What exactly does it mean that a vagina is raw from a yeast infection?

Dr. Heidi Fowler answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Sxs: That can happen. 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. It means that you need treatment.
