Some symptoms of yeast infections are vaginal irritation, white or odorless discharge that is quite smelly, itching of the vagina, and more.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Yeast infections occur when the balance of the vagina is disrupted. Bacteria and yeast exist in the vagina, and their job is to keep each other balanced. The beneficial bacteria monitor the growth of yeast.
