What is a vaginal yeast infection?

A vaginal yeast infection, also known as candidal vulvovaginitis, is an imbalance of Candida yeast inside the body. Normally the presence of Candida, a common type of fungus, doesn't trigger health issues. But when it's overgrown, it can cause itching and discharge in the vaginal area.

What are vaginal yeast infection symptoms?

• Itchiness
• Irritation
• Odorless discharge
• Swelling/redness

Frequently asked questions

What can trigger vaginal yeast infections?
Yeast infections are associated with recent antibiotic use, high blood sugar (if you have diabetes), and immunocompromising health conditions.
And because vaginal yeast infections can be influenced by hormones, symptoms are often worse in the week before you get your menstrual period. Pregnancy is also a major risk factor.
What's the difference between a vaginal yeast infection and bacterial vaginosis (BV)?
Vaginal yeast infections and BV are both types of vaginitis, which is the general name for inflammation of the vagina or vulva. BV is the most common type of vaginitis, followed by vaginal yeast infections, then trichomoniasis (also known as trich).
Vaginal yeast infections and BV have some overlapping symptoms, like itchiness and discomfort, but BV is associated with a fishy odor, while yeast discharge is odorless. BV discharge also tends to be thin, grayish, or foamy, while yeast infection discharge tends to be thick, white, or like cottage cheese.
You're in the right place to get vaginal yeast infection treatment. If you're not sure what you have (a yeast infection or bacterial vaginosis), our health intake will help narrow down your symptoms so you can get the right treatment.
If you think you have trich, a sexually transmitted infection (STI), you'll need to see a primary care provider for lab testing.
Can I get yeast infection treatment for another part of my body through On-Demand Care?
Yes. If you're experiencing a fungal skin infection, we recommend that you request treatment for skin issues.
Yeast can become overgrown in many places, including in the mouth (called thrush or oral candidiasis) and in skin folds like the armpit.
Can I be treated for frequent or recurring yeast infections through On-Demand Care?
No. If you've been treated for 3 or more vaginal yeast infections within the past 12 months, you'll need to see a primary care provider for a vaginal swab. This can help determine what kind of Candida is causing your yeast infections.
Recurrent yeast infections may require specialized medications.
