Is Vaginal Yeast Infection Serious or Normal?

Is vaginal yeast infection normal or something serious?

1 Answer
Dr. Mohit Saraogi

Gynecologist/Obstetrician

Answered on 27th Jan '25

Vaginal yeast infections are quite common and usually not a cause for alarm. Symptoms often include itching, burning, and unusual discharge. They are typically caused by an imbalance in the natural flora, sometimes triggered by factors like antibiotics, stress, or hormonal changes. Fortunately, these infections can be effectively treated with antifungal medications, which are available over the counter or through your healthcare provider. It’s always a good idea to consult a gynecologist if you experience recurrent issues or severe symptoms.

me and my boyfriend have an amazing sex life but recently my vagina is really tight and it hurts to have sex, the pain started last week and till today it hurts. we can only have sex once and thats it. its an uncomfortable pain

Female | 18

It is quite usual to experience some discomfort during intercourse but prolonged pain should be checked out. Tightness and aching during intercourse could be a symptom of a medical problem such as vaginismus or a pelvic infection. I recommend you to visit to a gynecologist to get the right diagnosis and proper treatment.

So, I have been to a urogynecologist and she thinks I have an overactive bladder. I have had this sensation like I'm leaking. I feel like I leak while I'm standing, sitting, or bending really much at any time. Well, today I had to go to the bathroom and when I pulled down my pants white stuff went on the floor. But, When I urinated in the toilet it was yellow. I am wondering if the leaking feeling I have is just a discharge. I did go to the er for back pain and they said I have sciatica.

Female | 23

What you saw on the floor as a white substance may be discharge, but it is vital to eliminate other possible sources. I would recommend that you visit your urogynecologist for an accurate diagnosis and the appropriate treatment plan.

When should I take a pregnancy test being 11 days late and sexually active?

Female | 16

If 11 days have passed since the date of the expected period but you have done the love deeds, it is a good idea to check whether you are pregnant. Irregular periods and being sexually active are among the most common signs of pregnancy. You can be pregnant if you haven't used a condom while you have sex. Pregnancy tests that you can do at home are an accurate method to find out. The tests reveal pregnancy hormones in your urine.

is this medically possible that you have periods for 2 days for past 2 months and still be pregnant

Female | 22

It is scientifically possible to have short phases during the first months of pregnancy. But it is vital to seek consultation from a gynecologist and do a pregnancy test to ensure that you are indeed pregnant. I suggest that one should contact gynecologist who deals with obstetrics and gynecology for this purpose.

Hi I'm FAVOUR, I missed my period for 2 months and I wasn't pregnant. I went for test and they said I have infection ( staphylococcus erus and candida albican), after which I was given 3 days injections of antibiotics. A week after the injection and treatment, I saw my period that lasted for 5 days but it wasn't flowing as usual. A week after seeing the period, I started seeing brown discharge coming out of my vagina and now it's not longer brown discharge that's coming out, it's blood, a heavy flow of blood is pouring out of my body 24/7, and it's been flowing like this for close to 2 weeks now, please what can I do?

Female | 19

The infection that you had might be the reason that your menstruation has changed and thus uneven bleeding has happened. Infections can sometimes cause heavy bleeding or irregular periods. The brown discharge you saw may have been old blood mingled with the vaginal discharge. Should the heavy bleeding continue, contacting a healthcare provider is vital to get a more thorough evaluation and care.

I m unmarried but in my reports I have pid problem how it is possible

Female | 22

PID is an infection of the female reproductive organs, usually caused by STIs like chlamydia or gonorrhea. However, PID can also be caused by non sexually transmitted infection, like bacterial infections, medical procedures, or bacterial imbalances. Regardless of sexual activity, PID requires medical attention for proper diagnosis and treatment.

I had an abortion 2months ago(i was 6 weeks pregnant),im going to have a sonogram of abdomen and pelvis for another medical reason,does the sonogram show that i had an abortion or that i was pregnant in general?

Female | 27

A sonogram won't reveal if you had an abortion . It can detect pregnancy in general . Talk to your doctor if you have any concerns .

I suffer from periods issue ,,when i started weight gaining foods start gaining some weight ,,,blood amount increases in body . I start to suffer from heavy menustral flow

Female | 25

Weight gain could be the reason for your heavy periods. It can lead to hormonal changes, increasing blood volume and resulting in heavier periods. This happens because fat cells produce estrogen, which affects the menstrual cycle. To help regulate your periods, try maintaining a healthy weight by incorporating a balanced diet and regular exercise into your routine.
