Vaginal Yeast Infection : When should you go to the doctor?

 Vaginal Yeast Infection : When should you go to the doctor?

Have you ever suffered from a vaginal yeast infection before and do you recognize the symptoms? Then there is a good chance that you are dealing with a vaginal yeast infection again. Do you doubt whether you suffer from a vaginal yeast infection or do the complaints not go away? Then consult your doctor or gynaecologist.

In addition, consult your doctor in the following cases:

  • If you have symptoms that suggest a vaginal yeast infection for the first time.
  • If your complaints (with or without treatment) have not diminished after two weeks. 
  • If you have had a vaginal yeast infection before, you recognize the symptoms and they have not diminished after two weeks. 
  • If you are younger than sixteen or   are (or have been) going through menopause . 
  • If you are  pregnant  or have diabetes.
  • If you take antibiotics for a long time.
  • If a vaginal cream or capsule has not helped enough. 
  • If your symptoms keep coming back. 
  • If you also get other complaints, for example pain in your lower abdomen, fever or other complaints that may indicate an STI.
  • If your vaginal discharge changes color, odor or amount.
