If a woman believes she is experiencing signs of infection for the
first time, she should see the doctor immediately if she is unsure of
the treatment. The doctor will know the proper diagnosis for this
type of infection.
Many people ask what the common yeast infection symptoms are. A woman
can tell if she suffering if she has a thick vaginal discharge which
looks a little like a cottage. But this symptom can be experienced by
only about 20% of women who have yeast infections. The discharge may
contain a starchy be yellow in color.
In view of the fact that not all women experience a discharge, the
easiest way to tell if a woman has yeast infection is if she
experiences itchiness in and around her vagina. The itchiness may go
hand in hand with a burning sensation. The outer area and the vulva
area can become swollen and red, this can result in painful urination
and sexual intercourse may also be painful too.
These are the most common and general symptoms of yeast infection,
but a woman may experience different symptoms. The best way to
determine is by checking for changes in discharge.
Sometimes, a yeast infection may be mistaken as a urinary tract
infection, but there is a difference between the two in terms of the
burning sensation experienced. In a urinary tract infection, a woman
can feel the burning when urine passes down the urethra when it is on
its way out, this is different to yeast infections when the burning
is caused as the acidic urine hits the irritated skin of the vulva.
It may be quite hard to tell whether you have a yeast infection or a
urinary tract infection if you are experiencing symptoms for the
first time. It is advisable to see a doctor if any of these signs
appear. After you have been diagnosed, the next time you experience
burning and itchiness, you will be better placed to know whether it
is a yeast infection or a urinary tract infection.
Men are also susceptible suffering with yeast infections although it
is unusual for men to develop them they are normally passed on from
their female partners. Therefore, it is essential that if you or your
partner develops a yeast infection you refrain from unprotected sex
until you have both sought treatment. The danger is when only one
partner seeks treatment, as the infection can be passed back and
forth. For men, yeast infection symptoms can be identified through an
itching, red rash and burning at the head of his
penis.
