When a woman experiences extreme itching coupled with a burning pain in her vagina and notices a thick, white, odorless vaginal discharge, chances are she is having a vaginal infection. In fact, these symptoms are the tell-tale signs of vaginal yeast infection, a specific type of vaginitis (i.e. inflammation or swelling of the vagina due to irritation) that is very common among females. As much 75% of women have had a yeast infection at one point or another in their lives. Although many women also experience yeast re-infection, vaginal yeast infection is a highly treatable and preventable condition.
