How do you know have a yeast infection?

Answer 1

Itchy down there, too moist, with white residue. Hot feeling (not in a nice way). I hear plain yogurt is a good home remedy. I haven't had one in forever, but last time I used monistat 3 (I don't trust the 1 day, and 7 days is too long). Good luck with that ;-)

Answer 3

While the posters are indeed correct about the itching and burning, most women 75% in America are familiar with yeast infections as vaginitis.

Yeast also manifests as athlete's foot, ringworm, jock itch, thrush, rashes and other symptoms.

Yeast finds fertile ground in persons who eat a lot of carbohydrates, or have "sweet" bodies, like diabetics and pre-diabetics. These people are the ones who are more likely to contract the systemic yeast infection.

A doctor can diagnose vaginitis from its symptoms. However, if you have a more serious condition, you would have to find a doctor that believes a person can have a systemic yeast infection.

The symptoms can be a localized intense itching or burning. That doesn't always happen, but sometimes the itching can be really bad. You will have a discharge that can be thin and clear or yellow to a thick, white, clumpy nasty mess that looks kinda like ricotta cheese. And it will smell like yeast.

When in doubt, have it checked out by a physician.
