Symptoms?: Do you have symptoms of a yeast infection? Finding yeast on a pap or culture is normal. All women have some yeast in the vagina. The object is not to sterilize the vagina, just to keep a good balance. If you are symptomatic, then you should have the yeast cultured with sensitivities to determine which antifungal will work best. Also, cut down on the sugar and carbs, and add low carb yogurt.
