Common Symptoms

These symptoms can be distressing, particularly when you are travelling and need confidential care in a different healthcare system. A vaginal yeast infection may cause:

Intense itching
Vulvar irritation or redness
Burning
Soreness
Pain during sex
External burning when urinating
Thick or unusual vaginal discharge

Vaginal symptoms are common, uncomfortable, and sometimes difficult to discuss. Similar symptoms can also be caused by bacterial vaginosis, sexually transmitted infections, dermatitis, or other conditions, so accurate assessment matters.

How We Treat It

The doctor will ask about your symptoms, pregnancy possibility, previous episodes, recent antibiotics, sexual-health risks, diabetes, immune conditions, and treatments already tried. Treatment may include:

Local vaginal antifungal treatment
Oral antifungal treatment when appropriate
Pregnancy-specific treatment choices
Testing or examination when symptoms are atypical, recurrent, severe, or persistent
Assessment for sexually transmitted infections or alternative diagnoses

Symptoms alone cannot reliably distinguish yeast infection from other causes of vaginitis. Recurrent, severe, pregnancy-associated, or treatment-resistant symptoms may require examination and laboratory testing.

When to Seek Immediate In-Person Care

Seek prompt in-person medical care if you have:

Severe pelvic or lower abdominal pain
Fever or feeling acutely unwell
Pregnancy with new vaginal symptoms
Blisters, ulcers, or significant genital swelling
Foul-smelling discharge or abnormal bleeding
Recurrent symptoms
Symptoms that do not improve after treatment

Frequently asked questions

Can a yeast infection be treated online in Spain?

Some typical, uncomplicated episodes may be assessed online. Testing or examination may be required when symptoms are recurrent, severe, atypical, or not improving.

Can I take oral antifungal treatment during pregnancy?

Treatment during pregnancy requires specific medical advice. Local treatment is generally preferred in pregnancy, and oral medication should not be taken without medical guidance.

Can a yeast infection be sexually transmitted?

Typical vaginal candidiasis is not generally considered a sexually transmitted infection. However, similar symptoms may be caused by an STI, so testing may be recommended based on the clinical history.

Online consultations are for non-urgent, non-life-threatening care only. In a medical emergency call 112 immediately or go to your nearest emergency department.
