The symptoms of vaginal yeast infection include:
* Vaginal itching that is often severe.
* Vaginal discharge that is usually white, curdlike, and odorless.
* Red, irritated skin around the opening to the vagina (labia).
* Pain while urinating when urine touches irritated skin.
* Pain in the vagina during sexual intercourse.
Symptoms of a vaginal yeast infection are more likely to occur during the week before a menstrual period.
There are other conditions with similar symptoms, such as bacterial vaginosis or a sexually transmitted disease. Itching and redness of the vulva can also be caused by a reaction to vaginal products such as soap, bath oils, spermicidal jelly, or douches. If you are unfamiliar with your symptoms, see your health professional for an accurate diagnosis.
Itching, burning, discharge and odor.
• Tenderness
• Rash on lips of the vagina
• Painful urination, possibly burning
Vaginal thrush is a common infection caused by a yeast called candida albicans, which lives – in small numbers – in areas of the body like the bowel, mouth and in the vagina. Thrush develops when candida numbers grow excessively. Thrush is also known as candidiasis.

*Vaginal discomfort – itching or burning
*A thick white discharge with a ‘cottage cheese’ appearance
