Yeast are minute organisms, called candida fungus
that live on human body in small numbers.
The problem arises when their number grows. In the
vagina, its acidity prevents yeast from growing.
If the acidity of the vagina decreases due to any
reason, then too much yeast growth causes vaginal
yeast infection.
Both men and women can have yeast infection in any
part of the body such as underarms, nails, mouth ,
ganitals,and between toes. In women, it is very common
in vagina. Yeast infection is very uncomfortable and
irritable. Yeast infection may be due to diabetes,
pregnancy, lower body immunity, poor nutrition, and
some medications like antibiotics and birth control
pills.
