Male athletes are commonly affected by jock itch because the fungi that cause this infection thrive in damp, closed environments.

BV (bacterial vaginosis) is the most common vaginal condition in women of childbearing age. Yeast infections (vaginal candidiasis) are the second most common type of vaginal infection.

Fungal infections are relatively common and usually not extremely harmful--they are often treatable with an over-the-counter antifungal cream at your local drug store.
