Vaginal Yeast Infection (Candida)
योनि में फंगल/यीस्ट संक्रमण (कैंडिडा)
A vaginal yeast infection (candida) causes intense itching, a thick white "cottage-cheese" discharge, and burning or soreness. It is very common, often after antibiotics, in pregnancy, or with diabetes. It is usually easily treated with antifungal creams or tablets. Recurrent infections, pregnancy, or uncertainty about the cause should be checked by a doctor, as other infections can look similar.
