Pain or discomfort can be quite severe depending on the size and exact location of the sore. What causes the sore? Each of those little cheesy like chunks of white discharge was originally on the wall of your vagina. When you use a tampon the wall is scraped and the white covering is stripped away leaving the sore behind.

What is left is a raw open spot which hurts when bumped or scrapped by the tampon or tampon applicator. The good news is these sores if caused by yeast can be easily treated. Whether you choose to visit a medical clinic, an alternative health care provider or use a combination of treatments you can quickly start to heal the sores on your vagina from yeast infection.

Do You Really Need To Talk With A Healthcare Provider?

Symptoms of genital herpes with its sores are very similar to those of vulvovaginal candidiasis. The treatments for herpes are very different from yeast.

While you're waiting to hear from your healthcare provider, there are some steps you can take:

Stop using the tampon and using a sanitary pad to avoid scraping those sores on your vagina because of yeast infection.

By eating yogurt with live cultures of acidophilus, you can start your body on track to decrease the growth of the Candida.

You want your skin to breathe so avoid tight fitting clothes. Tight fitting clothes like jeans trap moisture and heat which are prime Candida growing conditions.

You may want to apply an anti itch cream to the skin outside your vagina. This can make you feel a little more comfortable.

Decrease the sugary foods you're eating. Many women crave sugar during their menstrual periods. Sugary foods elevate your blood sugar encouraging the Candida growth.

Stop sexual intercourse until you know whether you have a Candida infection or genital herpes.

Use these simple tips to decrease the pain of vaginal sores. You'll find it easier to get relief from the sores of vaginal yeast infection.
