Vaginal Yeast Infection: symptoms and which specialist to see

Vaginal Yeast Infection

Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy

Vaginal yeast infection is an infection caused by the excessive growth of fungi in the vaginal area, being one of the most common gynecological complaints. It alters the natural balance of the region's flora.

Common symptoms: itching, burning, redness, and a thick, whitish discharge. There may also be discomfort when urinating or during intercourse.

Contributing factors: hormonal changes, prolonged moisture, use of very tight clothing, and situations that alter the defenses or the balance of the vaginal flora.

Which specialist treats it? The evaluation falls to the gynecologist, with the initial guidance that the general practitioner can provide. When symptoms are intense, recur frequently, or raise concerns, the most advisable course is to have them evaluated by a professional rather than self-medicating.
