Quiz on Yeast Infection

Introduction:

Thrush is a yeast infection that can occur in any part of the body. It is most commonly seen at the opening of the vagina (vulva). You may acquire white, raised, cottage cheese-like lesions (spots) in the infected areas. Thrush or yeast infection occurring in the oral cavity or mouth is known as oral thrush or oral candidiasis; in the esophageal region, it is known as esophageal candidiasis; if it occurs in both the vulva and the vagina, it is known as vulvovaginal candidiasis; and infection in the vagina is known as vaginal candidiasis or vaginal thrush.

There is no doubt that thrush is quite prevalent, but how well do you know it?
