I’ve had a yeast infection before and know what the symptoms are. How do I know it’s not another yeast infection?
These two types of vaginal infections may occur simultaneously and are often confused, so it is important to be aware of the similarities and differences between them. More important, you need a proper evaluation and correct diagnosis by a healthcare provider—both to receive treatment to relieve your symptoms and to avoid any serious consequences that may develop as a result of leaving your vaginal infection untreated.
