How do I know if I have a yeast infection or UTI?
Yeast infections occur due to an overgrowth of the Candida fungus, while UTIs result from bacterial infections in the urinary tract. Yeast infections cause itching, pain, and odorless vaginal discharge. UTIs, on the other hand, cause urinary symptoms, such as a frequent urge to urinate and painful urination.
How do you tell if it’s a UTI or yeast infection?
With a yeast infection, the inflamed external area of the vagina area is irritated when it comes into contact with urine. But with UTIs, the pain occurs because the internal urethra (which is the small tube that connects your bladder to the outside world so you can urinate) is inflamed from the infection.
Can a man get a yeast infection from a woman?
While yeast infections in men are rare, it is possible for a man to get an infection by having sex with a person who has a vaginal yeast infection. Uncircumcised men are more susceptible to developing a yeast infection. A yeast infection is not a sexually transmitted infection (STI).
How can you test for yeast infection at home?
The doctor will use a sterile cotton swab to retrieve a sample. Then, they’ll examine the sample under a microscope to determine if there’s an infection. If you take an at-home pH test, you’ll take one of the included pH strips and hold it against your vaginal wall for a few seconds.
What happens if yeast infection is left untreated?
Complications of untreated yeast infections If left untreated, vaginal candidiasis will most likely get worse, causing itching, redness, and inflammation in the area surrounding your vagina. This may lead to a skin infection if the inflamed area becomes cracked, or if continual scratching creates open or raw areas.
