If you're sitting there, right now, and wondering about whether or not you have a yeast infection (or YI), it is time for you to find out for sure.
One thing that you could do is to get up right NOW and march yourself over to a doctor's office in order to get yourself diagnosed.
Before you do that though, how about we take a look at what exactly a YI is and see if you're able to identify any of your symptoms! Generally speaking, if you're having a yeast infection, the most common symptoms would include: * Itching and burning sensations around the affected area * White or off-white discharge from the vagina or penis (if the yeast infection is of the genitals) * Red patchy sores and swelling It is important to note that although most people generally think of YI as being a type of genital infection, the truth is that they may occur in other places too! Some other common types of YI include thrush (mouth-based yeast infection), skin infections, and even nail infections.
So just because your genital area is not affected, it does NOT mean that you don't have a YI.
Should you find yourself facing any of the symptoms I just described on a continuous basis, then you should definitely head over to a medical professional and get them checked out! BE WARNED: Although YI's are common, and many people recover from them completely in time, if left untreated it could develop into something far more SERIOUS.
In fact, it could even become LIFE THREATENING!
