The most common symptom is vaginal itching, which may be severe.

A vaginal yeast infection isn’t considered a sexually transmitted infection. But, there’s an increased risk of vaginal yeast infection at the time of first regular sexual activity. There’s also some evidence that infections may be linked to mouth to genital contact (oral-genital sex).

Symptoms of Vagina Yeast Infection

Symptoms include burning with urination, a thick, white vaginal discharge that typically does not smell bad, pain during sex, and redness around the vagina. Symptoms often worsen just before a woman’s period.

Yeast infection symptoms can range from mild to moderate, and include:

  1. Itching and irritation in the vagina and vulva
  2. A burning sensation, especially during intercourse or while urinating
  3. Redness and swelling of the vulva
  4. Vaginal pain and soreness
  5. Vaginal rash
  6. Thick, white, odor-free vaginal discharge with a cottage cheese appearance
  7. Watery vaginal discharge
