You shouldn’t sit and suffer through itchiness, irritation and burning sensations in your vaginal area. Do not try to treat yourself with home remedies and over the counter vaginal treatments that are only designed to treat the symptoms and not effectively clear up the yeast infection.
The most common symptoms of a vaginal yeast infection are itching, a feeling of irritation/swelling in the vagina or vulva, a burning sensation while having sex or urinating, redness of the vulva, vaginal pain/soreness, and a vaginal rash. You may also have a watery discharge, or a thick, white odorless discharge that resembles the consistency of cottage cheese.
Left untreated vaginal yeast infections usually do not clear up on their own. It may develop into a more complicated vaginal yeast infection such as extensive redness and swelling. If you have tried over the counter yeast treatments for the vagina with little results, it is likely that you need a prescription treatment for yeast infection.
