🔹 What Are Yeast Infection Symptoms in Women?
The most common signs of a vaginal yeast infection include:
- Intense itching or irritation around the vagina and vulva
- Thick, white, cottage cheese-like discharge with no strong odour
- Redness, swelling or soreness of the vulva
- Burning sensation during urination or sex
Symptoms often worsen just before menstruation or after antibiotic use. Mild cases may resolve naturally, but recurrent infections need medical attention.
🔹 Common Causes and Risk Factors
Yeast infections occur when Candida (a fungus naturally present in the body) overgrows. Key triggers include:
- Recent antibiotic use: Kills good bacteria that control yeast
- High oestrogen levels: Pregnancy, birth control pills, hormone therapy
- Weakened immune system: Stress, diabetes, steroids
- Tight synthetic underwear or poor hygiene: Especially in warm climates
- High-sugar diet or uncontrolled diabetes
Women in Spain's warm climate or traveling may notice more frequent episodes due to moisture and heat.
🔹 When to See an Online Doctor for Yeast Infection
Contact a doctor if:
- Symptoms persist after 3 days of over-the-counter treatment
- You have recurrent infections (4+ per year)
- You're pregnant, diabetic or immunocompromised
- Discharge has a foul odour or you have fever/pain (may indicate bacterial infection)
UrgentDoc online doctors specialise in women's health and can differentiate yeast infections from similar conditions like bacterial vaginosis or STIs.
