When to see a doctor
Vaginal yeast infections are common, treatable, and not usually a cause for concern. It can be difficult to identify this infection, especially when experiencing it for the first time. This is why it is essential to receive a professional diagnosis. Also, a doctor can recommend different treatments if yeast infections develop often or do not improve with over-the-counter treatment. Anyone who has ongoing pain or other vaginal symptoms should consult a healthcare professional. And it is a good idea for all sexually active people to receive regular STI screenings.
