Yeast infection is like a ghost waiting to scare young and older women when their body becomes out of balance due to stress, dubious partners, hormonal changes and/or immune system weakness. A few women will elude this voracious monster but unfortunately most will be frightened at least twice in their life and others will live with a chronic reoccurrence of yeast infection.

Candidiasis (also called fungus, a yeast infection or moniliasis) is the most common type of vaginal infection. It is caused by the yeast organism, Candida. Candidiasis is often hard to get rid of and recurrences are common. Many women with this infection do not notice a discharge, but if present, it is usually described as an odorless, white and “cheesy” discharge. If the physical exam and lab tests reveal the presence of candidiasis, your doctor will prescribe medication to destroy the fungus causing the problem. This may include vaginal suppositories, tablets, cream or gel applications into the vagina. The medication may be somewhat messy and you may need to wear a sanitary napkin during treatment. Your doctor will advise you in detail about what is involved. In most cases, candidiasis will be cured with treatment. However, the infection resists treatment in some women, especially pregnant and diabetic women, and a cure may take some time. Conditions that spur the growth of candidiasis will also need to be changed in order to get rid of the vaginal infection completely.

Wear comfortable clothes, avoid acrylic undergarments. Cotton clothes and cotton undergarments are the best choice. Another important thing apart from wearing cotton clothes is wear properly washed, dry clothes.
