A yeast infection can cause a variety of symptoms, including itching, burning, and redness in the vulva (the outside parts of your vagina) . The way your vulva looks and feels and the type of discharge that comes from your vagina may change if you have a yeast infection. The area of skin just outside your vaginal opening may itch and burn. The itching and burning can feel worse when you pee or have sex. Your vaginal discharge may become thicker and lumpier, but it shouldn’t smell different. Here are some common signs and symptoms of a vaginal yeast infection:

• Itching and irritation in the vagina and vulva
• Redness, swelling, or itching of the vulva
• A thick, white discharge that can look like cottage cheese and is usually odorless, although it might smell like bread or yeast
• Pain or burning when urinating (peeing) or during sex

Its important to note that not everyone experiences symptoms or has the same symptoms, and some people may not have any symptoms at all. If you think you have a yeast infection, its best to contact your healthcare provider for advice and examination.
