Vaginal yeast infection
Three out of four women suffer from yeast infections. What is it about? What are the symptoms and causes? What, on the other hand, are the treatments? Getting informed correctly on this topic is necessary to understand how to behave when you feel: itching, burning or swelling in the private parts. However, it must be pointed out immediately that this infection does not constitute a serious and dangerous health condition for the one who contracts it.
First of all when we talk about this type of problem, especially female, we refer to a localized infection especially in the vagina and caused by a yeast called Candida albicans.
This fungus is normally present in the human body. It usually lives in humid and hot environments such as: the mouth, throat, esophagus, gastrointestinal tract and genitals. As we have already pointed out, it is a harmless fungus for the individual. In addition to this, the good bacteria present in our body usually prevent its proliferation. Under certain conditions it can become pathogenic and affect the mucous membranes.
What does this all mean? A pathogenic fungus is nothing more than an organism capable of causing disease in humans. How? Through uncontrolled proliferation. This happens when the control systems of this fungus fail and the latter takes advantage of it to 'expand'.
In general, vaginal candida is also known as: vulvovaginal candida and vaginal candidiasis.
This type of infection occurs mainly shortly before the menstrual cycle or in other certain conditions. As we have said, it mainly affects women, but it is possible that men are also infected. Male sexual partners of women with vaginal infections, for example, can contract male candida.
