Signs and Symptoms of Genital Yeast Infection
Women
Vaginal yeast infection can be divided into two levels of severity: localized
vaginal yeast infection and systemic yeast infection (where the infection has
manifested in other parts of the body in addition to the vagina and vulva area).
Localized vaginal yeast infection symptoms are:
• Itching, irritation and burning of the vagina or vulva
• White and abnormal discharge from the vagina
• Pain during sexual intercourse
• Inflammatory redness in the perineum area
• Over-sensitivity and irritation of the pubic hair follicles
• Frequent pain during urination
• Low pelvic aching.
Systemic vaginal yeast infection symptoms are:
•
Severe swelling of the vagina characterized by swollen anus and
purple color of the vulva
• Pain during urination
• Painful skin cracks due to extreme dryness of the vaginal and
vulva areas
• General fatigue and lethargy
• Walking difficulties
• Scratching the area causing bloody exudation
• Bleeding and swelling of hemorrhoid veins
• Difficulties having sexual intercourse.
Important note: Not all vaginal discharges indicate the involvement of yeast
infection. There are some discharges that are perfectly normal as they are
part of the natural moisture secretion of the vagina.
