Soreness
Women with a yeast infection commonly feel soreness in or around the vagina. Usually, this is due to a combination of other symptoms. In mild cases, an over-the-counter antifungal medication may help. In more serious cases, a prescription medication may be necessary.
Soreness and other symptoms may be managed using various tactics. Wearing loose clothing and 100 percent cotton underwear may provide some relief. Avoiding activities that cause sweating or contact with the vaginal area may also help.
