Symptoms for yeast infections?


is it commom to have burning/pain when you urinate during a yeast infection? Also, what are other symptoms?

mild or severe itching
cottage cheese looking discharge

a bacterial infection of the vagina can feel a lot like a yeast infection if the vulval area is itchy or painful. unlike a yeast infection, the discharge can be dark yellow, green, or brown. and it won't smell like bread: it can smell like fish or something rotting, particularly after you have sex. if you think you might have a bacterial infection, or if you're not sure, get your diseased self to a doctor, sister. the main treatment is prescription antibiotics.

- urinary tract infections, or UTIs, are due to bacteria infecting the urethra rather than the vagina. (and if you aren't sure about the difference, check out elf sternberg's page on the sexual anatomy of women.) UTIs can be fairly easily distinguished from vaginal infections by a host of symptoms, including pain or burning when urinating, blood or mucus in urine, needing to urinate often, pain or pressure in back or lower abdomen, and a fever or chills. if you think you might have a UTI, don't mess around: go see a doctor, because the infection can travel up past the bladder, causing kidney damage.

- trichomoniasis is caused by a parasite that can infect both the vagina and the urinary tract, and is primarily sexually transmitted. if you have a trich infection, your crotch can be itchy or painful, it can hurt to urinate, intercourse can be painful, and occasionally you can experience pain in your lower abdomen. again, you have to see a doctor to get antibiotics for trich.

signs and symptoms of a yeast infection include:
thick "cottage cheese" like discharge
itching
redness
swelling
and/or burning insides and around the vagina

Mild to severe itching, discharge that's lumpy like cottage cheese and that smells fishy.
I don't normally have burning when I pee, that sounds like a UTI
