Question 1

can you have a yeast infection without much discharge (instead - red, irritated, burning skin on the vulva, little itchiness)?

Accepted Answer

Typical symptoms!: Contrary to what you seem to think (or what you have been told), increased discharge is not one of the main symptoms of yeast. Your own symptoms are exactly what I teach medical students to look for and patients to be aware of. See a doctor to confirm the diagnosis. Or you can try an over the counter yeast medication -- then see the doc if symptoms don&#x27;t clear up in a few days. Good luck!

Question 2

can you have a yeast infection without itching or discharge?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Yeast are there normally. Symptoms occur when they proliferate abnormally, often because an antibiotic has reduced the bacteria which compete with the yeast.

Question 3

is it possible to have a yeast infection without discharge or odor?

Accepted Answer

No odor with v D/C: Symptoms of a yeast infection may include: burning, redness & itching of the vulva; burning with urination & vaginal intercourse & a clumpy, white, vaginal discharge with no odor. Sometimes the discharge isn’t apparent. 
 So in short: yes.

Question 4

can you have a yeast infection without usual symptoms (pain, redness, itching)? just much much more (whitish, milky) discharge?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: As you seem to know, the main symptoms of yeast are irritation, itching, and redness. When there is discharge, usually it is scant and clumpy. "Witish, milky" vaginal fluid could be normal. However, any new, abnormal, or unexplained vaginal discharge should be medically evaluated. Many possible causes, including infections (STDs, bacterial vaginosis), hormonal changes, and more. See your doctor.

Question 5

is it possible to have a yeast infection without the discharge? and can it cause bad itching & tiny papercut-like tears/cuts between the labia?

Accepted Answer

It may: All yeast infections do not necessarily have a discharge.  And the symptoms you describe, can be caused by an active, severe yeast infection.

Question 6

is it possible to get a yeast infection without discharge?

Accepted Answer

Yes: If it does not involve the vaginal barrel, the yeast infection can be without discharge on the mucous membranes of the perineum (labia, vulva) or the surrounding skin.

Question 7

how to tell you have a yeast infection? is it thick discharge?

Accepted Answer

Burning, itching,,,: A yeast infection of the vagina or vulva may cause severe itching, burning, soreness, irritation, and a whitish or whitish-gray cottage cheese-like discharge, often with a curd-like appearance.  In the clinic, etc. Diagnosis is done with a scraping or swab of the area placed on a microscope slide, which is treated with KOH dissolving the cells and leaving the candida yeast cells.

Question 8

can i have a yeast infection without knowing it? just finished meds for bv. and have heavy yellowish discharge.

Accepted Answer

Question unclear: You have symptoms which are not incompatible with yeast infection. If you are asking whether this could be due to yeast infection, the answer is yes, and antibiotics used to eliminate BV can increase the risk for secondary candidiasis. Go and get reexamined and treated if necessary.  Good luck.

Question 9

can you have a yeast infection with no symptoms?white discharge no infection no std how can i get my vagina balanced so i can have normal discharge?

Accepted Answer

Yes : Many women have discharge without other symptoms. In general we look for itching and odor. Testing is needed to determine the exact cause and then create a treatment option. Yeast and bacterial vaginosis are the two most common non sexually transmitted causes of discharge. Testing is needed to know which is the cause.

Question 10

if you have a yeast infection (itching; clumpy, white discharge) & you have a small cut on your skin above the clitoris, could it get into that cut & cause nausea or fatigue? or can a yeast infection potentially cause that anyway?

Accepted Answer

: Repeat question:  the previous reply was accurate. Vaginal yeast infection is an unlikely cause of such symptoms. If nausea and fatigue continue, see a doctor to evaluate other causes.
