Symptoms of yeast infections vary from person to person so it is very difficult to diagnose. However there are also some common symptoms from which one can identify the disease.
One of the common symptoms of a vaginal yeast infection in women is a white, thick discharge which looks like curd and contains the yeasts. This discharge can be odorless or perhaps have a starchy odor. This is normally white but can be yellowish also. Anyway some women may not have this discharge and still have the infections. In that case the symptoms are severe itching in the vagina. There may be a sense of burning in the affected area and the area can become swollen. There may be pain while urinating or having sexual intercourse. If these symptoms are present with a fever or pelvic pain that means the condition is serious and she must consult her doctor for proper diagnosis and treatments.
Symptoms of yeast infections in the mend genital area are quite similar to the vaginal candidiasis in women except for the discharge. There are severe itching, burning and irritation in the genital area.
The most common symptom of oral yeast infection or thrush is a thick, creamy white patch over a red base inside the mouth especially on the tongue and inside the cheeks. These patches looks like curds and can not be removed very easily. If someone tries to remove it with something, tissue beneath the patches may bleed. The tongue may look very red without the white coating over it. Thrush can make it very painful and difficult to eat.
