@insidehealthlab4: A Yeast infection is more than just itching or discharge — it’s an overgrowth of Candida, a fungus that normally lives in the body in small amounts. When the balance of bacteria and yeast changes, Candida can multiply rapidly, leading to inflammation, irritation, burning, swelling, and thick discharge. Antibiotics, hormonal changes, high sugar levels, tight moisture-trapping clothing, and weakened immune balance can all trigger this overgrowth. Inside the body, the vaginal environment becomes inflamed as the immune system reacts to the excess yeast. That inflammation is what causes many of the uncomfortable symptoms women experience. Understanding what is happening internally helps explain why some infections keep coming back — and why treating the root triggers matters too.#yeastinfection #vaginalhealth #womenshealth #candida #hormonalhealth
