What is Yeast Infection Test?

A yeast test can help you determine if you have a yeast infection. Yeast is a type of fungus that can be found on your skin, genitals, mouth, and intestines (gut).

Yeast does not normally cause problems. However, if yeast grows uncontrollably, it can cause a bothersome infection that requires treatment. A yeast infection is rarely dangerous if you are otherwise healthy. A yeast infection, on the other hand, can be deadly in people with compromised immune systems. It can harm the blood, heart, brain, eyes, bones, and other organs. This is referred to as an invasive yeast infection.
