Yeast infection usually is cause by over population of Candida Albicans in the vagina, rectum, and mouth. While it is known to be a women health issue, men also can contract a yeast infection, if they have unprotected sexual activity with a partner who has a yeast infection (NOTE: Yeast infection IS NOT a STD).
Factors that may contribute to development of yeast infection are as follow:
•Antibiotic treatments (it is recommended while taking antibiotic to eat plain yogurt having “active Yeast” as one of its ingredients)
•Oral contraceptives
•Hot weather or non-ventilating clothing, which increase moisture and warmth, fostering fungal growth
•Repeated intercourse over a short period of time
•Stress
•Suppressed immune system (including HIV)
•High carbohydrate intake, especially refined sugars and alcohol
•Pregnancy
•Diabetes
•In cases, it has been observed that certain types of soaps, powders, new detergents and other products which cause irritation.
While there are many over counter medication to treat Yeast Infection, it is always advised to see a physician to ensure the symptoms are only yeast infection and nothing else. Note that there are other health problems, including a few STDs which have similar symptoms, thus they should be ruled out ASAP.
Is a yeast infection dangerous?

Are you sure it is a yeast infection? I would see your doctor and check for other possible illnesses. They can do a test to determine if yeast is the problem or if it it something else. I doubt it is cancer; but if you have a discharge, it could be an STD, and you can be tested for those.

Yes but it wont lead to Ovarian Cancer - it could lead to infertility. It can also spread and cause a more widespread infection.
You should treat fungal infections immediately.
