Yeast Infection Signs - What are They
Author: Frederic MadoreAs you may or may not know you could be suffering from a
yeast infection without even knowing it or else you could totally mistake it for something else. Knowing what the yeast infection signs are could help you discover whether you have a yeast infection or not. Although you must be aware that sometimes these signs are the same as some other infections.
So the first thing you should do is consult your doctor if you think you have some or all of the yeast infection signs. First this will inform you whether you are infected or not and if you are this will help you determine what is the proper
medication for you.
If you find out you have all the yeast infection signs and decide that you want to get rid of it yourself then there is a lot of possibilities available to you. First there are of course medications like Monistat available but there is also other natural ways to get rid of a yeast infection.
For some people using medication (like Monistat) will work but not in the long run. You see by using it over and over, you are making your body used to it, and in turn immune to it. The side effect of this is when you will really need it won't work for you anymore. Therefore using more natural methods can be the solution for you.
Some of the yeast infection sings are the following:
- rash
- itching
- burning sensation
- vaginal discharge
-
pain during sexual intercourse
- redness and soreness of the irritated area
- swelling of the vulva
Probably the most unbearable symptoms of all the yeast infection signs is that of the itching. The worst part is that it can interfere with your daily life. Using medication that can give you instant relief is probably the best way to go.
Some of the thing you can do to help yourself getting rid of the hitching would be to employ something like Aloe Vera Juice; you just need to apply a little bit on the affected area with a cotton pad.
Other yeast infection signs like the burning sensation when urinating or the pain you might feel during sexual intercourse can interfere with your daily life. You should always threat those symptoms as fast as possible as they could herald other
medical conditions.
One other yeast infection signs that can cause problem is the vaginal discharge. It can cause you problems (not all the time). Depending on the scent and texture of the discharge you may need to take steps to help yourself.
The Vaginal Discharge can be like:
- odourless and thin milky-like
- strong and pungent scent
- yeasty or sulphuric in nature
- different consistency (from thin milk-like to cottage Cheese-like)<
You should always consider yeast infection signs very seriously and even more seriously if you are the type to get recurring signs. It could very well be the signs that your yeast infections signs are more a
symptoms of something else rather than being the cause itself.
