A yeast infection commonly known as candida
is an infection caused by too many yeast cells, usually
in moist areas of the body. Everyone has yeast all
over the body and sometimes the cells can multiply
and become so many an infection will grow. The most
common types if yeast infections are in the vaginal
area.
If the acidity level in the vagina changes then yeast
can grow and cause an uncomfortable itch. The acids
found in the vaginal canal kill yeast cells and keep
their population down. Yeast infections are also common
in young babies as there is a lot of moisture in diapers.

Symptoms of a Yeast Infection
If someone has a yeast infection they will notice
painful burning in the vaginal area. Sexual activity
will become more painful to perform and a 'cottage
cheese' like discharge will come from the vaginal
opening. The vulva area may swell up as well and become
very painful. Yeast
infections are very common in women and can be
caused by many things. Birth control is one of these
contributors. Men can give women a yeast infection
through intercourse as it is more common in the male
and sperm can be a contributing factor. It is important
to see a doctor to ensure that what may be thought
of as a yeast infection is not an sexually transmitted
infection.
Taking Baths
Bathing is a huge cause for a women and children. Bathing causes a lot of moisture to sit in the vaginal canal for a long period of time. The baths women and children take ca upset the balance of acidity in the vagina making more moisture and cells to multiply. Any scented products such as feminine wipes, baby wipes and tampons can also cause a yeast infection. Try not to bathe too much and if bathing is a must for a child do not add bubbles as this is where a yeast infection can start.
