How would a woman know if she has yeast infection?
If she has a thick discharge in her vagina, then probably she has a yeast infection. It looks like cottage cheese; however, the discharge is associated with a starchy odor and its color varies from white to a more yellowish tinge.
Aside from this kind of discharge (which, according to studies, are only experienced by 20 percent of the women with yeast infection), the easiest way that a woman can tell if she has yeast infection is the itchiness in and around her vagina. Her vulvar area can be red and swollen, making her urination painful. Sexual intercourse can also be painful as well.
There are also other indicators of yeast infection, such as abdominal pain, muscle and joint pain, persistent heartburn, severe itching, and white spots found on the mouth and the tongue. However, almost all women have the possibility of contracting yeast infection, so it is recommended to always look out for discharge and itching of the vagina. Some do not experience these symptoms.
