Yeast Infections

Yeast Infections

The scientific term for yeast is Candida. Yeast is a fungus that can live almost anywhere including in your body. Yeast is usually kept under control by your immune system. It can multiply and cause an infection if you are sick or on antibiotics.

Different parts of the body can be affected by yeast in different ways:

  • Yeast infections of the skin can cause rashes and itchiness
  • Women can get vaginal yeast infections causing itchiness, pain and discharge
  • Thrush is a yeast infection that causes white patches in your mouth
  • Candida esophagus is thrush that spreads to your esophagus which can make it painful or hard to swallow
  • Yeast infections in your bloodstream can be life-threatening
