&lt;p data-start=&quot;1004&quot; data-end=&quot;1386&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;A vaginal yeast infection, also known as vaginal thrush or vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC), happens when Candida yeast overgrows in the vagina. Candida can be present naturally without causing issues, but changes in the vaginal environment can allow it to multiply and trigger symptoms like itching, soreness, burning and discharge.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;1388&quot; data-end=&quot;1679&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;Because yeast infection symptoms can overlap with &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.pulse-clinic.com.sg/bacterial-vaginosis&quot;&gt;bacterial vaginosis (BV)&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;span style=&quot;text-decoration: underline; color: #003366;&quot;&gt;trichomoniasis&lt;/span&gt;, and non-infectious irritation, testing is recommended when symptoms are new, persistent, recurrent, or not improving with over-the-counter treatment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 data-start=&quot;2410&quot; data-end=&quot;2588&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;What is Vaginal Thrush?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;2410&quot; data-end=&quot;2588&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;Vaginal thrush is most commonly caused by &lt;strong data-start=&quot;2452&quot; data-end=&quot;2472&quot;&gt;Candida albicans&lt;/strong&gt;, though other Candida species can be involved, especially in recurrent cases.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;2590&quot; data-end=&quot;2815&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;Singapore context: heat and humidity can increase moisture and friction, which may worsen irritation and create conditions that make symptoms feel more intense. The right diagnosis matters so you do not treat the wrong cause.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;5139&quot; data-end=&quot;5328&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;If you are unsure, symptoms persist, or infections recur, testing helps confirm Candida and exclude BV, trichomoniasis, or other causes of vaginitis.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;5330&quot; data-end=&quot;5359&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;What testing may involve:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;li data-start=&quot;5448&quot; data-end=&quot;5500&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;Examination (redness, inflammation, discharge)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;5504&quot; data-end=&quot;5639&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;Vaginal swab for microscopy, and sometimes culture or PCR in recurrent or complicated cases&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

&lt;p data-start=&quot;4591&quot; data-end=&quot;4753&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;If thrush keeps returning, evaluation is important to rule out non-albicans species or other conditions that mimic thrush.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p data-start=&quot;4782&quot; data-end=&quot;5083&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Treatment options&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;Treatment depends on whether the infection is uncomplicated, severe, recurrent, or during pregnancy.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Uncomplicated thrush&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;Common options include topical azole antifungals (creams or pessaries) or oral fluconazole when appropriate.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Recurrent thrush&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;If you have multiple episodes in a year, you may need confirmation of the Candida type and a longer course plus maintenance treatment, guided by your clinician.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Self-care while recovering&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;6558&quot; data-end=&quot;6604&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;Avoid douching and perfumed vaginal products&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;6607&quot; data-end=&quot;6676&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;Keep the area dry and breathable (cotton underwear, loose clothing)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;6679&quot; data-end=&quot;6723&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;Change out of wet gym or swimwear promptly&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;6726&quot; data-end=&quot;6795&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;If sex worsens symptoms, consider pausing until discomfort resolves&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;6798&quot; data-end=&quot;6912&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;If you have diabetes, improving glucose control can reduce recurrence risk&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2 data-start=&quot;6919&quot; data-end=&quot;6942&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #003366;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;When to see a doctor&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;6944&quot; data-end=&quot;6969&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;Seek medical review if:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;6972&quot; data-end=&quot;7018&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;This is your first suspected yeast infection&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;7021&quot; data-end=&quot;7039&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;You are pregnant&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;7042&quot; data-end=&quot;7081&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;Symptoms persist after self-treatment&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;7084&quot; data-end=&quot;7130&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;Symptoms return quickly or happen repeatedly&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;7133&quot; data-end=&quot;7184&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;You have pelvic pain, fever, or abnormal bleeding&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li data-start=&quot;7187&quot; data-end=&quot;7275&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;Discharge is fishy-smelling or unusual in colour&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p data-start=&quot;8835&quot; data-end=&quot;9062&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #333333;&quot;&gt;If you&amp;rsquo;re experiencing persistent symptoms, especially with discharge, itching, burning, or irritation, a quick consultation and simple vaginal swab test can usually identify the cause and guide targeted treatment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
