# Yeast

> This test checks for the presence of yeast, a type of microscopic fungus, in a sample from your body. It helps determine if an overgrowth of yeast is the cause of symptoms like itching, irritation, or digestive issues. This result helps doctors distinguish between fungal infections and other conditions like bacterial infections. However, this test alone does not identify the specific species of yeast or diagnose the underlying health issue allowing the yeast to grow.
