What Is a Yeast Infection?
3. Itchiness
One of the most common symptoms of a yeast infection is that the patient is likely to feel itchy in the genital region. This includes the vulva and in the vagina. The itchiness is likely to cause the patient to want to scratch their genitals, and this can lead to further problems.
This is because the scratching can result in the skin being broken, potentially leading to infections. In addition to the itchiness, the patient will also likely feel a burning sensation. This is usually felt when urinating, and also during sex. The vulva is also likely to become visibly red and swollen.
