Very first time?
See a doctor if this is your first time experiencing what you think is a yeast infection. If you've had it before, then maybe you can do self care.
Pharmacist

Won't you at least like to find out from the doctor why it happened in the first place? This way you can avoid it in the future.
For instance the doctor might want to check for diseases that can lead to yeast infections like diabetes.
Moreover, it is very difficult to know if it is a yeast infection the first time around.

Would you like to see the nearest urgent care clinic or continue with this for now?

Brief reminder that diagnosis of a yeast infection is best done by the healthcare professional.
Pharmacist

This might involve clinical observation, taking a history, checking vaginal pH, wet mount microscopy or even culture to confirm the diagnosis.
Let's see if we are looking at a yeast infection in the first place.

 

Is this a frequently reoccurring yeast infection for you?
Pharmacist

 

Seek urgent care or call your doctor.
Pharmacist

Here is why:

  • Women with frequent recurrences require fungi culture to confirm the diagnosis.
  • Need to rule out any other causes of the symptoms of vaginal infections.

Are you looking at a thin, gray discharge with a fishy odor?
Pharmacist

 

Seek urgent care or call your doctor.
Pharmacist

Here is why:


In bacteria vaginosis a fishy odor is present, often becoming stronger when the discharge is more alkaline—after coitus and menses. Pruritus and irritation are common. Erythema and edema are uncommon.

Are you experiencing itching:

  1. Inside the vagina and
  2. At the entrance?
Pharmacist

 

Yes?
Yeast infection can cause this so also can a lot of other things. Let's continue.
Pharmacist

 

What about burning sensation while:

  • Urinating?
  • Having intercourse?
Pharmacist

 

Yes?
This is a symptom of a yeast infection. But then again other things can cause this. Let's Continue.
Pharmacist

 

Is the entrance to the vagina swollen?
Pharmacist

 

Yes?

 

Is the entrance reddish?
Pharmacist

 

Yes?

 

Take a look at the discharge again, is it:

  1. Thick?
  2. white?
  3. chunky (like cottage cheese)?
Pharmacist

 

Alright. We will suspect a yeast infection.
Pharmacist

Vaginal vulvar pruritus, burning, or irritation (which may be worse with intercourse) and dyspareunia are common, as is a thick, white, cottage cheese–like vaginal discharge that adheres to the vaginal walls. Symptoms and signs increase the week before menses. Erythema, edema, and excoriation are common. Infected male sex partners may or may not have symptoms. Recurrences after treatment are uncommon
