A vaginal yeast infection is a type of vaginitis — inflammation of the vagina — characterized by vaginal irritation, intense itchiness and vaginal discharge. A vaginal yeast infection affects your vagina and the tissues at the opening to your vagina (vulva).
Vaginal yeast infection — also called candidiasis — is very common. As many as 3 out of 4 women experience a yeast infection at some point in their lifetimes. Many women experience two or more yeast infections.
A vaginal yeast infection isn't considered a sexually transmitted disease, although the fungus that causes the condition can be spread through oral-genital contact. Treatment is usually effective, unless you have recurrent yeast infections — four or more in a single year. In that case, you may need a longer course of therapy and to follow a maintenance regimen.
Yeast infection symptoms range from mild to severe, including:
Itching and irritation in the vagina and at that entrance to the vagina (vulva) A burning sensation, especially during intercourse or while urinating Redness and swelling of the vulva Vaginal pain and soreness Thick, white, odor-free vaginal discharge with a cottage cheese appearanceWhen to see a doctor

Hi,
I had the same thing, it itched like hell for months, 4 months actually, and then I found herbal oiland it zinged the damned itch away. I just used it for 3 weeks, I think, and then it was gone. What I'd do is wash myself with toothpaste first, then apply the oil. The instant relief was heaven! I've been using it for nearly a month now and it's gotten better for me. There are no more small little bumps on my area, and the silky skin is back, so I'm happy!
