Vaginal Yeast Infection
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Going in for a checkup makes sense when genital discomfort appears, and a vaginal yeast infection (candidiasis) is one of the most common causes: an overgrowth of fungi, usually of the Candida genus, that disrupts the normal balance of the vagina.
Common symptoms: It usually causes intense itching, burning, redness, and a whitish, thick discharge, sometimes with discomfort when urinating or during sexual intercourse.
Common causes: It can be promoted by hormonal changes, use of certain medications, moisture, poorly controlled diabetes, or alterations in the vaginal flora.
Which specialist treats it? The gynecologist, the family physician, or the general practitioner can guide the evaluation of the case. If the symptoms recur or do not subside, it is worth discussing it with one of these professionals to understand what is causing them.
