If yeast is commonly present in normal women, who should be treated?

All women with the symptoms of infection described above should be treated. Women without symptoms should not be treated. Most experts do not recommend treating the sex partners of women with yeast vaginitis if they do not have symptoms themselves, although this has been a controversial issue.

Vaginal Yeast Infection At A Glance

Yeast vaginitis is an infection of the vagina caused by a fungus known as Candida.

Yeast vaginitis is characterized by itching, burning, soreness, pain during intercourse and/or urination, and vaginal discharge.

Yeast vaginitis can be treated with antifungal medications applied to the affected area or taken by mouth.

Candida may be normally present in small amounts in some women and not cause disease.

The presence of Candida without symptoms of infection does not require treatment.
