Vulvovaginal candidiasis is a yeast infection of the vulva and vagina.
Most women notice from time to time that they have a discharge from the vagina. This is a normal process which keeps the mucous lining of the vagina moist. The discharge is usually clear but may dry on underclothes leaving a faint yellowish mark. This type of discharge does not require any medication. It occurs most commonly if the woman is pregnant, taking antibiotics or is diabetic.
