Question

When should you call a doctor about signs of a complicated yeast infection?

Answer 1

Signs of a complicated infection include:

If your symptoms are severe or they don’t get better after treatment with an over-the-counter cream or suppository, call your doctor.

Here are some other reasons to make an appointment:

• Severe symptoms (such as redness, swelling, and itching so severe that it causes tears or sores)
• A yeast infection that occurs four or more times in a year

• You've developed other kinds of symptoms.
• This is your first yeast infection.
• You’re not sure whether you have a yeast infection or something else.
