is Vaginitis the same as a yeast infection?
Question by WhipperSnapper: is Vaginitis the same as a yeast infection?
I’m doing a report or candida albicans which causes yeast diseases and symptoms (i.e yeast infections) so I was wondering if vaginitis is the same as yeast infections. Can you let me know?

No, they’re not the same.
A yeast infection isn’t a disease it’s an infection caused when the natural yeast within the body overgrow, where as vaginitis is a more general irritation of the vulva – this can be caused by a yeast infection, bacterial vaginosis, trichomoniasis or general irritation from contact with chemicals such as soaps.
