Why can appear as a highlight white flakes

Such isolation (they are also called curd) are often a sign of vaginal candidiasis or thrush - a disease caused by the yeast genus Candida. The disease is not always the result of infection, very often it is caused by fungi own, which constantly live on the mucous membranes of the genital tract, with a decrease in immunity.

It is possible that in addition to fungi of the genus Candida will show up, and other infectious agents, of bacterial origin (eg, gonorrhea - it may well take place hidden), intracellular pathogens infections (chlamydia, ureaplasma, mycoplasma) or protozoa (trichomoniasis).

How else appears thrush in women

Thrush often begins with burning and itching in the genital area. Do not notice this symptom is not possible, because it is usually very concerned about women.
