@healthher_academy: Candidiasis (commonly known as a yeast infection) is a fungal infection caused by a type of yeast called Candida, most frequently Candida albicans. Candida normally lives harmlessly on the skin and inside the body (in places like the mouth, throat, gut, and vagina) without causing any issues. However, if the environment changes or your immune system is slightly compromised, it can multiply rapidly and cause an infection. Symptoms 👉Intense itching or soreness in the vagina and vulva, 👉burning during urination or sex, and a thick, 👉white, odorless discharge (often described as looking like cottage cheese). Common Triggers An overgrowth can be triggered by a few common factors: Antibiotics: Broad-spectrum antibiotics kill off the good bacteria that naturally keep yeast levels in check. Hormonal Changes: Increased estrogen levels (from pregnancy or high-dose birth control pills) can disrupt the vaginal balance. Uncontrolled Diabetes: Elevated blood sugar levels provide a food source for the yeast, encouraging growth. Moisture Trapping: Wearing tight, non-breathable clothing or staying in wet activewear for too long creates the perfect warm, humid environment for fungi. ..................... ..................... #femalehealth #viralvideo #womenhealth #infection #fyp
