How do i know i have a yeast infection?

also can you hav a yeast infection and only itch every once and a while or is it constant?

whats the syptoms? can you bleed?

Yeast Infections are So bad!! Here are the symptoms that I expierence when I have one.


ITCHING! (at first its once in awhile...but then a day or 2 later it's pretty bad)

Burning down there. (especially if I scratch from the itching it just burns)

Painful Intercourse. (If you are having Intercourse then you will know right away something is wrong)

Grouse Odor (I can't really explain the smell just funky)

clumpy discharge (this has only happened Once when I had a Yeast Infection and the discharge was literally like Cottage Cheese. It was Disgusting!)


Ok..that is all the symptoms that I have had. I'm not sure if bleeding is normal or not. I think Monistat (or one of those feminine products) has a Vaginal test kit you can buy like at a Drug Store or Wal-Mart. And it saves you from going to the Doctor. And it tells you if you what kind of infection down there you have. You may wanna check that out instead of going to a doctor.

A yeast infection can have several symptoms, not all of them present for every woman. Generally, there is a white discharge, a bit sticky and can resemble cottage cheese texture or be milky. Often there is pain with intercourse and itching inside the vagina and the vulva. You may notice redness as well. As the yeast infection progresses, the symptoms should become more severe. If you have never had a yeast infection, it's recommended to have it diagnosed by a physician. That way you'll know for sure and recognize it the next time.

Unless you've had one before, it is best to have a doctor check you out to make sure it is just a yeast infection and not an std. There are some std's that act like a yeast infection. Always seek a professional answer rather than a yahoo answer when it comes to something that affects your health.

You can take a home test. I believe First Response makes one. You can also go to an OB/GYN for an exam. They can diagnose an infection as well as prescribe anything to help. You'll feel a burning when you "pee" and possibly an itchy discharge.

The Symptoms are:

-Bleeding
-Dryness that causes itching
-a cottage cheese like discharge
-Sometimes there's an odor
-Burning Urination
-Painful Intercourse
