The dreaded yeast infection; the all-encompassing total pain in the pants! Most women will have experienced a yeast infection at some point in their lives, in fact, both the Mayo Clinic and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) report that 3 out of 4 women (75%) will experience a yeast infection during their life.1,2
These bothersome infections, also referred to as vulvovaginal candidiasis, can affect not only the vagina but the outer skin of the genitals called the vulva.1,2They can be caused by a variety of candida species, however, are most commonly caused by the species, C. albicans and are typically responsive to treatment.1.2
Vaginal yeast infections are caused by a disruption in the naturally occurring biome of the vagina including a harmonious balance of good and bad bacteria.1 Things that can lead to the disruption of this balanced environment include things like antibiotic use, pregnancy, uncontrolled diabetes, immune dysfunction, hormonal therapy including birth control pills and sex.1 At times, these yeast infections can be passed to the mouth when there is contact between the mouth and the genitals during sex and there are currently no recommendation to treat sexual partners unless they too are symptomatic of a yeast infection.2
While most women experience what is referred to as uncomplicated yeast infections, some women will experience more severe symptoms, recurrent infections, are pregnant, diabetic, immunocompromised or an infection with another form of yeast such as Candida glabrata and are typically referred to as having a complicated yeast infection.1,2
