Yeast infections are caused by an overgrowth of the Candida fungus, which normally lives in the vagina in small amounts. The following are some of the common indications of a yeast infection:
Itching and irritation in the vaginal area
Burning sensation during urination or intercourse
Swelling and redness of the vulva
Thick, white, odorless discharge resembling cottage cheese
Pain or discomfort during sex
Soreness or rash on the outer part of the vagina
If you experience any of these symptoms, it is recommended to visit your healthcare provider to confirm the diagnosis and receive appropriate treatment.
