OverviewA vaginal yeast infection is the growth of too many yeast cells in the vagina. This is common in women of all ages. Itching, vaginal discharge and irritation, and other symptoms can bother you. But yeast infections don't often cause other health problems. Some medicines can increase your risk of getting a yeast infection. These include antibiotics, birth control pills, hormones, and steroids. You may also be more likely to get a yeast infection if you are pregnant, have diabetes, douche, or wear tight clothes. With treatment, most yeast infections get better in 2 to 3 days. Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor or nurse advice line (811 in most provinces and territories) if you are having problems. It's also a good idea to know your test results and keep a list of the medicines you take. How can you care for yourself at home?
