Dr. Heidi Fowler answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Be brave: You must be quite uncomfortable if you have a yeast infection. If this is your first possible infection or you have recurrent infections it is important to be accurately diagnosed and treated. You will feel so much better after you start treatments and your symptoms resolve.
