Vaginal yeast infection, also known as candidal vulvovaginitis and vaginal thrush, is the excessive growth of yeast in the vagina that results in irritation. The most common symptom is vaginal itching, which may be severe.
A vaginal yeast infection isn’t considered a s3xually transmitted infection. But, there’s an increased risk of vaginal yeast infection at the time of first regular s3xual activity. There’s also some evidence that infections may be linked to mouth to genital contact (oral-genital s3x).
