What do you get female yeast infection from?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yourself: A vaginal yeast infection is really just an overgrowth of the yeast that is usually present in low numbers in the vagina. When that yeast overgrows, you begin to have the typical symptoms - discharge, itching, urinary frequency, pain with sex, etc.
