Obviously when you get a yeast infection you would reasonably like to know that what you have are symptoms of yeast infection and not something else. To that end if you’re a first time sufferer you might be better off and feel more comfortable getting a proper medical diagnosis telling you that what you have are symptoms of yeast infection. And if you’re a recurring yeast sufferer although you might know by now from all the signs and the symptoms of yeast infection that what you have is an overgrowth of yeast, you might still feel better about it all if you get a checkup once in a while. Then again, you might be suffering from some other medical condition which has sufficiently weakened your system for you to get symptoms of yeast infection. Whatever the cause and whatever the case may be, it’s always a good idea to get the opinion from a fully qualified medical person who can put your mind at ease. You should also make it a habit to go to your doctor at least once in a while if you suffer from recurrent symptoms of yeast infection. You might know that what you have are symptoms of yeast infection, and you might be successfully treating each attack, but it can’t be denied that you’re getting repeated attacks. A quick run through to the doctor’s office might help to put you on the correct track to finally ridding yourself of the symptoms of yeast infection. This way you can also check back with your doctor to see if the medications and the treatments you’re taking are going to be in any way harmful to you. Having gotten that out of my system I feel that I can now continue on with the topic of this particular article, that of the symptoms of yeast infections. However, before I proceed any further, I would just like to say that no one person will get all of the symptoms of yeast infection mentioned here. You will get some of the symptoms of yeast infection, just not necessarily all of them, and not necessarily at the same time. The most common symptoms of yeast infection though is the first one that I mention, itching. But itching alone won’t prove that you have a yeast infection. There should be a few accompanying other symptoms of yeast infection to tell you that you have a suspected yeast infection. The symptoms of yeast infection aren’t all confined to vaginal yeast infections either. They can be found either singly or together in the cases of other yeast infections as well. So in a nutshell you could have; • Itching • Rash • Discharge – usually is an odorless white thick cottage cheese-like discharge • Burning sensation around the effected area • Pain during sexual intercourse • Burning sensation when passing urine • Soreness around the vagina • Redness around the effected area • Irritation of the vaginal area • Swelling of the vulva • Frequent urination Don’t under any circumstances clean out your vagina with a douche or any other way, before going to see your doctor for a diagnosis. This takes away any chance that the doctor might have in getting a proper sample from your vagina, thereby destroying any chance of a proper diagnosis. This holds true for any type of symptoms of yeast infection really. You might feel the need to be clean before you visit your doctor, but by washing away any traces of your symptoms of yeast infection before you go see your doctor you’re taking away the evidence they need to treat you properly. So if you have some of the symptoms of yeast infection, and you feel that you might have a yeast infection, consult your doctor first. You can get an accurate analysis that what you’re suffering from really are symptoms of yeast infection and you can take the steps needed to cure them. Another thing that I feel that I should mention is that most women will have some vaginal discharge midway before their menstruation cycle starts. This is mostly normal and if not accompanied by itching, then you probably don’t have symptoms of yeast infection.
