A member asked:
Can a yeast infection turn into a disease?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Rarely if ever: By "turn into a disease", I suspect you're asking whether there are any complications or serious health problems from vaginal yeast infections. This could happen -- e.g. spread of yeast to the kidneys, or getting into the bloodstream (sepsis, "blood poisoning"). But these are extremely rare and occur only in people with other life threatening problems like advanced cancer on potent chemotherapy.
