If you have extreme itching in the vaginal area, you may be suffering from a yeast infection. A yeast infection usually occurs in moist parts of the body such as the rectum, mouth, or vagina.

If you are wondering what may cause a yeast infection, there are many possible causes. One contributor to a yeast infection can be the wearing of constraining clothing during the summer. Other causes of yeast infections can be antibiotic treatments, a diabetes condition, or a pregnancy.

Do you think you have a yeast infection but are not sure. Well, if the area where you think you have an infection looks like ricotta cheese, that is one sign. The area where the infection is could also look irritated and might be colored yellow or clear.

Although yeast infection is more common in women, men can suffer from it as well.

What's the best way to treat a yeast infection? Well, there are many treatment options ranging from prescription medicines to over the counter drugs to natural treatments.

How do you learn more about yeast infections? There are many resources you could consult such as the Internet as you are doing now. Another resource many people do not think about is simply to stop by the reference desk at your local library. Of course, you can also consult your doctor but it is better to do some independent research on your own so you will be knowledgeable if you decide to seek the advice of a doctor.

Prescription medication is one obvious treatment approach for a yeast infection but most prescriptions from your pharmacy come with side effects. That's why it is better to seek a natural, less threatening approach first.

Natural remedies work better in many cases and are potentially less harmful to the body than prescriptions.
