Yeast infection, also known as candidiasis (pronounced: can-dih-die-uh-sis), is the name for a common infection caused by a yeast called candida albicans (a type of fungus). Candida can overgrow for many reasons, stress, pregnancy, and illnesses to name a few. It usually occurs in warm, moist parts of the body, such as the mouth and moist areas of skin. Some certain medicines tend to trigger it as well.
