well there are several types of yeast infections, but for a woman, the symptoms usually include an itchy whitish vaginal discharge!. It is usually caused by yeast allergies to things like bread, etc!. Sometimes a woman can get them when she takes a high dosage antibiotic for a long time which kills all the good bacteria that prevent yeast infections!.

One dirty little secret is that drinking beer or having sex with beer drinking men can give you a yeast infection!. For most women, your period should clear it out, eating yogurt with active cultures also helps!. If that doesn't work, there are several over the counter salves, and creams you can purchase in the pharmacy section of your local store!.

If you aren't sure what you have, it's best to consult a physician and get a prescription!. There is nothing wrong with not knowing what a yeast infection is!. I didn't know what it was, hadn't had one and hadn't heard of them until I was well in my twenties!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

A vaginal yeast infection is caused by an overproduction in the vagina!. It can occur if the vagina is not kept clean (like by not changing sanitary products for extended time periods), can be passed through sexual contact, by taking antibiotics!. It results in extreme itching of the vagina, produces a cottage cheese like discharge, and can be cured with an OTC, like Monistat!. If this is your first, go to your gyno or GP to make sure that is what it is and not an STD!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yeast is a fungus infection (it is different from bacterial or viral infection)!.

It is easily treatable!. Antibiotics do not help in treating yeast infection!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
