The signs of a yeast infection can vary, but common symptoms include:
Itching and irritation in the vaginal area
Redness and swelling of the vulva
Pain or discomfort during sex or urination
Thick, white discharge that may resemble cottage cheese
Burning or soreness in the vaginal area
Rash or soreness on the skin surrounding the vaginal area
It’s important to note that some women may experience no symptoms, while others may have more severe symptoms. If experiencing any of these symptoms, it’s important to talk to a healthcare provider. Yeast infections can be easily treated with over-the-counter or prescription medications, but other conditions, such as sexually transmitted infections, can have similar symptoms and require different treatment.
