Finally, there's vaginal thrush or vaginal yeast infection. This only occurs with women and can be quite unpleasant. This infection causes swelling and itching in or around the vagina. You might face burning sensation during intercourse or urination. With this type of soreness or redness around the vagina, you might get an abnormal vaginal discharge. Just like most fungal infections, treatment depends on the severity of the condition. Usually, a doctor would give you prescription tablets, creams or suppositories. You can buy these at your local drugstore. If your infection is already severe, you may need more complicated forms of treatment. Aside from medication, practice proper hygiene to treat fungal infections in the vagina.
