Introduction to Recurrent Yeast Infections
Recurrent yeast infections refer to repeated episodes of fungal infection affecting the genital area, usually caused by persistent or recurring overgrowth of _Candida_ species. Individuals experiencing recurrent infections may notice symptoms returning multiple times within a year, including itching, irritation, redness, and abnormal discharge.
