Return to Home Page  Return to Symptoms Page

Yeast infection symptoms are common. Yeast infections may occur in the mouth (thrush) or on the skin. Yeast infection symptoms are seen in association with vaginal infections. About ¾ of women will develop a vaginal yeast infection at some point during their life.

Vaginal yeast infection symptoms can include a white discharge and pruritis. Sometimes women will be asymptomatic. Redness and swelling of the labia may occur.


Symptoms often will vary throughout the menstrual cycle, and may increase during the week prior to menstruation.


Yeast infection symptoms are seen in the setting of steroid treatment and in patients with diabetes. About 85% of yeast infections are due to Candida albicans. Yeast infection symptoms may not resolve until treated for 2-3 days.
