I have been in research and development for over 4 years. Vaginal yeast infections are caused by a fungus called Candida albicans.
Yeast infections can be very uncomfortable.
A white vaginal discharge that looks like cottage cheese. A burning pain during sexual intercourse. Swelling of the vulva. Three-fourths of all women will have one at some time in their lives. Half of women have more than one infection in their lives.
