Yeast infection is also something which a good fraction of patients ignore initially but opt for some treatment when symptoms grow bigger than normal. Yeast infection is an infection which generally attacks women in the age group of 20 years to 35 years. The main cause of this infection is the imbalance in the strain of yeast in vagina.
