Although the best way to be sure you have yeast infection is to consult a doctor, following are some of the symptoms that may indicate having the infection :
Vaginal itching that can get so bad it disables you from doing your regular activities
Burning sensation in the vagina or vulvar area
White vaginal discharge that looks like cottage cheese
Painful sexual intercourse because of vaginal inflammation
Vaginal odor that smells like yeast
Painful or frequent urination in some cases
Take note that some other forms of infection may demonstrate the same symptoms of yeast infection:
Bacterial infection. As with yeast infection, symptoms include vulvar itching or pain. But unlike the discharge in yeast infection, bacterial infection discharge is color green or brown and will smell like fish rotting.
UTI or urinary tract infection. UTI is sometimes accompanied by fever, which does not hold true for yeast infection. Burning pain when urinating, pain in the lower abdomen and sometimes blood or mucus in the urine may accompany urinary tract infection but not yeast infection.
Although it is possible that men with yeast infection may have no symptoms at all, the most common symptom is an itch around the penis and a burning sensation during urination. Although yeast infection is not considered as a sexually transmitted disease, this infection can be transmitted through sexual intercourse. Preventive measures such as using of condoms is advisable.
After reading these symptoms I have determine that many of people around us are suffering from these problems.I want to appreciate author so that it has taken some steps in the direction to educate people in this context.
