Could it be a yeast infection if my only symptom is itching?

Q: Hi. For the past 2 days, I’ve had a really intense, persistent vaginal itch, plus some mild dryness (as though i’m right about to get my period).I had a yeast infection a few years ago, so i know that what i have now definitely lacks the other tell-tale symptoms of a yeast infection (odor, discharge, etc.). Also, I am not sexually active, so this could NOT be an STD. Could this be a yeast infection, even without all the usual symptoms? (PS, if it continues, i will go to a doctor, but i’d like to start OTC treatment now if i can.)Please help! Thanks.

A: Yep, yeast infections can be yeast infections even if you don’t have any other symptoms. Most frequently, I only experience itching as a symptom (I get them fairly often). However, you shouldn’t start OTC treatment if you are going to see a doctor about it. And if you’re under 30, you probably should see a doctor to find out what caused it.

Yeast Infection symptoms with slight abdominal cramps: Any help?

Q: Never had a yeast infection but I think I might have one now but besides the original symptoms that have been happening for a week I have developed a slight abdominal cramp on my right side. It is not constant but noticeable. Are these symptoms related? Is this a yeast infection? (Itching, burning, discharge)

A: The itching would be severe and the discharge would be a clumpy cottage cheesy type discharge, You obviously have an infection of some kind but without running tests there is no way to know what it is. Go to urgent care or a walk in clinic and get it checked out. It could be spreading since you mention abdominal pain at times.
