Yeast Infection Symptoms and Possible Complications

The more obvious symptoms are redness, itching and a curd-like discharge. There can, however, be far less obvious symptoms of infection that are not so easily detected. 

Many of the symptoms associated with yeast infections could also be related to other medical conditions. It is therefore always advisable to get the help of a health professional with the right experience so that you can have the problem correctly diagnosed and can then treat it correctly so that you get rid of it permanently.

Some of the more obvious symptoms in women may include the following:  

• Itching. 
• Pain during urination and sex. 
• Cottage cheese-like vaginal discharge – often with a strong yeasty odour. 
• In more serious cases there can also be: 
• • Severe swelling of the vagina. 
  • Painful cracks in the skin due to extreme dryness. 
  • General tiredness and fatigue.

Some of the more obvious symptoms in men may include the following:  

• Itching and redness of the penis and genital area. 
• Possible well defined smaller rashes close to the main rash. 
• Possible white cottage cheese-like discharge.

Other yeast infection symptoms may include: 

•  Yeast infection of the mouth and throat (oral thrush). This is likely to be red with a white coating and may cause pain when eating and swallowing. 
• A red and itchy skin rash – particularly in the folds of the skin. This may have slightly raised edges.  
• Damaged, discoloured, thickened or broken nails is also an indication of probable yeast infection.  
• Diaper rash (nappy rash) which does not go when treated with the usual diaper rash creams is an indication of yeast infection. The rash may be itchy and painful with raised edges.  

Complications connected with yeast infections 

Candida yeast infections can be due to a temporary condition and can therefore clear up on their own.  

There can be complications, however, if the condition is not temporary and is left untreated. If Candida gets into the blood stream it can cause more serious localised infections in other parts of the body. Symptoms may include joint pains, chest pains, irritable bowel syndrome and acne among others. 

Candida can cover the walls of our intestines and disrupt the normal digestive processes. This can inhibit the absorption of essential nutrients which in turn can cause other health problems. 

Other potential yeast infection symptoms are brought about by the Candida producing several toxic substances which can weaken our immune system and attack various key organs in our bodies. 

Many other less obvious symptoms usually accompany the obvious ones.
