A member asked:
What is the difference between a yeast infection and a bacterial infection in the vagina? how different are the symptoms?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The difference is: A yeast infection is caused by yeast. The bacterial infection that i think you are referring to is not actually an infection. It's an imbalance of the vaginal flora/bacteria. Hope this clarifies.
