Health Tip: Signs of a Yeast Infection

Latest MedicineNet News

(HealthDay News) -- Yeast infections are quite common -- as many as three in four women will have them, and half of women have more than one yeast infection in their lives.

These infections usually aren't serious and can be treated with over-the-counter medication.

If you've never had a yeast infection before, see a doctor to be sure it's nothing more serious. The American Academy of Family Physicians offers this list of typical symptoms:

  • An itching or burning sensation inside the vagina and the surrounding skin.
  • Vaginal discharge that is white and may have the consistency of cottage cheese.
  • Painful intercourse.
  • Swollen skin around the outside of the vagina.

  • · having a strong need to go to the bathroom right away (also called "urgency")
  • · leaks or wetting accidents (also called "urinary incontinence")
  • · having to go to the bathroom too often (also called "urinary frequency")

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

You should not take once-daily ENABLEX if you have certain types of stomach problems, glaucoma, or have trouble emptying your bladder. Side effects of ENABLEX include blurred vision, and more commonly dry mouth, constipation, indigestion, and abdominal pain. Use caution when doing certain activities until you know how ENABLEX affects you.
