Vaginal Infection

What is Vaginal Infection?

Vaginal infections don’t always cause noticeable symptoms.

If you do develop symptoms, you’ll likely notice some of these common ones:

• vaginal itching and burning
• vaginal soreness and discomfort
• inflamed, flushed, or swollen skin around your vagina and vulva
• a change in the amount of vaginal discharge
• a change in the colour of vaginal discharge
• pain or burning during urination
• pain during penetrative vaginal sex
• vaginal bleeding or spotting

You might have just one or a few of the symptoms listed above. If your symptoms don’t go away within a few days, or if they get worse, it’s important to connect with a healthcare professional to get a diagnosis and treatment.
