In an interview with Zarafshan Shiraz of HT Lifestyle, Dr Disha Thakwani, Senior Consultant, Gynecologist at HCL Healthcare, said, “Yeast infections are caused by an overgrowth of the fungus Candida albicans in the vagina. While this fungus is naturally present in the vaginal flora, factors like antibiotic use, hormonal changes, or a weakened immune system can lead to its proliferation." She added, "Women with a yeast infection often experience itching, burning, and a thick, white, cottage cheese-like discharge. There might also be redness and swelling of the vulva. Over-the-counter antifungal creams or suppositories are usually effective. In recurrent cases, a longer course of treatment or oral antifungal medication might be prescribed.” [View More ➤](%2F%2Fsuvziparch.com%2Fcampaigns%2Fsh3966w9vh10d%2Ftrack-url%2Flx1191x7xwf5b%2Fae44bce98bb4d33ce18cc8ccf7b4c762bcbc2b81/2/0109018c7bc494dc-0e6fb7da-60dc-47c2-98ec-52f508a86cde-000000/2nDe1ky7oavASWVXPYEumPsdj1E=133) Please click on the following link to submit your request Click here to [Unsubscribe](%2F%2Fsuvziparch.com%2Fcampaigns%2Fsh3966w9vh10d%2Ftrack-url%2Flx1191x7xwf5b%2Fed1c4e86f165dc58fde24daa798257fc0d007936/1/0109018c7bc494dc-0e6fb7da-60dc-47c2-98ec-52f508a86cde-000000/795EmcZqNm_8u7DXcjemy7fSALw=133)
