Yeast infections can be somewhat scary for most women. Despite fear associated with yeast infections, there are very simple explanations and cures available. 
  •  Yeast infections are extremely common. 
  • 75% of  women will have a yeast infection at least once in their lives.
  • Yeast infections are simply a sign that there has been an increase in vaginal bacteria. 

There are a myriad of causes for this increase in bacteria, but most commonly women who are on antibiotics, pregnant, diabetic, or who are taking oral contraceptives are most at risk. Stress, poor diet, and tight fitting, "non-breathable" clothing may also encourage bacterial growth.

Prevention is the first step in protecting yourself against yeast infections. Beyond discussing risks with your doctor you should limit moisture and friction to prevent encouraging the growth of excess bacteria.

The most common symptoms include cottage cheese like discharge, burning, itching or soreness in the vaginal area.
