Vaginal yeast infections are a common condition caused by the overgrowth of Candida, a type of fungus naturally present in the vaginal flora. Symptoms include itching, burning, discomfort during intercourse, and a thick, white vaginal discharge that resembles cottage cheese. While yeast infections are not considered sexually transmitted infections, they can cause significant discomfort and disruption to daily life. Treatment typically involves antifungal medications, available in both over-the-counter and prescription forms, such as creams, suppositories, or oral pills.
