Yes, possible yeast: These are typical symptoms of a yeast infection. You could try an over the counter yeast medication -- look for a product with active incredient ending in "azole" (clotrimazole, miconazole, several others). If that doesn't clear up your symptoms within a week, see a doctor for further evaluation. Good luck!

I recently had a yeast infection about a month ago, and I don't know if I have another one. It really burns and itches in my vaginal area. I also experience a lot of pain during sexual intercourse. What do I have and how should I treat it?
