Yeast infections are common, usually localized, infections of the vagina.
The main symptoms are severe vaginal and vulvar itching, and a white, cheesy discharge with a sweetish odor. Increase in yeast can be caused by pregnancy, hormones and oral contraceptives, elevated blood sugar, antibiotic therapy to treat an unrelated infection, sexual intercourse and improper hygiene. While yeast infections could lead to a secondary infection that could contribute to pelvic inflammatory disease, yeast infections tend to stay in the vagina and are treated easily. 882-7000 to make an appointment with a University of Missouri Health Sciences Center physician.
