Symptoms
========
Symptoms include severe itching, burning, and soreness, irritation of the vagina and/or vulva, and a whitish or whitish-gray discharge, often with a curd-like appearance.
Many women mistake the symptoms of the
more common bacterial vaginosis for a
yeast infection. In a 2002 study
published in the Journal of Obstetrics
and Gynecology, only 33 percent of women who were self-treating for a yeast infection actually had a yeast infection. Instead, they had either bacterial vaginosis or a mixed-type infection.
In men, symptoms include red patchy sores near the head of the penis or on the foreskin, severe itching, and/or a
burning sensation. Candidiasis of the
penis can also have a white discharge,
although uncommon. However, having no
symptoms at all is common, and usually,
a more severe form of the symptoms may
emerge later.
