May 12th, 2009 | 
Author: There are other conditions that cause similar symptoms to a yeast infection so a trip to your doctor may be in order too.
Here are the 5 most common symptoms of a yeast infection.
1). Vaginal itching. A lot. This will be very uncomfortable and will be impossible to ignore.
2). Burning. Again this will be very uncomfortable and intense. If it occurs during urination it could be a sign of a urinary tract infection. One of the ways to tell the difference between a UTI and a yeast infection is to pay attention to when it starts to burn. If the burning sensation occurs when the urine is outside the body it is probably a yeast infection. If it occurs in your urinary tract, inside the body, it is most likely a UTI.
3). Unusual odor. It can smell like bread or beer. It other words, yeast.
4). Discomfort during or after sexual intercourse.
5). Irritation of the vagina.
These are just some of the most common symptoms.
There is no real evidence to suggest that yeast infections are related to sexual activity. Normally you can prevent a yeast infection by following a few simple steps.
Be careful when using perfumed feminine sprays since there use can upset your normal balance and create an excess of yeast.
Don’t wear nylon underwear. This fabric doesn’t allow your skin to breath which can create an even warmer environment for the yeast to grow.
Wearing a damp bathing suit or panty hose for an extended period of time.
Trying to avoid these risk factors may allow you to greatly reduce the number of yeast infections that y0ou get. But remember, yeast is a natural part of your body and there are many reasons why your body could get out of balance.
