Common Candida Symptoms to Look For
If you think you might have candida symptoms, here are three of the most common ones that usually indicate there is a high probability that you have a candida yeast infection.
Soreness: this is an unmistakable and obvious of the candida symptoms. You will experience soreness in the affected area that will cause burning sensations and itching. In the case of females, you experience irritation in the lining of your vagina and when you need to urinate, it is accompanied by discomfort and sometimes intense pain. In some cases the soreness affects your movement and can be so bad that it is almost impossible to walk. And if you’re intimate with someone, this is one symptom you don’t want to hear – discomfort and pain during sexual intercourse.

Discharge: only about twenty percent of adult women experience discharge from yeast infections, but is it one of the candida symptoms that is specific to the condition. The discharge can be clear, white or yellowish in color and can be thick or thin in consistency. In some extreme cases the discharge can be a thick white clump.
There may be no discharge in some cases, but the affected area becomes sore and cause great discomfort.
Odor: one of the clearest possible candida symptoms is the distinct odor the yeast infection produces. If you can imagine the smell of bread, then this starchy odor is very similar. Since bread is made from yeast and candida albicans is just another variation of it, the odor produced by its fermentation in warm human flesh is similar. The yeast odour, together with an associated discharge, is usually the thing that makes the diagnosis pretty certain.
