A yeast infection is a common infection caused by a type of fungus called candida albicans. Yeast infections usually happen in warm, moist parts of the body, like the mouth, or vagina. We all have candida in our bodies, but usually it's kept in balance.
What it is: A fungus called Candida albicans, which lives in the vagina as well as in the mouth and digestive tract and on the skin. Most of the time, it stays in check. But when thereâs an overgrowth of the fungus down there, a yeast infection flares up. Triggers: Be on the alert for a yeast infection when youâre on antibiotics, as they decrease the number of healthy bacteria in the vagina, allowing Candida to thrive. A yeast infection can also occur if youâre pregnant, obese or have diabetes.
