Yeast/fungus
Yeast is a type of fungus naturally present in the human body, particularly in the gut and on the skin. In normal amounts, it is harmless and part of the healthy microbiome. However, an imbalance can lead to overgrowth, which may cause various health problems. Factors such as diet, antibiotic use, and overall health can affect yeast levels.
