INTRODUCTION: A vaginal yeast infection is usually caused by a fungus called Candida albicans which is normally found in small amounts in the vagina. While it is certainly not a pleasant experience, there’s no need to spend too much time worrying.

It may not kill you but a yeast infection can be really irritating. Yeast infection afflicts more women than men simply because of physical differences.

Seventy Five percent of women suffer from a yeast infection at one time in their life. The Candida Albicans yeast that is the start of an infection lives in the human body all the time, and this is why a yeast infection is so difficult to cure for a lot of women.
