Um
What is a yeast infection?
Answer:Yeast is not bacteria at all but is a kind of fungus, just as mold is. There are different types of yeast infections. One pathogenic (disease producing) yeast is Candida albicans. Some others are Candida guilliermondii, krusei, lusitaniae, pseudotropicalis and stellatoidea (all preceeded by the name Candida). These other Candida cause endocarditis, peritonitis, Candida pneumonia, kidney, liver, spleen and lung yeast infections.
Some yeast infections are called candidiasis (CAN-duh-DYE-uh-sis). Yeast likes warm, moist, low-light environments. You may already be familiar with vulvovaginal candidiasis, an abnormal number of yeast in the vagina. There's also oral candidiasis, some call it thrush. There's esophageal candidiasis, or yeast infection of the esophagus; finger/toenail infection is onychomycosis. Other common yeast infections are diaper rash and intertrigo.
I hope I've been able to shed some light on this.
Oh, and incidentally, C. diff is a bacteria, NOT a yeast.
Va Jay Jay infection.Really gross
A yeast infection is an infection caused by the candidia aka yeast bacteria. It can be a vaginal yeast infection, athletes foot, thrush, c-diff, or yeast under the breast or in the groin or ringworm. These are all yeast infection. When the bad bacteria aka the yeast bacteria starts to grow it over powers the good bacteria causing a yeast infection of one kind or another. In vaginal yeast infection you have a thick clumpy aka cottage cheesy discharge and severe itching in the gential area.
Yeast spores are everywhere in the environment
When the find somwhere moist and warm,they multiply
So guess what is moist and warm?
This is natural and can be fixed with medication.
