Hello, Thank you for the question Vaginal yeast infection is most commonly caused by Candida Albicans.Several factors like hygeine,high blood sugar levels,recent use of antibiotics,lack of diet rich in probiotics etc can cause yeast infection. The prognosis is very good.Vaginal yeast infections clear up completely with treatment.In mild cases they clear up even without treatment. Along with medications some home remedies also help to clear the infection and prevent future episodes.Some of these include keeping the area clean and dry, wiping from front to back after using toilet, wearing cotton under wear, avoid tight fitting clothes ,eating food with probiotics( like yogurt) and do not use douches/vaginal sprays. Hope I answered your question regards lekshmi
