During a yeast infection, discharge may become thicker and whiter because the vagina is shedding more epithelial and Candida cells.

在酵母菌感染期间，由于阴道脱落更多的上皮念珠菌，分泌物能会变稠变白。

You might have also heard yeast infections being called candidiasis, which is in reference to the most common yeast found in the vagina, Candida.

你能也听说过酵母感染被称为念珠菌病，在阴道中最常见的真菌——念珠菌。

And when the balance within the vagina is disrupted— like the pH increases or there are fewer microbes to compete with— Candida albicans may assume their disease-causing forms.

当阴道内的平衡被破坏时— — 比如 pH 值升高或与之竞争的微生物减少— —白色念珠菌能会呈现出它们的致病形式。
